As gyms and spas are now open, fitness freaks are rushing back to hit the machines. While A lot of people are excited to get back into their workout routine, it makes sense to be a little cautious about doing so as we still in the middle of a pandemic and keeping safe is one of the most important things. So here are some ways to make sure that going back to the gym is safer:
- Get vaccinated

- Follow all the guidelines
As the pandemic is still here make sure you follow all the guidelines. Maintain proper distance from other people at the gym, especially if you do not know that they are vaccinated or not. Keep using sanitizer before and after touching machines.
- Ensure that the machines are sanitized
Ask the gym staff or your trainer to sanitize the machines before and after anyone uses them. Or you can make your own disinfectant spray and use it.
- Go during off-hours
If you have a flexible schedule, it is a great idea to hit the gym during off-hours. This way you can avoid contacting a lot of people and do your workout safely.
- Change your clothes
Take your clothes with you and change them in the gym and after the workout change again before returning home. You can then wash these clothes. It is just an extra practice to stay safe.
- Don’t go before your session
Go to the gym a minute before the time of your session and leave immediately after. Do not spend too much time there.
