THE COLLEGE HILL WAY
Over the past several weeks, we have focused on a comprehensive reopening strategy. This plan builds upon College Hill’s already recognized high standards of health, safety, and cleanliness – and takes them to the highest level.
CLEANING AND SANITATION
Cleaning Protocols
In addition to existing, continuous cleaning protocols, we will add a rigorous, deep-cleaning and disinfecting process three times during the day and once overnight. Designated areas of the gym will be sectioned off during the day to facilitate the deep cleaning. Our Coaching team is ready to support these rigorous cleaning protocols.
Disinfectant Procedures
Medical-grade, EPA-registered disinfectants, which are designated effective against the COVID-19 virus with a kill time of less than one minute, will be used for all continuous and deep-cleaning processes. This disinfectant will also be used to fully disinfect lockers and fitness equipment between uses.
Modified Gym Hours
We will be adjusting gym operating hours to allow for thorough cleaning and disinfecting overnight.
Fitness Equipment
We will allow 45 minutes between classes for disinfecting the gym and all equipment.
SANITIZER STATIONS
Hand Sanitizer
Members will be asked to use hand sanitizer when entering the gym and frequently throughout their visit. The hand sanitizer solution kills up to 99.9% of germs and includes 67% ethyl alcohol, above and beyond the CDC’s guideline of 60%, with added Aloe vera and essential oils. Hand sanitizer is available at touchless stations.
Disinfectant Towels
Members will be asked to use disinfectant spray/wipes on equipment before and after use in addition to College Hill’s cleaning protocols. Our disinfectant spray/wipes are approved by the EPA for use against COVID-19 and proven to kill 99.99% of bacteria, viruses and fungi on equipment and have the safest EPA Toxicity Rating. Disinfectant spray/wipes will be available in your designated area as well as throughout the gym.
HEALTH CHECKS
Health Declaration
Members and our coaching teams will be required to communicate before each gym visit to confirm they are not experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, nor have they come in contact with someone who is experiencing symptoms.
Temperature Check
Members and our teams will have body temperatures taken prior to entering the gym via touchless thermometers. Per CDC guidelines, individuals with a body temperature greater than 100.4 degrees will not be permitted entry into the gym.
Notifications
Members will be asked to alert the Owner (contact information can be found on the College Hill website) if they test positive for COVID-19 within 14 days of their last gym visit. We will provide email notification to all potentially exposed persons if there is a confirmed case of COVID-19 at College Hill.
LIMITED CLUB CAPACITY
Advanced Registration Required
Members will be asked to book a class visit in advance using the WODIFY app. Members will be able to schedule seven-days ahead of class time period.
GO CONTACTLESS
Touchless Registration
Check-in using the WODIFY app will eliminate the need to use the kiosk upon arrival.
Contactless In-Gym Transaction
For convenience and to minimize contact, members will be asked to use their credit card on file in the WODIFY app for purchases at The CHC Shop.
GIVE EACH OTHER SOME ROOM
Signage and Floor Markers
So that members can give each other enough space, physical distancing cues will be marked for your workout space.
FRONT DESK ETIQUETTE
Check-In
Temperature checks and hand sanitizer use will be required prior to entering the club. Touchless check-in will allow for safe and seamless entry to the gym.
Towels and Yoga Mats
Please bring your own towels/yoga mats as we will not provide these at this time.
CROSSFIT ETIQUETTE
Class Booking
To ensure physical distancing, we will limit capacity for all CrossFit classes. Advance booking will be required to attend all classes.
Gym Access
Gym will be open 15 minutes before class start times. Members will be asked to use hand sanitizer before entering the gym. Open gym will be available outside of class hours and registration is required.
Equipment
All CrossFit classes will be designed to facilitate distance between members. Our team will set up the gym floor beforehand with equipment. If a member requires other equipment, a coach will be available to assist. Only coaches will be permitted to handle equipment.
