COVID-19: Group Class & Private Training Procedures

Simon 'Thor' Damborg

Please make sure you have read and understand the Raincity Athletics COVID-19 Procedures - below covers specific details related to certain types of sessions.

IMPORTANT CHANGES

Some things to note for existing RAthletes that have changed (besides the full process below)

Classes are now :50 minutes - this allows us a 20 minute transition between classes to sanitize & clean and prep for the next group. As we get more efficient with our processes (or as requirements get loosened) we will extend class times and shorten the breaks between.

Reservations open 5 days in advance - this allows plenty of time to consider your schedule & reserve classes accordingly

Cancellations CLOSE 24 hours prior to class - this ensures time for anyone on a wait-list to be able to get into class with time to complete their mandatory self assessment.

Reservations CLOSE 12 hours in advance - if there is room in the class <24 hours you can reserve and will recieve the self assessment email immediately. note: if you reserve by mistake between 12-24 hours prior to class you will NOT be able to cancel yourself - so please email info@raincityathletics.ca IMMEDIATELY if this happens so we can remove you.

All in person private training sessions are now :50 - this allows time for the coach to setup / prep / cleanup between clients. If you’d like to get the full :60 or longer just talk to your coach about pricing.

Coaches will lay out and sanitize ALL your equipment PRIOR to your class or session
