Planet Fitness Safety Measures during the COVID-19 Pandemic
At Planet Fitness, the health and safety of our members and staff are our top priorities. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented a range of safety measures to ensure a clean and safe environment for everyone. Here are some of the key precautions we have put in place:
Enhanced Cleaning and Sanitization
We have significantly increased the frequency and intensity of our cleaning and sanitization procedures. Our staff members are trained to follow strict protocols to ensure all high-touch surfaces, equipment, and common areas are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected regularly. We use hospital-grade disinfectants that are effective against viruses, including COVID-19.
In addition to the regular cleaning schedule, we have also implemented a 24/7 sanitization policy. This means that our staff members are continuously cleaning and disinfecting throughout the day to maintain a clean and safe environment for everyone.
Social Distancing Measures
To promote social distancing, we have rearranged our equipment layout to ensure adequate spacing between machines and workout areas. We have also limited the capacity of our facilities to ensure that there is enough room for members to maintain a safe distance from each other.
We have placed floor markers and signage throughout our facilities to remind members to maintain a safe distance. These markers indicate the appropriate spacing in common areas, such as the entrance, locker rooms, and workout zones. We also encourage members to follow any specific guidelines or restrictions mandated by local health authorities.
Mask Policy
To further enhance the safety of our members and staff, we have implemented a mandatory mask policy. All individuals entering our facilities are required to wear a mask or face covering at all times, except when actively engaged in exercise and maintaining a safe distance from others.
We understand that wearing a mask during exercise may be challenging for some individuals. However, it is an essential measure to minimize the risk of transmission and protect the health of everyone in our fitness centers.
Health and Wellness Checks
Prior to entering our facilities, all members and staff are required to undergo a health and wellness check. This includes temperature screenings and a brief questionnaire to assess any potential symptoms or exposure to COVID-19. Individuals with symptoms or recent exposure are advised to stay home and seek medical guidance.
We also encourage members to practice good personal hygiene by washing hands frequently, using hand sanitizers provided throughout the facility, and covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or elbow.
Online Booking and Contactless Check-In
To minimize physical contact and ensure a smooth and efficient experience, we have introduced online booking and contactless check-in systems. Members can book their workout slots in advance through our website or mobile app, reducing the need for in-person interactions. Contactless check-in allows members to scan their unique barcode at the entrance, eliminating the need for physical membership cards or touch screens.
These measures are designed to prioritize the health and safety of our members and staff while providing a comfortable and enjoyable workout experience. We continuously monitor and update our protocols to align with the latest guidelines from health authorities and experts.
Planet Fitness is committed to creating a safe environment where individuals can pursue their fitness goals with confidence. We appreciate the cooperation and understanding of our members as we navigate through these challenging times together.
