• Sanitising equipment  will be available for customer use for touch points.

Gym Floors

• Only equipment that is 2m apart will be used – as an example this can either be done via moving equipment or marking every other piece of equipment in the gym out of order (to facilitate social distancing).

• Touch points of equipment should be cleaned after use – this can be done either by the customer or staff using spray and cloths provided. This is in addition to the cleaning schedule.

• Extra signage regarding social distancing will be in place around the free-weights area.
