A decision to exclude gyms and fitness centres from Queensland's vaccine mandate sparks concern among some gym goers and calls for classes just for the vaccinated.
"If we see members starting to get scared and we see people cancelling because they feel unsafe then [the gym would be] going back to classes outdoors, getting more fans, making trainers wear masks, more stringent hygiene et cetera, et cetera," he said.
"The one super frustrating thing is now we're seen as an essential service, and yet throughout the whole of COVID we were unessential and weren't allowed to open," Mr Tranter said."There's so many mixed messages and lack of education around why or what our plan is."Virologist at the University of Queensland, Associate Professor Kirsty Short, said the demand for vaccinated-only gym classes will depend on "what we see happening in the community".
