Havant BJJ - Covid 19 Safety Measures

At Havant BJJ we’re committed to providing our students with a safe and affordable place to get a great workout. Being physically and mentally fit has never been more important and we are proud of the role that we are able to play. The safety of our members is our number one priority

We ask all members not to enter the gym if you are unwell, symptomatic or have tested positive for coronavirus, do not attend the gym and follow government regulation on isolating for the minimum period of time, and only return after this minimum period if you are feeling well again.. Please also keep your Gi and other training kit clean and washed after every session.

REDUCED TRAINING NUMBERS

We’ve reduced our class numbers to give you the space you need to train. The gym has also been rearranged and clearly marked out for you to use safely, so it is easy for everyone to follow.

EXTENSIVE AND FREQUENT CLEANING

Our gyms will be deep cleaned every night with high-grade anti-viral disinfectant. The team will also clean every piece of kit and surface throughout the day, from dumbbells to treadmills and everything in between, so you can train with confidence.

HAND SANITISING STATION

You'll find hand sanitiser on the entrance to the gym so it's easy to regularly clean your hands during your visit. We ask that you also sanitise your hands before entering the gym to keep yourself and others safe.

Contactless entry and bookings with our new app will make your visit safer and easier. Our app can also help you to plan your visit by checking the number of people in the gym to avoid busier times.

Team members have been told they should not leave home if they display any of the symptoms associated with Covid-19.

The team are washing their hands before their shifts, after completing cleaning tasks and frequently throughout shifts.

FAQ’s

Can BJJ help in the fight against Covid-19?

Being physically fit is highly protective against a range of illnesses. It also boosts the immune system. COVID-19 particularly affects those with underlying health conditions, diabetes etc. and those overweight. Given that the virus is now considered to be ‘endemic’ within the community, it is more important than ever to maintain one’s fitness.
Additionally, recent Public Health England (PHE) research has found that excess weight can increase risk of serious illness and death from COVID-19. Supporting people to maintain a healthier weight may reduce the serious effects of COVID-19.

How clean is the gym?

Havant BJJ will be deep cleaned overnight and regularly through the day, using high-grade disinfectants that will kill the virus. It is impossible to keep any environment 100% clean, as evidenced even in hospital operating theatres. However, it is possible to make environments ‘safe’ by undertaking the appropriate cleaning and disinfecting measures. COVID-19 is easy to kill with most readily available domestic cleaning agents and with thorough hand washing with soap for 20 seconds or more.

Will you provide any details to track and trace if required?

Yes, to help prevent the spread of infection around the UK we will support the NHS Track & Trace system. If requested by the NHS to provide visitor information, due to an outbreak in the vicinity of one of our gyms, we will supply your name, mobile and time of arrival and departure for members who had recently visited the specific site. This is voluntary and you are able to request to have your data excluded on request

Can you catch Coivd-19 from sweat?

No, COVID-19 is not transmitted through sweat.
