Today’s announcement from Boris Johnson stated that certain businesses – such as pubs and hairdressers – will be able to reopen as of 4 July.
Sadly for you fitness fanatics, gyms are not included in the list of businesses opening. But that doesn’t mean chains haven’t got their plans in place for when it does happen.
PureGym have certainly got everything set out for this, with a video they released on social media today showing exactly how they plan to keep everyone safe.
‘We’re not open yet, but we’re ready!’ they said on Facebook.
‘At PureGym, we’ve always put our members first. That’s why we’re committed to providing you with a cleaner, safer place to train and you’ll still find everything you need for a great workout.
‘When the government confirms we can reopen our gyms, we’ll be ready to welcome you back in the gym.
‘We’ll be in touch with all of our members when our gyms start to reopen, but for now, take a look at what you can expect when you return.’
One of the main measures in place will be an extended cleaning routine from staff, as well as added cleaning stations so people can make sure stations are sanitised before and after use.
There will also be stickers showing how far away you should stand from other gym-goers, with one-way systems in place in certain locations.
You’ll have to abide by urinal rules when it comes to treadmills and bikes, leaving one in between each other for your cardio sessions.
Opening hours will be reduced to start with, and visitors are advised to avoid busy times if they can. You’re also going to have to make sure you book your classes in advance (and turn up!) as these will be reduced, too.
We predicted that gyms would see massive shifts in how they operate in the coming months, and these pictures show how this ‘new normal’ is very far from what we’re used to.
Now we just have to wait for the green light for them to open.
