Response to COVID-19

Dear The Gym Glenelg Member,

The purpose of this statement is to outline what we are doing as a business to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and new temporary standards we have in place for our members to follow.

WHAT WE’RE DOING

To reduce the risk of COVID-19 spreading through the community, we are taking the current precautionary actions;

• Effective immediately, our Group Fitness classes have been cancelled until further notice;
• On top of our current cleaning schedule, we have employed another cleaner on a full-time basis to disinfect high-traffic areas in the facility (exercise mats, equipment handles, machine buttons, etc.);
• We have increased the availability of alcohol-based hand sanitiser, disinfectant, rubber gloves and antibacterial wipes around the facility, as well as ordered a large quantity for the foreseeable future;
• We have introduced a mandatory ‘No Towel, No Training’ policy. Towels are available at reception and in the vending machine;
• We are meeting weekly as a team to discuss the current circumstance and how we can continue improve our environment for all members.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Our members are expected to take part in the response to COVID-19. Here is what we require you to do;

• If you’re demonstrating symptoms or have been in contact with someone who’s known to have symptoms – do not visit our facility and seek appropriate medical attention;
• Please thoroughly wipe down all of your equipment after use with antiseptic;
• Regularly clean your hands with sanitiser and cover your mouth with the inside of your elbow when you cough;
• Take steps to protect yourself and others, such as practising good hygiene and self-isolating yourself if you’re sick;
• Keep in touch with friends and family to make sure they’re well;
• Stay well informed via: https://www.health.gov.au/news/health-alerts/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov-health-alert

The safety, health and wellness of everyone in our community is much bigger than any one of us and we are doing what we can to protect our community and prevent the further spread of COVID-19.

We will be operating as per normal unless advised otherwise by Government Regulations.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Kind regards,

Alec Hill
Director
The Gym Glenelg
