Following the official reopening of gyms and fitness center in New York post pandemic, we have established new health and safety guidelines for your studio visit:
- Upon entering the studio, clients have to wash their hands before touching or using the equipments and we recommend using hand sanitizer before exiting the studio
- Clients will be asked to sign a COVID-19 disclosure form. We will offer an email waiver option that can be printed and signed at home and then bring it with you on first your visit. If you sign the waiver at the studio, we will sanitize pens after each use.
- Lessons will be limited to 50 mins - allowing us to disinfect all of the shared spaces, equipment and restroom before next client visit.
- Clients and instructors are asked to maintain a minimum of 6 feet distance to practice physical distancing - we added social distance markers on the floor
- Listening carefully to instructors' directions will be essential to ensure your safety as instructors cannot spot you and we also want to avoid an injury or accident.
- Clients must wear socks in the studio at all times.
- Please keep as many personal items in your home and do not bring them into the studio. You will keep any of the items you bring in your bag. Shoes must be placed in the shoe rack.
- Clients will be asked to refrain from lingering in the studio after lesson so we can disinfect properly and prepare for the next client.
Additionally, we've added Two HyperHEPA filters in the studio to purify the air and we made hand sanitizers available throughout the studio. Also, we are using Clorox and Lysol cleaning products - wipes, spray and bleach, to ensure the best cleaning possible!
Furthermore, we recommend to follow the CDC guidelines for Who should remain safe at home:
- If you consider yourself at high risk for severe illness or reside with such an individual, please refrain from coming to the studio until it is considered safe.
- If you are 65 or older, the CDC recommends staying home. However, we have clients in this age category who are very healthy. Please regard the CDC regulations and decide if you are at risk.
- Please do not come in if you are experiencing the following: Fever, Cough, Shortness of Breath, Loss of smell or Taste.
- Please stay home if you have had contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
We believe these protocols will help provide the confidence and level of service that you expect by keeping your safety top priority and executing the highest degree of hospitality that you have always experienced.
Looking forward to your visit,
Abena Pilates
