Socially distant, but close in my heart.
I've been spending the last few weeks talking with the teachers I've trained that have already opened their Pilates studios, talking to experts in science and health professions, and looking closely at the guidelines from our governor to prepare for our opening, hopefully mid-June. Here's what you need to know:
When will you open?
Multnomah County needs to apply to reopen, and JSP will fall under Phase I of the reopening plan, so it looks like June 12th will be the earliest we will be allowed to open again.
Will you still offer virtual classes?
Yes! The feedback has been amazing from the virtual classes, so if you do not feel safe to return, please feel free to stay virtually connected to us until you are ready to return.
How can we keep the studio safe, together?
Reduced Numbers and More Space
Classes will be reduced to two people and one instructor (only the two Reformer/Cadillac combos will be used, and they have been moved so they are more than 12 feet from head to head).
Waivers
Waivers that you and your household are symptom free need to be signed and sent via email before your first in-person class. Waivers can be downloaded here.
Personalized Bundle
If you want to purchase your own handles and straps before you visit, Peak Pilates is offering them at a reduced rate here. When you enter the studio, you will have a sanitized box for your personal items.
Ventilation
Windows and/or doors will be left open for extra air flow. Please wait outside before entering the studio at your lesson time.
Hand Washing and Cleaning Protocols
Staff will wash hands before each session, and clients will be expected to wash their hands before beginning a session. Extra time will be left for cleaning, using a 75% alcohol and water mixture as recommended by the CDC for killing viruses. Antimicrobial medical film will be used over handles, bars, and poles, and replaced at the beginning of each session.
Masks and Gloves
Staff will wear masks and gloves during your session. We will also provide masks you can use that will be washed between visits.
Cancellation Policy Relaxed
If you or anyone in your household have a fever or cold symptoms, please stay home. You will not be charged for your missed session.
