Episode 2 – Post Lock Down – Advice and guidance on opening studios

We received lots of queries and questions from you on what we should and shouldn't be doing when re-opening our studios, again we wanted to share with you our experiences and what we have down to meet the guidelines that have been set for our industry, review some research around gyms re-opening, look into insurance issues and pass on our approach and plans as to how we are re-opening. We hope that this will help you!

Episode 1 - During Lockdown

As a starting point we thought that it was appropriate to share with you how we coped through lock down, what processes and hard decisions we had to make and how we interpreted the constantly changing advice that we were receiving.
