Gyms’ reopening – how to communicate all the new safety measures?

After months of strict lockdown restrictions, gyms and fitness centers are finally starting to reopen with social distancing rules and safety measures applied. For many people – trainers, gyms owners and the general public alike, it is a much anticipated reopening and many are eager to go straight back to their fitness training.
