Thrive Health and Fitness

Little puppy Kiwi had his first day at Thrive last week. He'll be visiting from time to time. If you see he's in, feel free to ask us for an introduction. 😍

The team from Intrinsic Cleaning is in today doing the pre opening clean to set up for Monday, and we're laying out safety tape to help clients with social distancing.

Dear All,
We've missed you all deeply, but we have fantastic news! As of Monday June 22, Thrive Health & Fitness will be reopening.
Our objective remains your safety, so these are the measures we have undertaken to protect you:
1. We are contracting a cleaning service to do a detailed clean of the premises before we reopen.
2. Bathrooms will be sterilised multiple times per day using hospital grade UV-C sterilisation tools. UV-C sterilisation is typically used to sterilise operating theatres and clinics. This will occur before and after peak times, and each bathroom will be closed for 15 minutes during this process.
3. The whole premises will be sterilised (in sections) 3 times a week using the same UV-C processes. While this process is in use, access to the gym will be prohibited. These procedures are currently scheduled to occur 1.30pm-2.30pm, and 8pm-9pm
4. Hand sanitiser will be provided at the door and at multiple places throughout the gym.
5. Hospital grade disinfectant will be used on high usage equipment at least daily.
6. Disinfectant wipes will be available in 4 locations throughout the premises.
7. Only 20 people will be permitted on premises at any given time. Priority will be given to staff and clients who have a confirmed booking with a staff member. More information will be given in later posts to bring you up to date on this.
8. All clients will be required to sign in and out in order to comply with our obligations for contact tracing.
9. Clients must bring a towel and water bottle when they attend. If you don't bring one, we can supply one for purchase.
10. Strict social distancing will apply. Some equipment will remain unavailable to ensure this. Our staff will help you with this, but you are required to comply with any distancing directions they give.
11. The roller door will remain shut for the time being as this will make following the directions above easier.

Going for a walk is a good way to be active. My goal today was to photograph 20 different roses in 30 minutes. Here they are (minus the ones that didn't focus well).

Dear Members,
A quick update: All direct debits have been paused until further notice. This has taken quite a bit of work, so apologies if we've missed emails or texts.
At this stage we don't have any information on when we will be able to reopen for regular gym or group sessions.
Personal Training Sessions are still available either outside or via online virtual sessions via Zoom. Outside sessions do require warmer clothing, too.
Virtual Sessions are recommended for those who are self-isolating or who have higher risk levels. We will use part of the time to help you tailor your sessions to what items you have at home. You don't need specific exercise equipment.
We remain committed to your health and fitness, so please remember best practice right now, which includes social distancing, regular hand-washing and waiting in your car until your session is due to start.

Be careful out there today. Smoke conditions are such that intense exercise may be risky. Please be conscious that your exercise capacity will be lower even indoors and you may need to keep asthma or allergy medication close to hand.
