It’s been a few weeks since, as the clubs went back to work, albeit with some restrictions. Did the coaches and clients to adapt to new realities, says commentator of the Moscow 24, a fitness trainer and broadcaster Edward Kanevsky.
On 23 June all fans of a healthy lifestyle and those who just like to occasionally "to drive" blood in training, expecting good news. First, allowed to engage in street workout platforms and simulators. But, most importantly, opened all the capital’s fitness clubs.
By the way, on the grounds already overcrowded, which in particular contributes to the excellent weather. After all, to engage in the fresh air more pleasant and healthier.
But let’s see how it is now a fitness clubs and they will close it immediately after opening. That in itself is not yet open for the club’s salvation in a situation when the income is minimal. Let me remind you: all trainers must be at least five feet from each other. And if the cardio is to arrange the equipment is thus fairly simple, with power equipment problems.
Any fitness design is not only the bench or the chair on which is sitting the customer. The dimensions of the equipment can be more compact car. Rearrange them difficult, and often pointless – as between work areas where clients are located, a distance of about 2-3 meters.
But in the end came the following: in many Metropolitan clubs – I saw it – where it was not possible to place equipment at a proper distance, a portion of the equipment had to wrap the red flight that they were never engaged. It looks weird, and uncomfortable.
Everywhere there were social marking, including in the locker room: there is now impossible to get the key from the adjacent lockers. There are restrictions on the use of the sauna, pool and group lessons. Moreover, now in the club you can’t drink the good old protein shake after a workout or energy drink before class. Along with them came under the ban coffee, tea and other beverages.
And something else: the passage to the hall is possible only in a medical mask and gloves, and each client must order and check the temperature.
To call such terms the more comfortable and familiar does not work. For this reason, the lion’s share of customers has thus far refused to attend classes in the hall, waiting, when I shall take all of the above limitations.
Moreover, summer is the holiday period. After removing almost all the restrictions people gradually reached the sea favorite in Krasnodar region and Republic of Crimea. And so it was a double blow to the industry. On the one hand, all been waiting for the opening of the halls and were ready, practically in my pajamas to run to class. The other change in the normal rhythm of life, restrictions in the clubs and fear of Contracting the workout prevent a large flow of customers.
One more thing. Relevant in a period of quarantine of online training is still in high demand. Many bought part in the so-called online-marathons: it is unlikely that people will return to club before their closure. So share advice. If you want to buy a subscription to a fitness club, be sure to ask the Manager how they are doing, read the reviews on the Internet. Another option is to choose someone from the big network players or personal activities that do not need to buy a subscription, and only pay for the training.
