After a gap of almost 5 months, all the gyms would be reopened in Tamil Nadu.
It is now believed that this would make many gym owners, fitness enthusiasts and trainers very happy. However, there is one important condition that must be followed compulsorily. Those persons who are above the age of 50 would not be allowed in the gyms. It was mentioned by a release from the government that stand alone gyms would be permitted to function in TN.
Mr. Ajit Shetty, owner of Score expressed his thoughts about the reopening of the gyms in TN. He explained that protocols must be followed in the new normal and many gym owners are chalking out the protocols.
The persons coming to the gyms would be checked for their temperatures before they are allowed to go inside the gyms. He hinted that locker rooms and sauna baths would not be allowed to be used. He concluded that a distance of 3 to 4feet between each member would be maintained inside the gyms.
Point is there would not be a huge rush in the gymnasiums and it is now expected that gyms would have just 25% footfall initially. In the beginning, the people would be scared to visit the gyms but the footfalls would improve after a certain time.
The stamina of the members would have got affected during the lockdown period and post Covid course would be provided to the members of the gym after they rejoin. This was as per Mr. N. Venkat, CEO of Chennai�s wing of Gold�s Gym.
Mr. Venkat stressed the importance of the post covid rejuvenation programme. It is known that despite people working out inside their houses in the lock down the facilities plus the environment the gyms provide are totally different. He added that sanitisation of gyms plus the equipment are very important.
