But, personal trainer, Michael Savarese says their adding even more sanitation and wipes in the gym.
He says educating members is their number one priority.
“Members have been extremely proactive in taking care of equipment, wiping things down before and after, so it’s been nice,” Michael Savarese said. “The gym is probably in the best shape it’s been in in a while. So, it’s really nice to have everyone working together as a team, coming together and pitching in.”
So, if you’re a gym addict, you don’t have to stop, just take the necessary safety measures.
