COVID 19 PREPAREDNESS PLAN FOR THE PILATES BODY
THE STUDIO IS FULLY OPEN
The Pilates Body is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all our Clients and Trainers. To ensure that, we have developed the following Preparedness Plan in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic. Pilates Body employees have the full support of ownership and authority to execute the provisions of our preparedness plan. Studio staff, industry best practices, CDC & Minnesota Department of Health Guidelines were essential in developing our protocols. In addition to the items listed below, The Pilates Body has installed state of the art UV air filtration system which both filters the air and kills virus with UV radiation.
