COVID-19 SAFETY PROTOCOLS FOR FACE TO FACE TRAINING
In light of the recent coronavirus (COVID-19), your safety at the APS and APEI is our priority. We are regularly monitoring the Federal Government’s updates on the coronavirus and following the guidance of the health authorities.
Please see our coronavirus management plan based on advice by the Australian Government’s Department of Health to ensure that you are able to safely attend the Pilates sessions.
What if you are feeling unwell?
If you have a cold, cough, runny nose, temperature or sore throat
- Please DO NOT attend the face to face classes. You may like to request online classes if you are unwell or need to be isolated for any reason so you can continue doing Pilates in your own home. Please note there are no current scheduled online classes, please request a session and we will accommodate.
Pre-paid sessions
- Should there be a reason you need to isolate, APS will extend any pre-paid sessions until you are able to return to the studio for face to face sessions.
Please note that if you come to a class with any of the above symptoms, (ie” cold, cough, runny nose, temperature or sore throat) you may be asked to leave and reschedule your session after you have been tested for any contagious virus.
Equipment
- Our mats and apparatus are cleaned down prior and after every use in the studio with 99% sanitising sprays, however if you feel more comfortable to bring your own mats please feel free to do so.
Please bring your own hand towel and bath towel if you use the shower recess.
