PHASE 2 FAQ

PHASE 2 RE-OPENING FAQS

 

I’m coming in, what does this look like?

Upon entering all members will follow this process:

  • Members must have signed new waiver and rules/policy document sent via email
  • Enter through entrance only doors and adhere to the oneway flow of traffic
  • You will be asked if you have any cold or flu-like symptoms
  • Scan phone barcode or keychain barcode
  • If members have not filled out the waiver, they will be required to on their own device prior to resuming access.
  • Sanitize hands
  • Grab a personal sanitation spray bottle. Once we run out of bottles we will have reached our capacity and you will be asked to wait until someone leaves.
  • Keep a minimum of 6 feet distance between staff and members
  • Have a great workout

 

What are your social distancing guidelines while in the club?

We are asking all members to maintain a 6-foot distance between themselves and others in the club. Physiq has implemented procedures to help ensure these distancing guidelines are respected including visual reminders, area closures and staff to monitor and enforce these rules.

 

What else is Physiq doing to keep the gyms clean?

Physiq is requesting that all members disinfect equipment after use and is providing extra sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer. We will have Physiq staff cleaning all open areas of the gym throughout every day and doing a deep clean every night after closing.

 

Can I use a guest pass to visit the gym?

Guest passes are not allowed at this time.

Can I put a temporary freeze on my account?

We realize that the COVID-19 pandemic has created unforeseen circumstances for many people, so we want to make sure that you know you can re-freeze your account for up to three months by emailing [email protected]. This is a great option if you need a little extra time to make it back to the gym.

Can I cancel my account and reinstate later?

We do recommend freezing your membership, as it will allow you to maintain your current low membership rate. All cancellations will still follow the standard cancellation policy of 30-day notice.
