This post describes the safety protocols in place at Second Wind as of 10/1/2020.
As we have mentioned previously when we re-open we will only be allowed to have 6 athletes and 1 coach per class, and in the gym at one time, this allows us to keep athletes 10 feet apart. When the gym is full you must wait outside and the coach will let you in.
We have rearranged equipment and boxed out athlete stations around the squat racks.

Do I have to wear a mask in the gym?
Yes, the entire time. Masks and Face Cages will be provided to prevent a sweaty paper mask from blocking your airway during a strong inhale.
