Is Coronavirus affecting Gyms and Fitness Studios?
Studio Lagree Uk

Studio Lagree Uk

As a fitness instructor I believe Coronavirus is having an affect on fitness enthusiasts, especially in larger gym environments, where hundreds of clients are passing through daily,sanitizing every machine, and door handle would be hard to keep up with, after every single human contact.

The secretion of sweaty hands and bodies, on gym equipment, just cannot be avoided, if staff and members, wipe down machines with sanitizing wipes, we should not have a problem.

If using communal showers after your workout, refrain from shaving your bits and bobs and use the toilet if you need to pee as we certainly do not want contact with other bodily fluids, increasing additional risks to infection.

Attending smaller studios with limited people in a class, lowers the risk even more, as it is easier to manage the hygiene process. I teach at Studio Lagree, with 16 Megaformers, which are sanitized by each client after every class, so the risk is very low.

Remember health is your priority, so you certainly do not want to let your fitness level drop, during this outbreak. If you are feeling unwell, stay home.

Basic protective measures against the new coronavirus

Stay aware of the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak, available on the WHO website and through your national and local public health authority. COVID-19 is still affecting mostly people in China with some outbreaks in other countries. Most people who become infected experience mild illness and recover, but it can be more severe for others. Take care of your health and protect others by doing the following:

Wash your hands frequently

Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash with soap and water.

Why? Helps kill viruses that may be on your han

Maintain social distancing

Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.

Why? Spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus

Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth

Why? Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. The virus can enter your body and can make you sick

Practice respiratory hygiene

Cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Dispose used tissue.

Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19

If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early

Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention.

Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your area.

Beach Clean ups

Beach Clean ups

Researchers estimate that approximately 5 to 13 million tons of plastic end up in the oceans every year. Most of it eventually sinks to the ocean floor and never makes it onto the beaches

If you see plastic, pick it up.

RECYCLE FITNESS CLOTHING โ™ป๏ธ
We are delighted to partner with @moveyourframe as we start our Re-Fit Campaign to recycle fitness gear. 85% of waste goes to #landfills and clothing occupies about 5% of landfill space

Landfill space is expensive and hard to find. Water and energy are used to manufacture clothing, throwing your fitness gear out is a shameful waste. Fresh water is a dwindling resource and energy use contributes to global warming, the biggest #environmental problem of our times.
