The new year is still just getting underway, which means people are either clinging to their resolutions or certain they\u2019re going to start \u201ctomorrow.\u201d Sadly, there is a significant group that gave up on tomorrow months ago. Our hope is that we can re-inspire them today.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what we know. According to a study by brand and consumer insight firm ClubIntel (The Member Journey in the Era of Covid-19), 21% of women say they no longer exercise. We 121% hate to see this. We\u2019re talking about an enthusiastic group that used to work out on a regular basis, but no longer experiences that endorphin rush, the energy that comes long after exercise, or being a part of the club\u2019s healthy community. We miss them as much as they miss their invigorating routine.<\/p>\n

Notice we haven\u2019t mentioned men. By comparison, men returned quicker after lockdown and feel their club is taking the necessary precautions. On the other hand, \u201cWomen are less confident across the board with respect to safety compliance and the virus.\u201d<\/p>\n

We understand how they can feel this way, so maybe the simple question is this: Are gyms safe?
\nThe answer is yes. Let us count the ways.<\/p>\n

The fact is we\u2019ve been able to remain open because we\u2019re doing this safely and together with the help of our incredible members. One step we have taken is to not only follow our industry\u2019s Active & Safe Commitment, but to go beyond that.<\/p>\n

When you look at it, our clubs define what the national and local health experts want. Only members and registered guests are allowed in, which addresses the ability to contact trace. Temperature checks are required at entry; we have the ability to limit attendees, and the space to keep them properly distanced; and we\u2019ve implemented safety and cleaning protocols that have been followed with surprising dedication.<\/p>\n

Combine that with our associates wearing proper personal protective equipment and we confidently state the club is the safest place you\u2019ll go all day.<\/p>\n

What we\u2019ve all learned over the past 11 months is that doctor after doctor, and health official after health official believes fitness is essential for physical and mental wellbeing. We can\u2019t wait to see the 21% come back and show them how we\u2019re fighting this fight right. Lean & Clean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
