The New Gym Protocol

COVID-19 Reopening Guidelines at Blended Athletics

(PHASE 1)

We are so excited to welcome you all back! We have used this time to improve and change many things. Our priority was to make changes that maintained or improved member experience while ensuring the safety and enjoyment of members and coaches.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT PHYSICAL DISTANCING IS REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES (minimum 6ft apart) NO high-fives, NO handshaking, NO hugging etc. from arrival until departure and will be enforced. Failure to observe physical distancing risks the closure of the facility, and as such, you will be asked to leave the premises.

Blended Athletics is launching a multi phase re-opening plan in order to ensure that our new

protocols, systems and training are optimized in a controlled manner. Phase 1 which will begin Saturday June 6th will include unlimited members and personal training clients ONLY. Punch cards and drop in’s will NOT be permitted to register for session time slots throughout phase 1 of the Blended reopening plan. This will keep our exposure rate lower and provide us the needed time to yet again ensure that our new procedures and processes are working. We realize this is not going to make everyone happy but please understand that we are doing everything we can to ensure we are able to operate a facility under the current conditions. Memberships that were cancelled or placed on hold will be able to restart on Monday, again providing us time to test our new processes/procedures. If you cancelled or put your membership on hold please contact Kimberley (kimberley@blendedathletics.com) so we can get you set back up on Zenplanner. Based on our success we will move into phase 2 when appropriate. If you currently have a punch card but would like to move into an unlimited membership we will credit your remaining sessions towards your 1st months membership and allow you to begin training Monday June 8th.

Below you will find the new procedures.

Booking Classes (MANDATORY):

• EVERYONE has a new digital waiver and procedures document on their Zenplanner account. Both of these documents must be read and signed digitally before registering for classes or entering Blended. This will not be available to sign at the gym!

• All sessions must be booked through Zenplanner a minimum of 30 minutes before session time (Session= Ground Zero/Loft/Open Gym). If you are not registered you will not be permitted to enter the facility

• NEW 3hr session cancelation policy. Due to the social distancing protocols our class capacities will be reduced, reducing the number of people we can service per day. Therefore moving forward if you no-show a class you will be charged a $20 no-show fee automatically to your account. (You will be checked into sessions by a coach)

Entering Facility:

• Access to the facility will only be granted 15 minutes prior to your session time. (i.e. 6am class= 5:45am-6am arrival)

• Upon arrival, enter the facility one person at a time while maintaining social distancing protocols (2m). You will enter through the set of doors under the Blended Athletics sign only.

• Entrance to the facility is not permitted to clients or staff if they are exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19. Please see the screening sign at the front door.

• Upon entrance to the facility we may take temperature readings. If you decline to have your temperature read or if your temperature exceeds 100.4 you will not be permitted access to the facility.

• We recommend wearing your gym shoes into the facility at this time. If you don’t, immediately change into your gym shoes, put your outdoor shoes into your gym bag and step into the disinfecting mat located at the entrance to the lobby to disinfect your gym shoes.

• Please reduce the amount of belonging you bring into the facility. You will be required to take all your belongings to your designated workout space.

• We have conveniently installed a sink in the lobby to wash your hands so before moving throughout the facility wash your hands.

Preparing for your session:

• You will receive your own sanitized spray bottle and cloth for cleaning equipment before/after use.

• Your training space will be outlined in white tape. The red tape represents walking areas.

• The front stairs will be used solely to go upstairs

• The back stairs will now be used to return to main floor where you will follow the red tape back to the lobby.

• Upon completing your session you will have 15 minutes to exit the building which will be done through the doors closest to the stairwell (not the same door you entered).

Other Notes:

• Chalk will not be available to the community during this time but you are welcome to bring your own for personal use. We ask that you use chalk for only necessary movements, avoid using chalk for workouts that require you to touch the floor to help us keep the facility clean for the next class/session. (We do not have the ability to sell chalk and if you do bring chalk we ask you keep it in a tupperware/enclosed container).

• In open gym, the clock will not be available for use so please download a timer for your phone (We recommend the “Smart WOD” app)

• Hand sanitizer stations will be available throughout the facility

• Floors will be washed regularly

• Fogging equipment will be done regularly

• Towel service including sweat towels will not be provided at this time so bring your own.

• Fountains will be closed for drinking but can be used as filling stations for water bottles

• We encourage you to bring a yoga mat for all ground exercises.

• We encourage you to come dressed and ready to train if possible to reduce exposure in common areas.

• Please do not leave any personal belongings at the facility, everything must be taken home.

• Showers are available but it was stated in the government guidelines for us to restrict use as much as possible so please only use showers if necessary. (Note: If you shower you will need your own towel, soap/shampoo and you are not allowed to use a hairdryer in the facility).

• No children are permitted at the facility at this time

• Face masks are not required but you are welcome to wear them, even if that may just be in our common areas before/after your workout.

Please note that we are still working on ensuring the safest possible experience while training at Blended and while we are still learning how to operate within the new policies we may have to add things to this list in the coming days/weeks. We also hope to be able to progress onto

Phase 2 (allowing punch card users access to classes) soon but do not have a timeline for this as we speak. If you require more then 60 minutes to complete your programming and weather permits it, we encourage you to do any necessary warm-up preparations at the end of the parking lot before entering the facility for your session.
