On Wednesday, September 9, gyms are reopening across Michigan. I have mixed feelings. As a "gym" owner, I an excited to see people able to return to exercise equipment they desperately need. As someone who studied public health, I cringe at the prospect of people running on treadmills and sharing the same air in cardio classes. We know from published research that Covid-19 can spread in these situations. As a responsible business owner, my number one goal is to keep my customers and staff safe and healthy.
Thus, we've made changes at Better Living Fitness.
To provide you with the safest gym environment, Better Living is doing the following:
- Limit the use of the 4,200ft facility to 4 clients/hr. Call 734.747.0123 to make an appointment
- Provide individual workout rooms to eliminate any sustained contact with others
- Equip every patron gets a clean towel, rag and bottle of CDC-approved sanitizer
- Require everyone in the building to wash hands upon entry
Covid-19 is an airborne virus. Therefore, we have taken additional precautions to create the safest gym environment:
- Air conditioning/furnace units run continuously - this creates a continual flow of outdoor air into the facility.
- HEPA air purifiers approved to filter coronavirus are installed.
- Ceiling fans are set to push air down toward the floor. This quickens the settling of particles from the air to the floor.
You may read all of this and think, why go to a gym? Sure, you can decide to keep working out at home. We will continue to provide video-based personal training AND Full-Body FIT sessions indefinitely. There is no safer way to work on your fitness right now than via Zoom/FaceTime. However, if you want to go back to a gym for the motivation or the superior equipment, we will provide you the safest, best run gym experience you will find.
As always, email me at mark@betterlivingfitness.com to let me know how I can best help you.
Be well,
Mark
