COVID-19 studio safety policies
COVID-19 safety guidelines & procedures
for our clients & guests:
As we continue to navigate the unknowns and rise in numbers of COVID 19 and the more contagious Omicron variant, we believe it is our responsibility to update our current studio s policy to stay current with this ever evolving landscape.
The safety and well-being of you, our studio s family, is always top of mind and our primary goal is to provide you with a safe place to practice movement that is good for your body, headspace and spirit.
Beginning 1/5/22 expect to see the following updates to our existing protocols:
-All staff will be asked to wear masks, regardless of vaccine status, during classes/appointments/private sessions.
-It is strongly encouraged that all vaccinated clients, members & guests consider wearing a mask before, during and after sessions. Anyone unvaccinated is still required to wear a mask. We will be contact tracing masked vs. unmasked individuals in sessions to manage our updated quarantine policy should an exposure happen within the studio.
-If there is an un-masked COVID exposure within the studio, anyone who is NOT wearing a mask will be required to be quarantined out of the studio for 5 days OR show proof of a negative COVID test.
-Anyone who IS wearing a mask during an un-masked COVID exposure WILL NOT have to quarantine or show proof of a negative COVID test.
-Anyone who suspects they may have come into contact with COVID-19 (even if you are asymptomatic) is asked to inform studio staff immediately so that we may check our visit history to inform any additional staff or guests of possible exposure. It is strongly suggested to seek a rapid test and/or medical attention at that time.
BEFORE COMING TO THE STUDIO
-Assess your current wellness. Please do not attend a class if you are exhibiting symptoms of ANY illness, potentially communicable disease or you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19. This is for the safety and wellbeing of you, our clients, our staff and the future of our studio.
-For the foreseeable future, we will have no more than ten people in any class format to ensure a safe amount of distance from client-to-client. Trainers are required to book private appointments in our system 24 hours in advance, to allow for adequate spacing. Classes and self-service appointments are staggered as much as possible to ensure proper cleaning and client transitioning.
WHEN ARRIVING
-We strongly encourage masks be worn in the studio at all times. We have many members of our community who continue to be immunocompromised or at higher risk for infection. We are trusting our community to be respectful of these people and policies.
-Prior to starting your training session, place any personal items in a secure locker or stow in a cubby. Personal items (except mat, towel and water) will not be allowed on the training floors.
WHILE AT THE STUDIO
-Please maintain a respectful distance whenever possible and while transitioning in and out of sessions.
-While staff will be in charge of disinfecting used equipment and used areas after each class, we will also be asking clients to sanitize their machines after use to ensure all equipment is thoroughly cleaned
-Wipes and hand sanitizer are readily available for client use.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS/POLICIES
-High-touch areas, equipment and restrooms are cleaned continually throughout the day.
-We perform a deep cleaning of all areas at the close of each studio day.
-Our cancellation policies are as follows: group equipment (Pilates Reformer, S60, S45 Core, TREAD, Recovery Flow) and self-service appointments (12 hours notice) and private sessions (24 hours notice) to avoid being late canceled/session charged.
-Payments for classes and self-service sessions must be done electronically on MBO or arranged with a staff member. We encourage touchless payment whenever possible.
COVID19 Safety Protocol
-For the safety and wellbeing of our staff, members, clients & guests, our studio policy requires anyone who has exhibited symptoms, tested positive for Covid-19 and/or anyone with a positive case in their household— even if they are asymptomatic, quarantine for a minimum of 5 days. No exceptions.
-If you have been out of the country, we ask that you wait 5 days before returning to your studio sessions.
-Anyone who suspects they may have come into contact with COVID-19 (even if you are asymptomatic) is asked to inform studio staff immediately so that we may check our visit history to inform any additional staff or guests of possible exposure. It is strongly suggested to seek a rapid test and/or medical attention at that time.
