Covid Specific Items

 

To reduce the spread of the virus

Participants will workout at 2m distance in all cases. Workout area will be marked out for each participant.  If we are able, teaching will be conducted outside.  Government ruling is upto 30 people outside, but we have chosen to keep classes to a maximum of 22 or in line with guidelines.   For community hall and schools we use class numbers will be based on hall size and social distancing needed.

All Community Halls & Schools are using a one way system, please make yourself aware of the entrances and exits.

Registers will be kept for each class to comply with the government’s track and trace system.  Everyone will be informed if a class participant contracts the virus.  Class participants are made aware if they feel unwell, new cough, high temperature or loss of taste not to attend classes.  We will be introducing the NHS/Government QR Scan codes on 24th September 2020

Participants are recommended to bring their own mat, head rest, water and hand sanitiser to classes.  If training kit is used in classes, you will use the same piece of equipment throughout the class to reduce cross contamination

Payments are recommended via BACS, Paypal or Pingit.  There will be a pot to pop exact funds into for classes

We will clean all workout area –  pinch points & toilets before classes, any areas where bags will be left (we suggest you bring a carrier back to pop on the floor to lay your bags on)

We will provide adequate ventilation in classes along with propping doors open to reduce cross contamination
