Reopening Phases
As we plan to re-open our Cambridge Facilities, we want to assure you that, at VIM Fitness, we’re taking the necessary precautionary measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
To that end, here is a list of measures that we will be taking:
- Nightly deep cleaning procedures with hospital grade disinfectants by a professional cleaning company
- All high-traffic surfaces will be disinfected frequently during operating hours. This will include the use of an electrostatic disinfectant sprayer.
- Added cleaning schedules throughout the day with hospital grade disinfectants.
- Locker rooms will be monitored every hour.
- Added hand sanitizer stations and disinfectant wipe stations at both of our locations.
- Installations of sneeze guard plexiglass partitions at the front desks of both locations
- Mandatory use of face mask by all staff members until further notice.
- Mandatory Temperature Checks daily of all Staff Members prior to their work shift until further notice.
- All Members will have their temperature checked prior to entering (Temp above 100.0 will not be allowed in) and are required to wear a face covering except where unsafe due to a medical condition or strenuous fitness activity. (14 ft must be adhered to absent face covering during strenuous activity)
- Fitness Equipment will be spaced or roped off where possible to create social distancing.
- Team members will follow CDC guidelines to wash hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, avoid touching the face, and maintain a safe social distance from other people.
We’re dedicated to protecting against the coronavirus, while remaining a place that our Fitness community can feel welcome and safe. Although we are confident in these preventive measures, starting on the allowed re-opening date, we are making some additional adjustments at both of our locations. We have created a phased approach to our adjustments.
