Gym companies Virgin Active and Planet Fitness are at the advanced stages of engaging with government about safely reopening gyms.
Dr Georgia Torres, an exercise psychologist at the Witwatersrand University, said exercising was becoming a necessity as it assisted in reducing the severity of the virus. Managing director of Virgin Active SA Mark Field said a balance between protecting its members and staff was important. The company would look into hiring private transport to avoid its staff using public transport, or would encourage a carpool system.
“We have seen a huge drop in our online workouts since outdoor exercise was allowed. People are seeing the importance of exercising,” Field said. “About 85% of our members have agreed to come back to the club while we are focused on screening and social distancing.”CEO of Planet Fitness and Justgyms Manny Rivera said the group was concerned about the mental health of its members during the pandemic.
