THE FITNESS ROOM HALIFAX
We are committed to re-opening in the safest and most responsible way possible. We will be following all government guidelines as per the https://novascotia.ca/reopening-nova- scotia/ . The safety of our community has always been our top priority, and we’re even more focused on it now.
STUDIO UPDATES-SAFETY PROTOCOLS:
LEAVING & ENTERING THE STUDIO
-Staff and students are required to wear a mask upon entering, walking around inside and leaving the studio. We only remove the mask to exercise.
-Staff and members must sanitize their hands upon entering the studio.
-We will prop open the door 10 minutes before each class. This allows members to flow in and out of the studio, find their designated "workout bubble" or bike and maintain social distance.

MASKS
Dr. Strang specifically stated that although masks should be worn in public areas, mask may be removed during the workout. “When you’re actually working out you can remove the mask”.
We have gone through all of Dr. Strang's guidelines with a fine tooth comb. Although our staff have been wearing mask when moving around the studio and taking them off to teach when they are in their teaching bubble, we now ask members to do the same.
As of July 31st masks have been mandatory in public places and in the lobbies/common areas of private businesses. We ask our students to wear masks when they enter the studio and until they are in their designated and marked “WORKOUT BUBBLE” and also when they leave.

Health Checks*Staff health check:
Every staff member and instructor will have their temperature and health monitored for Covid -19 symptoms. They will not be able to enter the studio without signing a Health Declaration stating that they agree to the health and safety parameters put in place by our government. *Masks and barriers: When the 6 foot and 9 foot social distancing rule cannot be followed we will be wearing masks and/or shields and we also have a Plexiglass barrier at the front desk. *Health Declarations: Before coming in to the studio, you must sign a Health Declaration stating that you agree to the health and safety parameters put in place by our government. You’ll be able to do this in your app before checking in. *Ventilation: Our Ventilation system was designed specifically for The Fitness Room in mind. This allows us to continually remove stale air from inside while bringing in fresh filtered air from outside during all our classes. |
