CORONAVIRUS GYM UPDATE

Hello again everyone,

If you’ve been paying attention, LOTS of businesses in Nashville, the United States, and Worldwide are closing in the interim due to the Coronavirus.

We are not there yet.

BUT: I am going to enact some temporary changes to do our part in slowing the COVID-19 pandemic.

Keep in mind that these are truly temporary and that I will be quick to change them back to normal ASAP.

STARTING TUESDAY, MARCH 17
12 PERSON CAP IN EACH CLASS
We often are in scenarios where we share equipment, and are unable to clean and wipe down each and every time the next person uses it. This will help fix that dilemma.
STARTING TUESDAY, WE WILL BE ADDING A 9 AM CLASS TO THE SCHEDULE

NO MORE COMMUNAL CHALK
There is no reasonable way to clean the chalk blocks. Instead, if you want it, I will break off a piece of a new block and give it to you in a zip lock baggie. If you get pulled over and the officer asks to search you, do your best to not let that happen. White block/powder in a baggie is not a good look.

NO MORE COMMUNAL MARKERS
This is another item that is difficult to clean throughout the day. Please use your phones for this.

NO MORE RECORDING YOUR SCORES AT THE PUBLIC KEYBOARD
Another thing you can use your phones to do.

REMINDERS AND THINGS WE ENCOURAGE YOU DO:
1) Wash your hands before coming to the gym
2) Wash your hands when you get to the gym
3) Wipe down every piece of equipment BEFORE and AFTER each use.
4) BRING YOUR OWN TOWELS. This would be helpful for us, and more sanitary for you.
5) If school is canceled, please do not bring your children. Saturday you can bring your kids, but unfortunately not during the week.

Thank you for your role in helping humanity out, and please reach out if you need anything.
