The flu season is starting and will last through the fall and winter. If you get the flu, you can get sick and can spread the flu to others at home, at work, and at the gym. Symptoms of flu include fever or chills and cough or sore throat. In addition, symptoms of flu can include runny nose, body aches, headache, tiredness, diarrhea, or vomiting.

Level Up Is Asking You To:

Stay home if you are sick until at least 24 hours after you no longer have a fever (100 degrees Fahrenheit) or signs of a fever (have chills, feel very warm, have a flushed appearance, or are sweating). This should be determined without the use of fever-reducing medicines (any medicine that contains ibuprofen or acetaminophen).

Wash your hands frequently. If you are at the gym, wash your hands before and after classes/training with warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol based hand sanitizer. 

If you use equipment outside of class, please disinfect items you touch before and after use to be safe. We advise you to also disinfect your own gear before and after classes. We have disinfectant sprays and paper towels for you to use.

Cover your mouth and nose with tissues whenever you sneeze, and discard used tissues in the trash. After, please wash your hands.

Avoid close contact with others who are sick with respiratory symptoms. If you come in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19, we ask that you please do not come to the gym until you have been cleared by a health professional.

It is critical that you do not train if you are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills or fatigue.

We offer Virtual Boxing and Virtual Muay Thai/Kickboxing classes that can be performed remotely and we hope you take advantage of those classes to Level Up at Home.

If a severe flu outbreak hits our community, we will take additional steps to avoid spreading the flu virus in the gym.

If you have any questions about policies or action steps we can take, please contact us at frontdesk@levelupgym.com. Additionally, if you are not sure what to do if you get sick, email us.

By working together, we can protect our gym while having a productive fall and winter.
