ALL VIRGINIA LOCATIONS OPEN MON. JUNE 15TH!
The Perfect Workout will reopen the doors to training in-person all of our Virginia studios on 6/15/20:

• Alexandria, VA
• Burke, VA
• Centreville, VA
• Fairfax, VA
• Falls Church, VA
• Reston, VA

As expected, there are certain guidelines our team will be honoring in order to keep everyone safe.

In regard to Fitness Studios, we will be following the State of Virginia established guidelines:
• Patrons, members, instructors, and guests must remain ten feet apart at all times.
• Occupancy is limited to 30%. We are taking it a step further and for the foreseeable future, we will not have more than 6 people in the studio at any given time and in many cases no more than 2.
• Employees must wear face coverings.
• Equipment must be cleaned and disinfected after each use.
• Businesses must supply hand sanitizer or hand washing stations.

What does this mean for you?
• As mentioned above, we are taking extra steps to make sure we limit the number of people in our studio at any given time to no more than 6 and in most cases, just you and your trainer will be in the studio.
• A scheduled appointment will be required to come to the studio.
• All Training Staff will be wearing masks. Masks are welcome, but not required for clients.
• Our trainers will be sanitizing your machines after every use.
• Our studios will be equipped with HEPA air filters to ensure high levels of air cleanliness.
• All staff will wash or disinfect their hands after each client interaction & will provide hand sanitizer to our clients upon entering.
• Bathrooms will be open and cleaned many times throughout the day.

If for any reason you’d like to continue with Virtual Training sessions until a later date, that is okay too.
