OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR HEALTH + SAFETY

Please be assured the health and safety of our clients are at the forefront of everything we do.  Your health and wellbeing has always been, and will continue to be, our number one priority. In these uncertain times, more than ever, we’re dedicated to ensuring you feel absolutely safe in our workout space.

ONGOING MEASURES

We have in place rigorous hygiene and cleanliness practices in every aspect of our operations,  strictly following the relevant government guidelines, updates and recommendations with regard to the coronavirus.

DETAILED EQUIPMENT CLEANING

The commercial-grade disinfecting wipes we use to clean the equipment after every class are alcohol-based and therefore highly effective at combatting germs.

After your class, you will be guided to thoroughly wipe down ALL the equipment – reformers, springs, footbar, reformer box, head cushions, Pilates circle, stretch bands, wipes canister, ankle weights if used, etc.

HAND SANITISER DISPENSERS

We will have multiple dispensers of alcohol-based sanitisers in the studio to sanitise your hands before and after class.

SANITISING OF HIGH TOUCH AREAS

We will also be paying extra attention to disinfecting all high-touch areas such as door handles, and benchtops at the end of each class.

RIGOROUS STUDIO DEEP CLEAN

An intensive deep clean of all equipment, studios, and common areas are being undertaken between each morning, noon and evening session.

HAND STRAP SANITISATION

We will be deep cleaning our hand straps daily.

SINGLE-USE GLOVES

We are also making single-use rubber gloves available in each studio, free of charge, if you wish to use them. The use of gloves in New Zealand is mandatory.

NON-SLIP MAT HYGIENE

Personal non-slip mats will be made available from your studio, should you wish to purchase your own. These are no longer part of the equipment provided.

REDUCED PERSONAL CONTACT

Physical corrections and modifications will only be used when required for safety purposes and hand sterilisation by the instructor will take place immediately afterwards. Generally, we will use verbal and visual cues only, to help minimise any health risks. You’ll continue to receive the same amazing workout experience that you’re used to, only safer for all, given the current circumstances.

WATER COOLERS

Water coolers in New Zealand are not available. Please bring your own water bottle.

FEELING UNWELL?

If you have flu-like symptoms including a sore throat, runny nose or fever, or have travelled to virus hotspots in the past 14 days, please keep yourself and others safe and healthy by refraining from attending class until cleared by a medical specialist. If you need to reschedule a class please reach out to your studio.

CONTACT TRACING REGISTER

Studio Pilates will be following government protocols by keeping a record of attendance for the purposes of contact tracing.

COVID SAFE PLAN

All of our studios have a COVID safe plan which provides a framework for managing risks associated with COVID-19 within Studio Pilates International facilities upon their return to operation. It has been developed as a Studio Pilates International network-wide minimum standard and identifies the unique risks related to COVID-19 within a Studio Pilates International studio, and provides specific protocols to manage these.
