[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I belong to a pilates studio which stayed open until the bitter end...not classified as a "gym" so they got to stay open as a "retail establishment."  It infuriated me because I thought it was very irresponsible of them to expose people like that.  And with reformer equipment, you are touching all sorts of props and various parts of the reformer, which need to be wiped down after each class.  Normally, clients wipe down the mat and the foot bar of the reformer, but in reality, you cannot sanitize a reformer between classes because of the straps.  Also, clients are constantly touching the springs and other parts of the reformer too, which also need sanitizing between classes, but this was not happening.  I am not sure what I will do when this studio reopens.  I really enjoy the classes, but I don't feel confident that I will be safe in the environment until the virus is eliminated and there is a vaccine.  [/quote]

I do too - they tried hard to make sure folks washed their hands etc, but there are just so many touch points - and let's be honest, they aren't using bleach or Clorox wipes for the wipe downs - it's usually just some nice smelling spray. The good news is that if your hand touches the virus, you don't automatically catch it - so keeping your hands off your face will really help. Also, the newer data suggests that the virus spreads via aerosolized drops and not via hands touching things b/c it's too fragile for it.  I think you could wear gloves like you wear socks and that might help. Also, just ensuring the studio isn't super crowded would also be good. It's a tough one - I feel for all of the gyms out there . I did see gyms open during phase 1.[/quote]
