On March 23, 2020, Healthworks Hendra temporarily closed due to government mandate to slow the spread of COVID-19 and save lives. All memberships were suspended free of charge. We spent the entirety of the closure period renovating the club and preparing for a safe reopening — quite literally building a better, safer and more hygienic facility for our members to enjoy. On July 23, 2020, Healthworks Hendra reopened and remains fully compliant with the Queensland Government’s ‘Industry Covid-Safe Plan for Fitness Facilities’, available here.
We’ve implemented the following to keep you safe:
- Touchless tapware and hand dryers in the change rooms
- Touchless hand sanitising stations in all areas of the club
- Appropriately spaced or labelled equipment to allow members to maintain a physical distance of 1.5m
- Plenty of paper towel and no rinse sanitiser to allow you to clean your equipment before and after use
- Disabled the water bubbler component of our drinking fountains
- Restricted the number of members in each area as required in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines
- Regular sanitisation and cleaning of equipment plus a daily commercial clean
- Installed an automated reminder to adhere to guidelines periodically via the gym’s sound system
As a condition of entry, members are expected to:
- Book for Reformer Pilates and Cycle Studio classes
- Scan in upon entry (if you don’t have a fob, you can purchase a new one for $5 or scan in by name at the reception desk)
- Wash hands or use alcohol-based hand sanitiser upon arrival
- When in the club, adhere to any signage advising maximum member numbers in a given area
- Utilise automatic hand sanitiser stations throughout the club
- Perform disinfectant wipe downs of exercise equipment before and after use
- Use a clean towel for each session or class
- Bring your own drink bottles
- Never come to the club if feeling unwell or displaying COVID-19 symptoms
- Leave the gym once the workout session or class is complete
