CIMSPA: Allowing limited personal training will bring 'some relief' to fitness sector
Allowing limited personal training to resume in outdoor settings will offer "some relief" to those in the physical activity sector, according to Tara Dillon, CEO of The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA).
Dillon welcomed news that, from Wednesday 13th May, outdoor personal training will be allowed on a one-to-one basis, provided that social distancing guidelines are observed.
“The reopening of gyms and leisure centres is still some way off, but we are pleased that some outdoor personal training can resume," she said.
"This will give some relief to many in our sector who have been impacted by this crisis and will provide a valuable service to their customers.
"We would urge all personal trainers to ensure they adhere strictly to the government’s social distancing and hygiene guidelines and keep the safety of themselves and their customers as their number one priority."
While outdoor training can now recommence, the use of outdoor gyms will not be permitted.
The use of equipment should be kept to a minimum and only used in tandem with stringent hygiene practices – meaning the thorough cleaning of all equipment before and after use.
