COVID-19 Safety Information.
What are we doing to keep you safe at U7? Read below and see the extensive procedures that we have implemented to ensure you continue to train safely whilst with us.
Your Health and Wellbeing is Our #1 Priority.
It has never been more important than now for people to be physically and mentally fit. We view this as our duty to be able to provide you all with a gym that is not only well-equipped, but also safe, secure and operating fully within all Government guidance.
Since our reopening in July, we have changed the gym layout so that there is an increased spacing between equipment to meet social distancing guidance. We have introduced several cleaning, hygiene, and social distancing measures to help keep you safe. We have also worked closely with Devon County Council to ensure that the procedures and measures we have implemented, meet the standards required to allow our members to train at ease knowing they are in a Covid-Secure environment.
Take a look below to see some of the measures that we are now implementing.
MAINTAIN A SAFE DISTANCE
We have moved all of the equipment around so that it is all safely distanced apart, following social distancing guidelines. We have also laid out markers all over the floor to gently remind you to maintain your distancing whilst training inside U7. Don't worry, the gym won’t get too busy! We have a capacity limit which we will never go over to keep everyone safe.
EXTENSIVE AND FREQUENT CLEANING
U7 is cleaned thoroughly throughout the day by members of staff. We have hourly cleaning checks to complete in the changing rooms and toilets, as well as continual procedures to complete on the gym floor. We use high-grade anti-viral disinfectant when performing our cleaning duties to make sure that every surface we clean is left safe.
CLEANING STATIONS
We have provided a number of cleaning stations throughout the gym so that you are able to spray and wipe down your equipment, and sanitise your hands after placing the equipment back once you have finished with it. Your help in using these stations further improves the cleanliness of the gym so you can train safely in confidence.
HAND SANITISING STATIONS
You will find hand sanitiser at every door and cleaning station throughout the gym. As the Government continue to promote the importance of hand cleanliness, we decided to get as many of these up as possible. We ask that you sanitise your hands on arrival, during your gym session, and before you leave.
BOOKING AND CONTACTLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
Using our members app, FitSense, you are able to book your sessions prior to arrival to reserve your space. You can book up to 6 x 30 minute slots per day- that’s 3 hours of training if you want! You can also use the app to check-in via a contactless QR code, and see how busy the gym is at anytime.
NO SPOTTING
To ensure maximum safety of all of our members, whilst on-site at U7 we are operating a ‘no-spotting’ policy. Whether you are training with someone inside your ‘bubble’ or not, to keep everyone at ease and feeling safe, there shall be no spotting for the time-being!
Working Together to Stay Safe.
We want to thank everyone for the commitment and resolve you have all shown by playing your
part in keeping U7 GYM a safe environment for everybody to work and train in.
