COVID SAFETY PLAN
Occupancy, Distancing, Facility:
Dean CrossFit is open with limited capacity. All visits to the gym will be by appointment only, with members registering for class through the WODIFY APP.
All Crossfit classes are limited to 10 members indoors, with appropriate distance between each workstation.
Workout stations have been marked in order to clearly indicate each member’s training area. Each station will include its own barbell, rack, bench, and a cleaning kit. No equipment sharing will happen at the gym.
Walkway lines have been put down to help members queue up and navigate the space while maintaining 6′ of distance between each other while at the gym.
Staff onsite will oversee and facilitate proper distancing protocols during all business hours.
The showers are not available for use. Clear signage will be placed around the facilities indicating access and capacity where applicable.
Members must come to the gym alone. No kids, friends or dogs. 🙁
Programming will be such that spotting will be rarely required. When and if it must happen a coach will provide it.

COVID RELATED FAQS
What are the guidelines for visiting the gym post travel?
If you are traveling out of state, please review the current NYS Covid Travel Advisory guidelines.
What do I do when I get to the gym?
We ask that everyone arrive 5-10min before the start of your class to scan QR Code and complete the Covid Screening Questionnaire, sanitize or wash hands, and head to your individual work station. You will not be signing in at the front desk, but we ask you to please sign-in to class using your WODIFY APP. Come ready to train in your workout clothing, as the shower/locker room areas are closed.
Where will I put my stuff?
Members can bring their belongings into their workout areas. There is limited shelving options to store items there, but best to keep near your individual station.
Do I have to wear a mask? I don’t like it/feel like I can’t breath etc.
Appropriate face coverings will be strictly required at all times while at the gym. There are no exceptions to this policy, if you feel like you can’t wear a mask, we ask that you consider our virtual classes instead.

We have removed all the communal chalk buckets from the gym. You can bring your own, (some people like liquid chalk) or purchase a sealed brick of chalk in a 1 gallon zip lock bag for $2 at the front desk. You’ll write your name on the bag and it can be part of your personal kit that you bring to the gym.
