Opening commercial gyms
To open commercial gyms - insuring social distancing is in place/face coverings mandatory. Before gyms closed my gym was extremely clean, disinfectant after every use of machines and ensuring there was 2metre gap between each machine/bench etc.
Why the contribution is important
for The last 5 years I have attended the gym where I train to build muscle not to do cardio hence why exercising outside does not help me. I have ulcerative colitis and I have osteoporosis due to the medication I have taking to help my UC, I attend the gym to help build muscle around my joints to ease the pain I get. Without me being able to attend the gym I am suffering with pain and this is effecting my mental health. I use the gym to ensure my joints/muscle stops wasting away and to ensure I’m mentally in a better place.

Encourage gyms to run outdoor or online classes where possible
Staff and customers to wear masks
Remove small pieces of equipment like bands, kettlebells etc as they will be hard to clean and have high turnover of use.
Put wipes and sanitizer throughout the gym
Remove every second piece of cardio equipment like treadmills to allow more space
Booking system to limit numbers
No face to face inductions or programmes
