Here at Fitbody Fitness, we think you’ll agree that it has been a long 2020 and these are very strange times.
While fitness is a huge part of getting and staying healthy (and health is our main concern), we were not immune to the effects of the shutdown, not unlike other businesses at the time. We saw a drop in clientele as everyone hunkered down after hearing news of the pandemic, wondering about having enough income to simply stay in businesses. Because of our professional certifications working with special populations such as individuals battling cancer and brain injuries, however, we were allowed to remain open under the “essential business” clause.
Now that we have re-opened, we’ve made some changes, going above and beyond observing guidelines required of us. We ensure everyone who works out at our studio observes distancing rules and found it prudent to hire a special janitorial service to scour the studio with disinfectant more deeply and frequently than in the past and stay vigilant by wiping down mats, weights, ropes and machines after each class or client leaves. In this way, you can feel safe when you enter, work out, and after you leave our little fitness haven. This is in addition to adding sanitation stations and interviewing our members, questioning them about their health as well as who they have been in contact with before entering the studio.
We feel blessed that many of our clients are already diligent about safety, staying at home if they feel even a hint of illness. As a tight knit community, we are always watching out for one another. We have also taken on more private sessions as well as smaller group sessions limited to 4 or fewer. In this way we can focus on boutique style training, enabling us to be less affected by the closures.
Whether you are a longstanding client or fairly new to us, we want you to know that we appreciate you and will do our very best to keep you safe and help you get and stay fit. Here’s to a 2021 that will see this scourge come to an end and bring sunlight to the beginning of a decade that threw us all for a loop!
