The resumption of one trillion Wade in the head fitness club has brought a glimmer of dawn to the industry as soon as possible.
One trillion Wade announced in the early morning of March 2nd that it will open an appointment system for 10 stores in Shanghai today. The restrictive requirements for returning to the gym are:
■ Only open: equipment area, power area, dressing area, negotiation area and office area
Temporarily closed: swimming pool, group exercise course, shower, sauna, SPA, fruit bar, various courses, etc.
■ Admission exercise is “reservation-based”, and you need to enter the store on time. You can make an appointment for 100 people every 90 minutes. The maximum length of training for each person is 90 minutes. The store may not be accessible.
■ Masks are required to be worn all the way after admission. In special periods, the central air-conditioning of the club is disabled and the new exhaust system is used. Members need to pay attention to controlling the training intensity and keeping warm.
Also today, we are seeing the opening of studios including Warcraft Fitness and 24KiCK. It looks like part of the gym has resumed work.
At the policy level, the Sports Bureau and other departments have no new documents for the time being, which clearly stipulates that no return to work is allowed. So there are also the first batch of stores to resume work.
In the resumption measures issued by One trillion Wade, the training venue is restricted: only the equipment area,Measuring areas, etc., closed high-risk areas such as swimming pools, group exercise classes, showers and other crowded areas.
At the same time, admission is reserved by appointment, and 100 people can be reserved every 90 minutes to control the number of attendees.
In addition to the passive protection of pedestrian flow restrictions, there are also a series of proactive measures to reduce the probability of exposure to viruses.
For example, members whose temperature is higher than 37.2 degrees and non-green members with the application code are not allowed to enter. In addition, you will need to wear a mask all the way after admission. During special periods, the central air-conditioning of the club is deactivated and a new exhaust system is used.
However, under the combined effects of traffic and confined spaces, the gym still faces a severe test of epidemic prevention after opening.

Although it includes the Sports Bureau and other departments, for the time being, no targeted resumption of epidemic prevention measures has been issued for indoor stadiums. However, relatively fixed epidemic prevention and disinfection and personnel testing have become the necessary active epidemic prevention projects for already opened gyms.
Among them, avoiding the hidden dangers of alcohol disinfection, paying attention to the screening of gym users, and the procurement of epidemic prevention tools are actually the “first test” of many gyms.
For example, the flammable hidden danger of 75% alcohol disinfectant has been emphasized many times during the entire epidemic period, and the equipment such as treadmills and elliptical machines in the gym that are powered on and easy to generate static electricity are definitely not suitable for alcohol disinfectants.

Similarly, the procurement of epidemic detection equipment represented by forehead guns is undoubtedly the preparatory materials before the opening of large chain fitness stores. butYes, according to the interview report by Leifeng.com, the two core components of the sensor and MCU make the forehead gun in short supply, and the shortage will continue to be relieved in the middle and late March.
It is also the “first test”-there is no omission of the user’s epidemic prevention testing, and avoiding potential cross-infection when queuing temperature, signing in, and scanning the code when entering the venue on time is also the key to epidemic prevention, and even said, It should also take into account the probability of membership cooperation and the efficiency of the staff’s naked eye.
In addition to some routine epidemic prevention items, there are also anti-epidemic measures aimed at the characteristics of closed gyms.
The “jet jet”, represented by abdominal breathing during strength training, can be compared with a droplet spreading distance of 1-2 meters when sneezing.
And at the routine outbreak prevention and control conference on February 3, “It can survive for several hours on a smooth surface, and can survive for several days at a temperature of 20 ° C and a humidity of 40% to 50%.” Indicated virus survival conditions.
Correspondingly, you must wear a mask during exercise to become an admission rule for more gym members during the epidemic.
However, when wearing a mask during heavy training, it is difficult to breathe, and after breathing the moisture to wet the medical mask, it is easy to produce suffocation and other risk factors. Also, the adsorption of fine particles will be reduced.
So, emphasizing the distance between members and even reminding to reduce the training intensity may be a special task of the gym during the epidemic.
For example, shutting down large aerobic devices at intervals, or temporarily removing some of the anaerobic area devices, is a desirable solution. After high-intensity training, the immunity drops briefly and an “empty window period” appears, which may also become a popular science content for some gyms in the current opening period.
In general, the gym chooses to operate at the moment, in addition to facing the above tests, it also lies in a lot of risks.
First, the official timetable for gym operations has not been released.
Even in the regions represented by Shanghai, there has been a large-scale resumption of work in the retail industry, and online approval is not required, and China Netcom handles the approval process. However, the relevant departments of the Sports Bureau permit the resumption of work in fitness venues to focus on outdoor venues. There is no official timetable for the opening hours of indoor fitness gyms.
As of now, the Shanghai Sports Bureau has not postponed offline service requirements for operating venues where gyms are located, including sports events, group gymnastics classes, and sports training, and issued further instructions.

Second, the closed nature of the gym has certain transmission risks.
Whether it happened recently, Japan ’s gym confirmed three new cases of new coronary pneumonia, and had close contact with 600 people, or in GymSquare ’s “Anhui Gym Outbreak” article, it has been shown that the objective environment of the gym is largely coronal The conditions and cycle of virus transmission provide “facilitation.”
Furthermore, for long-term pre-sale cards and other main content fitness clubs, when the epidemic is still in the high incidence of imported cases, the direct benefits of resuming work may not be high, and more importantly, In the event of an infectious accident, the company may bear some responsibility.

Unlike choosing to resume work immediately, some gyms are making a series of positive preparations. For example, through official release of venue epidemic prevention measures to reduce users, anxiety against epidemic prevention after entering the gym.
Silver Jim of Suzhou Gymnasium will show the disinfection of the equipment and stretching equipment of the venue to users through the long picture of WeChat public account. And make a short video to demonstrate the process of disinfection and temperature measurement of members entering and leaving. Similarly, Ma Jun, a private education studio, also displayed content on the WeChat public account, including disinfection specifications of the store environment, and personal protection of the venue team.
■ 24KiCK
On the other hand, compared with the large-scale opening of gym stores, the choice of targeted one-on-one personal education services has also become an active epidemic prevention option for small fitness venues.
The light fighting fitness brand 24KiCK today announced the appointment of a private training service for the peak shift, maintaining “one venue, one person”. The currently open venue is limited to Wangjing Botai, and the subject of open booking is only boxing and Muay Thai.
The epidemic has entered a critical period, and gyms need to be cautious when opening.
