Safe Gym Reopening During COVID
Safe Gym Reopening During COVID
Why this petition matters
Due to the circumstances caused by this pandemic; lives have been impacted heavily. As we try to return to normalcy or whatever our new normalcy may be; we have to adapt and grow both quickly and creatively.
With that being said, HoopRun is introducing a plan to re-initiate gyms into post-pandemic lifestyles.
By adopting the safety precautions outlined and introducing some new ideas we intend to create the safest environment possible to continue physical activity at participating facilities. HoopRun is a mobile software that will also help limit contact by allow online booking.
Similar to NYC and PHI. Gyms have began opening with safety precautions implemented. We have even visited the cities that are currently open to [i.e Dallas, TX] to experience some of the precautions they have implemented first hand. After review we believe the outlined information below creates the safest possible road to re-initiation.
This is a plan to create the safest possible environment. Although we cannot verify everyone is taking the appropriate steps in their everyday lives, this is the best way to limit spread while returning to active group gym participation. As I am sure you are aware there are some gyms in defiance of the stay closed order. With this in place we can at least try to make sure these environments are safe.
