Safety Precautions During Covid-19

We’re grateful that Ontario Public Health Department and The Provincial Government are allowing businesses like ours to reopen. Rest assured we will be meeting and exceeding all health and safety regulations. Our plan is to ease into reopening and allow all of our esteemed members time to acclimate and enjoy being out of their homes.

With social distancing, occupancy restrictions, and new safety/cleaning policies in place, we are excited to offer multiple IN-GYM options!

RULES AND POLICIES FOR ATTENDING IN GYM PROGRAMS: 

Thank you for adhering to all policies while we work through this unprecedented time. We will adjust as the Ontario Public Health Department allows.  At this moment, here are the current policies if attending the gym in person to keep you and your family healthy. 

• Before Coming to My Gym: Please self-screen yourself and your child/ren at home. Take your temperatures and be sure everyone is free of any signs of illness. 

Self-Screening at Home
Before you join the fun at My Gym, please ensure the following is true for all members of your household:  

• Yes/No: Temperature below 100.4 (OPH guideline)
• Yes/No: No signs of illness, including runny nose, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, or chills
• Yes/No: No known exposure to anyone with a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 case

It is your responsibility to self-screen. If you answer “no” to any item on the list, please do not come to the gym and let us know you are staying at home. That will also allow us to let another child attend in your spot. 

• On the Day of Your Program: 
  • Complete your covid family assessment at home by making sure the questions listed above are true for all members of your family.
  • Please arrive 5 minutes before your prescheduled program and wait until the GREEN GO SIGN has been posted on the door.
  • Upon entering,  please head to the restroom to wash your hands or use the provided hand sanitizer.
  • Lastly, set your belongings down in the lobby and come on in! 
  • Don't forget to maintain the advised social distance protocol while in the gym for your classes.

• Drop off Programs/Waiting in the Lobby:
  • Kids in independent programs must be dropped off. At this time, we are not allowing viewing of independent classes so no parents will be allowed to observe classes in the lobby
  • We encourage you to allow your child to play freely but gently guide them toward open unused areas of the gym if needed.

• Social Spacing: Sizes: All class sizes have been reduced to encourage and promote social distancing guidelines. 
• Parent participation classes will now be (  one parent per child).   
• Independent and older kids classes will be a  maximum 12 children and 2 staff. Parents are required to drop off and leave the class.
  

• Cleaning:
  • You’ll notice that we’ll be cleaning throughout your time in the gym (but never in your or your child’s personal space). 
  • The ball pit has been closed and playground balls have been removed from the gym floor.  Our setups will be designed to allow for the most fun with maximum spacing. 

• Masks: 
  • My Gym Staff: Will be wearing masks at all times.
  • Adults: may wear masks and we will update requirements following Ottawa Public Health Department's current recommendations.
  • Children: Exemption of mask is allowed when children are performing physical activities as stated in the Ontario Public Health Guidelines for temporary mask wearing. 

• Signs of Illness: Caregivers or children showing signs of any illness, in general, will be asked to come back when they are 100% symptom-free.

• Drop-ins: 
  • Simply put, drop-ins are not allowed (so we may maintain proper size limits). 
  • Practice & Play must be scheduled in advance by sending a text message to 6134408400.  Sorry, No Exceptions.
