The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world as we know it. Gyms, personal trainers, and fitness professionals have had to adapt to the ever-changing landscape in order to remain compliant and continue to service their clients.
What Does it Mean to be Covid Compliant?
Being COVID-compliant means following the regulations of the relevant government and health organizations to ensure the safety of both clients and employees. This includes things like social distancing, wearing face masks, and regularly sanitizing equipment.

Creating a Covid-Compliant Environment: The first step to becoming a COVID-compliant personal trainer is to create a safe and healthy environment for your clients. You should take extra care to ensure that all of the equipment is sanitized before and after use, and that you have adequate ventilation. You should also create a plan for clients to stay socially distanced from each other during their sessions.
Adopting New Technology: With the increasing focus on social distancing, many trainers have shifted to virtual sessions or hybrid sessions that are a combination of both in-person and virtual. Adopting new technologies such as video conferencing software or streaming platforms can help you remain compliant while still providing your clients with the same quality of service.
Creating a Supportive Community: The pandemic has been a difficult time for everyone, and it’s important to create a supportive environment for your clients. This means providing them with the resources and support they need to stay safe and healthy. It also means being understanding and flexible with clients who may have to cancel or postpone sessions due to health concerns.
