RE-OPENING DURING THE COVID-19 AS FROM WEDNESDAY 15TH JULY

CIRCULAR 1/COVID/JULY/2020

“ Since men have learnt to shoot without missing, Eneke the bird has been forced to learn
to fly without perching.” Chinua Achebe

We closed our gym on March 22nd amid the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Our hope was
that we would flatten the pandemic curve in a short while and resume to flattening the other
‘mid belly curve’.
Three months later, it’s clear that the pandemic shall remain with us for a little longer than we
anticipated and borrowing the wisdom of Eneke the bird, we have been forced to learn how to
live with it. Following guidelines from authorities, we have decided to re-open while putting in
place stringent measures to help protect both our staff and clientele.
Here is what we are doing and also what you can do to help us:
What the gym is doing What you should do

expansion of the facility. We have more than
doubled the gym space and created more

group classes(1.5 mtrs sq).

during the off peak hours ( 10 am to 4 pm )
