Team Shredded Fitness Club is reopening soon. Kindly Follow these 7 rules to keep yourself safe at the gym during coronavirus to keep yourself (and your loved ones) safe from COVID-19:

To avoid rushing through the gym door at the last minute (and running into people) make sure that you show up to your gym class at the allotted time and do not hover at the entrance. If you see a beeline, it is advisable to wait in your car or somewhere at distance. This will ensure that you don’t run into people who are heading for the gym at their scheduled time.

No more reaching out to disposable cups at the watercooler at the gym, instead, carry your own water bottle. Come prepared for a workout session from your home only as lockers and changing rooms are most likely to be closed to avoid contraction of infection. You may also need to carry your own yoga mat for stretching.

If you are not wearing hand gloves while handling the gymming equipment, make sure to sanitize your hands after every use and do not touch your face. Carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer with you for this purpose.
𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐠𝐲𝐦 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭
This will ensure two things, one you will not pick up germs and bacteria from the workout equipment and it also prevents you from accidentally touching your face. You can also consider wearing arm sweatbands to stop the sweat from trickling down your face.

If you are feeling sick, it is strongly advised to stay at home to keep others safe. Get in touch with your health care provider if you develop a nagging cough, fever or a new loss of smell and taste.

Yes, the golden rule of social distancing is still applicable while you sweat it out at the gym. Remember, the pandemic is still looming large, so ensure a distance of at least 6 feet from others, at all times.

While it may seem like an ideal thing to do while working out in a public place, a lot of experts maintain that wearing a mask while walking, jogging or even during a strenuous workout, in this case, will act as a barrier to airflow and increases your heart rate quickly. You may tire out quickly, have a hard time catching your breath and may experience dizziness or light-headedness. Always speak to your medical care provider before wearing a mask while working out in a gym.
