Updated Covid Safety Protocols

Hey everyone, we wanted to check in and give you all an update on our Covid safety protocols. Now more than ever, it’s important to have a safe place to workout, blow off some steam, keep yourself healthy and see your gym friends. Since reopening on Sept 2nd, 2020, we’ve had over 23,800 check-ins at the gym and zero confirmed cases of covid transmission. We want to sincerely thank everyone for their diligence in following our protocols, staying home when sick and alerting us in cases of positive tests so that we could inform other members you shared the gym with. A year into the pandemic we’ve learned a lot about how the virus spreads as well as how it does not. We know that coronavirus is primarily transmitted through respiration and that proper ventilation, air filtration, social distancing and mask usage are all tools we can continue to lean on as effective mitigation strategies. Our open gates, hepa filters, mask policy and large workout stations all work to keep CFSBK a safe space to train. Recently the CDC released new guidelines regarding transmission via surfaces which we’re going to use to update our cleaning protocol at the gym. Additionally, many of you have gotten vaccinated so we’re also going to be providing an additional option to expedite your entry to the gym.

Cleaning

According to new guidelines released from the CDC, transmission of the Coronavirus via surfaces is exceedingly rare and regular disinfection does little to keep people safe. The inefficacy of regular cleaning to prevent covid transmission has been widely reported with some examples being here and here. Given this, we will be updating our cleaning protocol for members as follows:

  • Continue to disinfect hands when entering the gym via the hand sanitation stations provided in each facility. Hand sanitizer is readily available throughout the gym and we encourage its regular use as well as minimizing touching your face.
  • Cleaning of all used equipment will no longer be required at the end of your training sessions with the exception of: Go Mats, Abmats, Benches used for training and medicine balls. Now that we’ve got this great momentum cleaning, lets keep up the hygienic practice of always cleaning items you may leave sweat on.
  • Chalk will become available for communal use again and will also continue to be available for individual purchase. We’re currently restocking chalk so there may be a delay in its availability.
  • Cleaning supplies will continue to be available as they have been. Members who would like to clean up any additional equipment before or after use are more than welcome to.
  • Should we be informed that a member has tested positive for covid, we will spray down the equipment with disinfectant in the relevant gym.

We’re excited to provide more of your precious time at the gym to training instead of cleaning and hope this will be a relief to all.

Digital Health History Questionnaire and Vaccine Cards

We’re delighted to see how many of you have already gotten vaccinated. To expedite your entry to the gym, moving forward you will have the option of either filling out the digital health history questionnaire or showing us your vaccination record card after you have been fully vaccinated and it has been 14 days or longer since your final shot. We will also accept a New York State Excelisor Pass.  For the time being we will continue to take temperature readings upon entry.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact david@crossfitsouthbrooklyn.com

What physical strength/fitness means to me, by Coach Lynsey

Movement has always been something that defines me. Whether it be throwing myself around the living room as a toddler, attending dance classes every day of the week as an adolescent, or being a professional Dancer, Teacher and Coach. It’s how I learn, how I communicate, and it makes me happy. Physical Strength and Fitness means fulfillment, happiness and longevity. I don’t need or have to be the best Dancer, CrossFitter or Exerciser to feel value, but I focus on strength and fitness to nurture a passion for movement for myself and others, and to age with confidence and capability.

Update on Membership and RSVPs

We understand that some classes, especially morning classes are getting increasingly difficult to reserve, so we have made some changes that we hope will help.

First of all, we are not accepting any new members for our busier times. Instead, starting 4/5 we are offering an Off-Peak 10x class card for $200. This will give access to the following times only.

Group Classes
Monday-Friday 9am,11am,12pm
Monday-Thursday 7:30pm
Saturday, Sunday 12pm,1pm

Open Gym
Monday- Friday 2pm-4pm
Tuesday, Thursday 7pm
Friday 4pm-8:30pm
Saturday, Sunday-2pm-3:30pm

This is also open to all current members so if you’d like to make any changes, just email cfsbkfrontdesk@gmail.com.

Secondly, we are changing our cancellation policy. Members can now cancel classes via the app up to 6 hours before the class start time. We hope that this will help ensure that classes that are at capacity are actually full. We ask that you please let us know by phone or email if you need to cancel any later than that so we can try to give someone else the opportunity to come to class.

Finally, if you are on the Waitlist for a class and somebody cancels, instead of automatically being reserved, you will receive a text to let you know that you need to log in to ZenPlanner to confirm your reservation. If you do not confirm within 30 minutes, the next person on the Waitlist will then be contacted.

So that this runs as smoothly as possible, please make sure your phone number is up to date in our system.
