Covid Class Tips
We are trying to abide by the state’s guidelines while getting as many people through classes as possible. This is not an ideal situation, and I promise it is WAY more work for us… but we are trying to do our best for you. Please read over this overly long list before each class, because it’s all annoying but important. This page will updated as we go, so watch for changes.
We appreciate your understanding that things may not always go as smooth as we would like.
Please follow these guidelines so we can stay as safe as possible.
- We are running classes by appointment only. We are limiting class sizes to preserve social distancing . You must sign up for a class in advance and these will be your classes. You can sign up for 2 classes per week as far out as you would like. Within 24 hours, you can sign up for as many additional classes as you would like. You may cancel a class on your own, but let us know if you need help doing so.
- Please arrive in your training clothes. The building will be closed, so we will not have locker rooms or showers.
- We are trying to keep people out of the bathrooms are much as possible, so please use the bathroom before coming to your class.
- Bring your own water and make sure it is clearly marked. This is even more important for the kids classes so they can take their water to their training area.
- You must wear a mask when you arrive.
- You must practice safe social distancing of 6 feet at all times.
- No high fives, hugs, fist bumps, handshakes or any of the other stuff that we do non-stop with our training partners. It’s a hard habit to break, but we need to do it.
- We will have less people at the gym, but less parking too because we will be using the parking lot for classes. Please park as best you can, but it will be tight. Plan to come and park and sit in your car until 5 minutes before your start time.
- We will be checking everyone with an infrared thermometer (non-contact) and will be sending anyone home with a temperature of 100.3. We will also be asking everyone a few questions on your way to your personal training space. We will give you some hand sanitizer to wash your hands.
- Once you have been cleared by whoever is at the front desk, you will go directly to your training area. Once there, you may remove your mask as long as you stay at your own training area. If you need to leave your training area for any reason, you must put your mask back on. We have a Lauzon MMA masks to give out for now, but they are one size fits all and may not fit you. You should still bring your own.
- Equipment is not to be shared. If you need something, please ask an instructor.
- Your entire area and equipment must be wiped down between classes. We are running mostly 40 minute classes with a 20 minute gap before the next class to provide time to wipe things down and clear you out before the next class starts. Adults: Please help us by wiping down all of your equipment (including puzzle mats) with the provided cleaner and rags.
Parents: Please just get your kids out of here as soon as your child is dismissed. - Kids will be released from their space one at a time so we don’t have a pack of packs who are not very good at gauging 6 feet in order to socially distance.
- Please leave as soon as your class is over. We understand people like to hang out and talk with their friends, but we need to get you out so we can have the space cleared and cleaned before the next class comes in. We understand this sucks, but it sucked more being stuck home for the last 10+ weeks.
Do I have to wear a mask? When you arrive: yes. Once you have been cleared and have reported to your own training area, you may take the mask off for class.
Where are parent’s during class? We thought about sending parents to their cars to wait there, but we are going to set up a parents area with spaced out seats. We didn’t want to have to deal with parents going missing and we need things to run quickly and smoothly. We are not allowing parents to drop off their kids and leave… they must stay. There is also a nice edge of grass the entire length of the parking lot that is in the shade, and that has been a nice place for parents to sit.
How will the weather affect things? We are doing classes outside and there is a LOT of equipment and things that have to happen everyday before and after classes. If the weather is bad, we will be emailing and posting on the Facebook groups about cancellations. If the weather looks like rain, we will likely be cancelling classes.
What’s the uniform policy? We are running all the kids classes in shorts and a t-shirt. It’s going to be hot outside and directly in the sun… so we are going to stop the uniform policy and change it to whatever shorts and shirt you would like (tank top, short sleeve, long sleeve, sports bra are all fine), and Gi for the BJJ classes. We are also advising people to wear sneakers for their classes.
What about the Zoom classes? Most of the zoom classes are done. We still have 4 classes going a week from Danny Savery’s gym. You can find the dates, times and information on those in the Lauzon MMA Student hub. Let us know if you need the password.
