The New Year is a great time to refocus on health and wellness, and physical fitness is an important part of that. The assistant director of New Hanover County Public Health, David Howard, shared the following statement with WECT regarding going to the gym during the pandemic. Both take various precautions and have protocols in place to keep clients safe: hand sanitizing stations, air circulation, mask mandates, deep cleans, sanitizing weights/equipment, occupancy limits, and social distancing. “We work together, really, to share information and help show that many fitness facilities in North Carolina have the same mission and take responsibility and will do the right thing.”Ĭunius and Behrends say there has not been any coronavirus outbreaks or clusters at their gyms. “We work together because we realized we needed to amplify our voices versus single operations,” said Cunius. The alliance group, comprising several gyms, reached out to Governor Roy Cooper and the state health department with data and information about why gyms can open and run safely.
I would have to say that the gyms are not where getting to.”Ĭunius has been heavily involved in Fitness Operators for Responsible Reopening (FORR). “With everything that we have been doing, all of this, the processes that we have in place, and we feel absolutely comfortable being in here and a lot of our members feel comfortable that way as well. “We have not had a single COVID case here at our gym and we have been able to just deter that for sure,” said Behrends. Both gyms have been operating under a limited capacity for several months and say there haven’t been issues so far.
