WHAT ARE YOUR COVID SAFETY PROTOCOLS?
COVID Safety, Sanitizing and Disinfecting Protocols:
SHRED905 has consulted with the Ontario Medical Association to derive the most comprehensive disinfecting protocols available. Our process and use of hospital grade disinfectants are all Health Canada approved and include a Drug Identification Number (DIN) marking their approval.
SHRED905 will utilize electrostatic spray disinfection to properly sanitize and disinfect all equipment in the gym including the Octagon, boxing ring, punching bags and all surfaces.
Electrostatic spray disinfection is a hospital grade method of sterilization and disinfection like no other. The disinfectant (also Health Canada approved) is more targeted, providing more consistent coverage, and like 2 magnets, attracts to the oppositely charged surface with remarkable force. The result....a fully disinfected surface free from all bacteria and viruses including Covid-19 virus, SARS, Influenza A&B, H1N1 & HIV.
The electrostatic spray disinfection will also be combined with our increased touch point sterilization of heavily touched surfaces throughout the gym also using a Health Canada approved contact sanitizer. SHRED905 staff will be spraying the solution throughout your scheduled class to all high contact surfaces and equipment. The solution is 100% biodegradable and safe to use while working out.

SHRED905 Front Desk Check-In Protocol:
- We ask members arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before class
- Please do not arrive late for class in order to accomodate new check-in screening
- Upon entry members will sanitize hands and proceed to the front desk to check-in for their class.
- Members are to arrive with face masks ON and keep mask ON during the check-in process. Masks can be removed right before exercise starts. Please ensure masks are put back ON promptly once exercise is done. Participants will exit the studio with masks ON.
- Please ensure you arrive with a properly fitted mask- masks below the nose are unacceptable and do not provide the necessary protection
- All members are to check-in with the front desk upon entering the studio where temperature checks will be enforced as well as a verbal COVID screening questionnaire.
- Any member exhibiting a temperature reading of 38 degrees Celsius or higher will be asked to leave.
- The front desk is equipped with a protective barrier. Please keep your distance in front of this barrier.
- We ask that members come to class with as little belongings as possible. Please be sure to utilize the cubbies in the front for all belongings as our wall hooks and storage area in the back remain currently unavailable. We ask you come with a gym bag that can be used to store your belongings and that can be zipped up. Please NO LOOSE belongings in our front area.
- There is no member congregating before and after class. Members will not be permitted to enter the studio earlier and are asked to exit promptly once class is done.

SHRED905 Class Sizes, Distancing and Class Flow:
- We have reduced all class sizes in order to maintain the mandated distancing requirements. All online schedules have been updated to reflect the smaller class sizes.
- We have secured use of the adjacent outdoor walkway and will be able to use that space – weather permitting.
- We will have floor markers to indicate proper distancing and ask members stay in their designated ‘area’. We plan to utilize all of our floor space in order to accommodate members and keep everyone safely distanced.
- We realize the flow and traffic during class will be different- we ask everyone be mindful of their movement and do their best to respect their working out ‘area’
