Instructions for use of Gym during Phase 3

1. Medical self assessment. Members should not attend the gym if: (a) you have had a fever > 100.4°F in the last 48 hours, (b) you have been in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19, (c) you are experiencing a cough, shortness of breath, or sore throat (d) you have had new loss of taste or smell or (e) you had vomiting or diarrhea in the last 24 hours;
2. All members must wear a face mask at all times while in the gym;
3. Consider bringing your own disinfectant wipes to handle the exterior door knob when initially accessing the building. Everyone has to touch that knob so it is a known high risk object;
4. Wear clean workout clothes and shoes. (outside shoes are not permitted. Have a pair solely for the gym);
5. Disinfect machines and equipment before and after use using the single use disinfectant wipes provided in the chrome bins. Consider using appropriate gloves on small equipment such as dumbbells.
6. The Disinfectant spray bottles will be available, but the common use cloths will not. Use a paper towel from the bathroom with the spray bottles and dispose of the towel after use;
7. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (or use alcohol/ disinfectant sanitizers) on entering the building, at regular intervals, and after using equipment. Use a paper towel to turn off the tap on the sink and to open the bathroom door and then dispose of the paper towel;
8. Be respectful of all other people in the facility and keep a 2m/6ft physical distance. Be especially vigilant with our senior members to keep them safe;
9. If it is necessary to cough or sneeze do so into a clean tissue which is safely discarded, or into your elbow;
10. Bring your own pre-filled drinks/water bottles. (For now the vending machine will remain off as the Government wants us to try to go with open windows and fresh air. That may not be tolerable in which case the a/c units will go on);
11. Use of the common lockers is not permitted at this time. If you do not have a personal locker you may rent one of the private metal lockers for $30 for the remainder of 2020. The rental price will include a lock provided by the gym that should be returned to the gym at the end of the rental period.
12. Use of the Showers is not permitted at this time.
