Update: Covid-19

What we're doing to help stop the spread.

It is important for you all to know and understand the measures we are taking to continue in offering our service to clients during the outbreak of Covid-19. These measures are in line with the guidance provided by Active Ireland & The HSE.

As we are a small, private facility, that operates by appointment only, we will be taking the following measures to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of our customers, and our 3-man team.

For the trainer:

• Trainers will be required to wash their hands in warm water & antibacterial soap before and after each appointment.
• Windows will remain open to allow for improved ventilation.
• Trainers will coach from a distance, in line with the WHO guidelines. This basically means no spotting for certain exercises and no assisted stretching at the end of your workout.
• All equipment used during the session will be sprayed with antibacterial / antivirus solution, and wiped down.

Changes to our group training:

• We are restructuring our small groups to provide more room per client, and to avoid the sharing of equipment during a session. This means no more than 4 clients training at once, and a slight adjustment to training times.
• To improve ventilation, all windows will remain open during the session.
• All equipment used during the session will be sprayed with antibacterial / antivirus solution, and wiped down.

For our clients:

• We ask all clients to please wash your hands in warm water & antibacterial soap before the session(provided in the gym). Alternatively you can clean your hands with hand sanitizer.
• Most importantly, we ask all clients to follow all HSE recommendations pertaining to Covid-19. If you are exhibiting symptoms, have been in direct contact with a confirmed case, or have returned home from any infected area, please avoid training for the recommended 2 x week period.
• Please respect these measures as they are put in place for your own health & safety, as well as our team.

If you've any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact ciaran@ciaranfoy.comor 0876369807.

Philip, Cathal and I thank you all for your co-operation during this period, and we all look forward to ploughing on with your training to help you achieve your goals.

PS, There may be punishment in the form of burpees for any mention of the “C” word from here on in!

Stay safe and healthy everyone.
