LIFT COVID PROTOCOL
We will be offering in studio personal training as well as our Virtual Personal Training services. Please note, We ask that you read our trainer/client expectations prior to your appointment. These expectations have been put in place to keep all of us safe and to respect everyone's health and well-being.
We want to keep you updated on what we are doing in the studio and what you can expect from us. Your health and wellness are always our number one priority, and with that in mind, we have responded with heightened cleaning and safety measures at our studio. We have taken the following precautions with our Master Trainers; Personal Training Program and LIFT Inner Circle:
Expectations of Your Master Trainer/Kinesiologist:
• All Master Trainers/Kinesiologists will wear a mask during your training session.
• Each trainer/ Kinesiologist will wash or sanitize their hands upon arrival for their shift and before and after each service they conduct.
• Upon your arrival your Trainer/Kinesiologist will have you verbally fill out a quick COVID-19 questionnaire (ex. have you experienced any flu like symptoms).
• For payment we will either be using your credit card that you currently have on file, we will also have new credit card forms that we can email to you prior to your session that you can bring in. We of course accept e-transfer as well.
• Commonly touched surfaces, such as light switches, door handles, will be wiped down regularly.
• Our Kinesiologists/Trainers will no longer be providing hands on adjustments.
