With the creation of a vaccine and a little luck, we may see the end of the pandemic on the horizon. As the end comes into sight, many businesses that have been forced to cease operations entirely, such as gyms, are anxious to reopen and welcome customers back inside. Before you do that, however, you should take a few steps to prepare your gym for reopening to ensure you and your customers remain safe and healthy.
Inspect Your Equipment
Since all your gym equipment has been left to sit for months on end, you should give each machine, tool, and accessory a thorough inspection to ensure there are no lingering damages or complications. Turn on the machines to make sure they’re all functioning as intended and all the software, if applicable, is up to date and adjusted as needed. After you’re sure that you do not need to replace anything, the next step is to sanitize and disinfect the equipment to eliminate dust, dirt, and grime, in addition to build-ups of bacteria and germs.
A Thorough Cleansing
The most important step to prepare your gym for reopening is to give your building a fresh cleansing now that higher standards of sanitation have become the new normal. Even when the pandemic ends, customers will still be mindful of taking precautions to avoid diseases. For the best results, you should invest in a commercial cleaning service that has the expertise and equipment to give your building a thorough cleaning. This will show your customers you have their well-being in mind and establish trust as society returns to normal.
Enforce Safety Guidelines
On the topic of returning customers still being under the quarantine mindset, it’s a good idea to implement some rules and policies that enforce cautious behavior, such as encouraging gym-goers to continue practicing social distancing and wearing a mask when they’re not at a machine or in the middle of a routine. Even as the pandemic winds down, the possibility that someone may still get sick will remain.
