Gym owners need to be ready to open as soon as they get the green light from their state. If you hesitate and wait, your clients will find another place that is open. Clients are ready to go back to the gym. In our case, we have our schedule packed and some clients are on the waiting list. Get your gym ready with the cleaning and sanitizing, and all you have to do so that as soon as you are allowed to open, you are not caught sleeping.

There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t be ready. You had several weeks to prepare for reopening. Your clients are waiting for you to reopen the gym. The trend across all gyms that have reopened is that clients are trooping back in. 

Figuring how to keep clients safe with your team is not a difficult thing to do. As a gym owner, you are smart and should figure this out pretty quickly. You should not buy anything that is being marketed to you as a golden ticket on how to reopen your gym. Save that money.  

For states that are yet to reopen, gym owners can be advocates for the health and fitness industry by writing emails and calling their local authorities. Let them know what you are doing and how you plan to keep your clients safe.
