Covid-19 Safety Tips: Are you Gym Ready?


You want to maintain, or start, a fitness regime but you are still concerned about the risks of compromising your health due to Covid-19. You're not alone.

There has been a lot of debate about gym safety since fitness and training centers started reopening over the past few months. As a gym owner, I never would have imagined that anything would force the closure of fitness and training centers but Covid-19 surprised everyone, and in all industries. 

Questions arise about the distance, air quality, equipment cleaning and number of patrons: 
  • Are machines and people at least six feet apart? 
  • Is there adequate air circulation? 
  • Is there easy access to sanitation stations? 
  • How crowded is the facility? 

During this time, I had to make some important decisions regarding the space that houses my personal training studio. I considered the upgrades and supplies that would be necessary to meet the state health and safety standards that were under development. One major decision was to move my company into a new facility. 

The new facility meets spacing and capacity requirements. The machines are placed at the proper distance. There are sufficient sanitation stations. The space has good air circulation and ventilation, and has windows than can be opened. There is also an outdoor grassy area where clients can do sprints, technique work, and other exercises. 

FSE is open and ready to receive more clients at the new, Covid-19 safe location.

If you're in the NE Ohio area and searching for a place to train, contact me regarding a facility tour and signing up for GameReady Sports Officials' training.
