The NSW Government says it was inundated with requests for gyms to reopen, but fitness fanatics will likely have to find a new routine when their favourite facilities open next week.
She said her venue had space to accommodate clients without the need to share equipment and the entire premises would be vacated between classes so there's no crossover."It will mean we have [to] go backwards for quite some time with the amount of resourcing and overheads we have."
Among the changes, yoga students will need to bring their own mats, while studios that usually hold up to 24 reformer beds will be spaced out and thoroughly cleaned after use, even encroaching on other areas of the club. If you're looking to work out by yourself in a gym, the number of people allowed to exercise at any time will also be capped.
"Keeping fit is important however, NSW Health urges anyone feeling even the slightest bit unwell, not to visit the gym," a spokesperson said. "I'm sure they're all very excited to have heard the news — to then find out that they can't actually come back into the studio, we're going to have to announce that in a very gentle way because there's going to be lots of disappointed kids."
