EōS coVID-19 PREVENTION PLAN

EōS is dedicated to the health and wellness of our members and employees.

 

We are continuing to monitor the spread of the coVID-19 and following the guidance of the CDC. EōS is taking the following proactive preventative measures:

 

GENERAL GYM:

  • Alcohol-based hand sanitizer is in very high global demand. We are doing everything that we can to ensure that the hand sanitation stations throughout the gym are stocked. If you come across an empty sanitation dispenser in the gym, please proceed to the locker room to wash your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds. As per the CDC, hand sanitizer should only be used if soap and water are not readily available.
  • Additional equipment sanitation spray bottles throughout the gym.
  • EōS Team Members’ assistance, including increasing daily Team Cleans by 200% and all Team Members wiping down equipment and rooms (e.g. G-Fit, Cycle, Cinema, Locker Rooms, etc.)throughout the day and night.
  • Protexus sanitation spraying utilizing PURTABS sanitation solution several times weekly throughout the gym in high traffic areas, including all rooms.

G-FIT:

  • LIMITING CLASS SIZES: We are limiting the maximum attendance in all group classes so members have more room to spread out. A sign will be posted at the door when a class reaches max capacity.
  • CYCLING: Cycle class size is being cut in half. Please leave every other bike unoccupied to help create space between members.
  • CLASS TYPES: We will be pausing all circuit classes where equipment is shared.
  • ELIMINATE CONTACT: High fives, hand shakes and corrective technique adjustments, etc. will cease.
  • CLASS TICKETS: Paper class tickets will be placed in a bucket or on a spindle, instead of being handed to Instructors.
  • SCRUB A DUB COOLDOWNS: The last 5 minutes of each class will be spent stretching and wiping down your equipment.
  • INSTRUCTOR CLEANING: Instructors will be cleaning the floor in between classes.

KIDS’ CLUB:

MID-DAY:

  • Protexus sanitation spraying utilizing PURTABS sanitation solution on all highly touched toys, chairs, tables, food services, changing tables, etc. Usage of these items/areas will be restricted for 10-15 minutes after being sprayed.
  • Wipe downs of all counter tops & heavily trafficked areas with SOLSTA 210 non-toxic NEUTRAL CLEANER

CLOSING:

  • Protexus sanitiation spraying utilizing PurTabs sanitation solution on all highly touched toys, chairs, tables, food services, changing tables, front desk, restrooms, toilets, etc.
  • Wipe surfaces including mirrors, door frames, hand rails and desks with dust sheets to remove debris.
  • Wipe downs of all counter tops & heavily trafficked areas with SOLSTA 210 non-toxic NEUTRAL CLEANER

 

Protexus Electrostatic Sprayers deliver EPA registered, hospital-grade disinfectants and sanitizers into a fine plume of charged particles that envelops surfaces. The electrostatic charge allows coverage of hard to reach places and around every curved surface to provide a blanket of sanitation of every possible touch point.

coVID-19 PREVENTION TIPS at the gym

  • Best tip: Just stay home when you are sick and don’t go to the gym. Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
    EōS Pro Tip: Superset with hand washing.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. If you superset with hand washing, this should help for when you have that itch on your face that needs immediate scratching.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Better yet, don’t hit EōS when you are sick.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. There are spray bottles and paper towel stations conveniently located all over the gym.
