Restaurants can serve sit-down meals outside from Friday as long as they have the required city permits and follow state guidance. Photo of the patio at Cafenated: Pete Rosos

Berkeleyside is sharingthislatest message from the city of Berkeley about coronavirus-related rulings.This one, about re-opening, was issued Thursday around 4 p.m., and follows an order put out on June 12 which anticipated many of the new rules. It appears below in full.

Parallel health orders in effect on Friday June 19 allow people in Berkeley and the rest of Alameda County to attend religious ceremonies, dine with others in their social bubble at restaurants with outdoor seating, and go inside retail stores.

The orders will also allow groups of 12 to take part in outdoor non-contact fitness classes and non-contact athletic training for college teams. A previous order allowed children to have botha household bubble as well as a bubble for extracurricular activities, such as sports.

Each business or group will be required to put measures into place to limit spread of COVID-19, which has no vaccine or proven medical treatment and is particularly lethal to those over 65 and those with high-risk conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease.

We permit these activities with restrictions to limit spread, but people should not abandon caution, said Dr. Lisa B. Hernandez, Health Officer for the City of Berkeley. COVID-19 remains a threat to everyone in our community, regardless of age. Just because an act is allowed, the risk of infection is not eliminated.

Dr. Hernandez and other health officials recommend that everyone should take these steps during this pandemic:

Everyone should assess the risks for themselves or their households when taking part in additional activities. Reduce risk by being outdoors, having shorter activities, and using merchants that visibly abide by protocols.

The rules being put into place by the two Public Health jurisdictions closely align with state guidance. Merchants should seeour streamlined process for getting permits for commerce in sidewalks and streets and for creating parklets.

All retail stores are now allowed to operate as long as they follow guidelines to limit the spread of COVID-19. They are encouraged to make goods available for curbside pickup.

Retailers operating indoors must have enough space so that patrons and staff can be six feet apart and no more than 50 percent of normal occupancy.

All stores must make reasonable efforts to ensure that staff and customers wear face coverings, and comply with social distancing intervals, such as marking six foot intervals for customers to stand in line at pickup areas.

Stores may move goods outside for display or sale as long as they get appropriate City permits and do not cause congestion or block the path of travel.

Merchants must also comply withstate guidance for retailers.

Restaurants can now serve sit-down meals outside as long as they have the required City permits andfollow state guidance. Groups of six people who are part of a social bubble together can go out for a meal together and must wear masks, except when eating.

Tables and lounge areas must be arranged so that there is at least six feet between people of different social bubbles. Entertainment is not allowed.

Restaurants that have been closed for at least a month will have to comply with a number of regulations, the specifics of which can be seen in the order.

All restaurants must sanitize areas that have not been used, post theirSite-Specific Protection Protocol, follow the stateGeneral Checklist for Dine-in Restaurants, and designate a COVID-19 supervisor, who is on site during business hours and in charge to ensure the implementation of the food facilities Site-Specific Protection Plan.

Lines for curbside pickup or takeaway must be in a separate area that prevents them from accessing the outdoor dining area.

Please see thefull Health Orderfor details.

Mosques, churches, temples and other places of worship may hold in-person religious services and cultural ceremonies as long as they followstate guidance. Livestreaming services are still encouraged as in-person religious services and cultural ceremonies can involve extended periods of close contact increasing the risk of COVID-19 transmission.

Services or ceremonies may not exceed 100 attendees or 25 percent of the buildings capacity, whichever is less. Organizers should consider keeping contact information for event attendees for 21 days. That would allow city, county or regional contact tracers to reach people should an outbreak occur in these settings.

College sports teams as well as outdoor fitness classes can now hold non-contact practices or classes, respectively, in groups of 12 athletes or participants. One coach or instructor may also be present.

Everyone must wear a face covering, except when participating in high-intensity aerobic activities. Participants must keep at least six feet apart at all times. No equipment may be shared and should be sanitized after each practice, class or use.

Class operators must get permission from private owners or managers of the outdoor space.

Locker rooms, weight rooms, or other indoor facilities may not be used at this time.

Increased activities and movements will lead to more COVID-19 cases. Doing so in a gradual fashion lessens the impact and allows health officials to monitor the effects of each phase.

Everyone in our community holds tools to reduce spread, said Dr. Hernandez. Wear a face covering, wash hands frequently, keep distance from others and get tested if concerned.

New Berkeley health order allows outdoor dining, retail, religious and fitness activities but caution urged - Berkeleyside

As states nationwide loosen stay-at-home restrictions and consumers are getting more accustomed to greater mobility, the ath-leisure market and sports industry are also starting to stretch back into shape.

In the second edition of its monthly COVID-19 industry impact report, the Sports & Fitness Industry Association highlighted some hints of progress, while acknowledging companies are still warming up. Looking at the long road ahead for a financial rebound, 60 percent of respondents said they expect some semblance of pre-COVID-19 sales to return in 2021 or later.

Most product categories saw considerable declines in sales from year-to-year, as millions of consumers have restricted their discretionary spending due to the pandemic. The most recent monthly survey showed signs of improvement with 56 percent of the sports and fitness companies saying sales grew from April to May.

Representing manufacturers, retailers and marketers, SFIAs president Tom Cove said, Amid the stay-at-home orders, companies shifted quickly to adapt business operations and marketing strategies. They focused their energy on e-commerce, and worked to maintain accessible and relevant communications with their consumers. They also prioritized product that could be used on an individual basis and at home to keep sales afloat. Our industry has proved to be resilient over the past few months. At the same time, its tough out there and no one sees the road back as easy or quick.

As is pretty much the case with most companies across different sectors, conserving cash is essential for sports-minded brands and companies. Dicks Sporting Goods, Foot Locker and Under Armour are among the numerous brands that have handed out layoffs.

But the SFIA survey revealed that companies see one clear area for growth investing in e-commerce. More than 50 percent of respondents said they were spending more on their respective sites. Companies are also investing more in digital and/or mobile ads 36 percent said they were doing just that.

In addition, brands reported improvement in distribution and fulfillment center supply chains, a key ingredient to expediting timely e-commerce sales. Fifty percent of those surveyed said that there were no delays in May, whereas only 32 percent said that there were no delays in April. All the recent indoor time has created a cottage industry of stay-at-home workouts and 30-day fitness challenges. Equinox, Barrys Boot Camp and scores of other cardio-enhancing organizations are using social media for live classes to try to get slouchers off the couch. Kettlebells and dumbbells can be tough to come by with more people exercising at home. Whether consumers run or rest, the unofficial pandemic wardrobe consists of T-shirts, hoodies and yoga pants for many.

To really rev up activewear, athletic footwear and sporting goods sales, companies are awaiting the return of organized amateur sports and the reopening of health clubs, gyms and fitness centers in a more significant way. At this point, 80 percent of respondents expect youth sports to return in September or October for the start of the next academic year. While public pools have reopened in many states in the U.S., thousands of health clubs, boutique fitness operations, yoga studios and gyms remain closed. The recent survey indicated that the expectation is for more of those outposts to welcome back members next month or in August. Respondents noted that the availability of a COVID-19 vaccine will be integral to the return of youth sports and the reopening of health clubs and fitness studios.

Although this summers Olympics in Tokyo have been postponed until next summer, sports fans still have the U.S. Open to look forward to in August.

Sport and Fitness Industry Sees Long Road Ahead, But Some Progress - WWD

If you started running during lockdown, you might have occasionally heard a little voice in your head telling you to stop. But for an ever-increasing number of people, that naysayer is being drowned out by someone else. Hes called Beefy.

Beefy or Cory Wharton-Malcolm, as hes also known is a real live running coach who lives in Sydenham, south-east London, but hes also a disembodied voice, travelling with millions of people at once, telling more times than the talking clock. This version of Beefy lives in your phone, and as you plod your way up that hill and think fondly of the sofa, he says things like thank you and run easy and, for some reason, you keep going.

Wharton-Malcolm, 41, is one of a myriad of pre-recorded coaches who have become a staple of lockdown exercise for adherents all over the planet. Fitness apps were huge business before solitary exercise became our only hope of leaving the house but now they are bigger still, one of the winners of the pandemic, and the super-enthusiastic voice in your ear is the breakout star of the genre.

The thinking behind the apps is simple enough. You pick a distance or a time, from a few minutes to a marathon. When you hit certain waypoints, the music fades, and up pops Beefy, or one of his colleagues or competitors, to tell you how wonderful you are.

Its amazing how many people have found the app, and then found my voice and connected with it, said the real Wharton-Malcolm, on the phone shortly after his digital analogue in the Nike Run Club app ignored my complaints and drove me through some particularly brutal interval runs.

He estimates hes getting about three times as many messages from listeners each day as he did before the pandemic struck. This week he signed up with a talent management agency, and there has been talk of a book.

People say they didnt touch running with a bargepole prior to the pandemic, but because theyve been locked inside, theyre up for it, he said. They say since finding your voice and a little bit of calm, theyve started to enjoy it. I think people are in search of human connection.

Mobile data and analytics provider App Annie says downloads in April and May of health and fitness apps have rocketed to 64.5m a week, a rise of 65% worldwide compared with January and February. In the UK, users are spending about 70% more time with their virtual coaches each week.

The Nike app has risen from 41st most popular to fourth in the UK. There are also substantial rises for rivals such as Fitbit Coach and Peloton.

We saw a lot of fitness apps spike early on, said Lexi Sydow, enior insights manager at App Annie. Its one of the standout categories people maybe being optimistic about their quarantine period. And these apps that do have a coaching element, they are ranking highly.

Unsurprisingly, the combination of relentless compliments, self-improvement, and a real-world version of the AI played by Scarlett Johannson in the film Her leads to some disproportionate levels of enthusiasm. @Bitbeefy you are a frikkin legend! Laura wrote on Instagram. Such a great run thanks for being with me! Shelly Mittal told his colleague, Nikes guru-like global head coach, Chris Bennett. And @Eleniid summarised what a lot of people seem to feel: I VERY MUCH NEED COACH CORY TO TELL ME JOB WELL DONE IN HIS HOT ACCENT FOR ME TO CONTINUE RUNNING!!!

Wharton-Malcolm, who describes himself as a recovering fat kid, is amused, but bashful. I definitely have received some expressions of love, he said. I am definitely flattered by it. But I have a missus.

So familiar have his honeyed tones become to devotees that he gets recognised and, presumably, fancied on the basis of his voice alone. I was stopped in Victoria station and this person was like I know that voice! he said. And in Amsterdam, I was coaching a group of runners, and I said, Come on, lets go, the kind of thing I say in the app and someone said, Wait, its coach Cory! That was weird.

Since the death of George Floyd, Wharton-Malcolm has used his substantial social media following to promote Black Lives Matter, posting videos such as a guided run through his neighbourhood talking about local businesses run by black people. More broadly, he sees a profound social benefit to exercise and coaching in an era of isolation.

Some people are just doing it for performance, yes, he said. But theres a search for camaraderie, for partnership. Were part of a community. And we all want someone to talk to. Or listen to, at least.

Planet Fitness will reopen 3 more facilities in central Pa. this week - PennLive

Anew training facility that caters to the needs of athletes and everyday fitness recently opened its first location in Scottsdale.

D1 Training opened to the public two weeks ago near the intersection of Scottsdale Road and East Joan de Arc Avenue. Owned by Scottsdale residents Mike and Kristen Baker, the 7,000-square-foot facility offers training for a wide variety of individual, including kids.

Everyone in here works with coaches in a group class that will help guide you in the right direction to meet your fitness goals, Kristen said. Our coaches can tailor to a 7-year-old and then turn it up a notch in the afternoon with a professional athlete. We want to create a community for everyone to come in and enjoy themselves.

Franchised by a slew of former and current professional athletes, including former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning and Denver Broncos Super Bowl MVP linebacker Von Miller, D1 has long been one of the premier training facilities in the Midwest and southeast part of the United States.

But when the Bakers saw an opportunity to franchise D1 and bring the concept to Arizona, it was one they couldnt pass up.

The D1 model itself is something we have always heard about, Mike said. The concept of an elite training facility regardless of what your athletic ability is, was appealing to both of us.

A former collegiate soccer player at Lambuth University in Tennessee, Mike knows the importance of a good training regimen. Kristen, who graduated from South Alabama with a sports medicine degree, has also been deeply involved with fitness. Both have extensive backgrounds in medical and pharmaceutical sales. Mike focused his profession solely on D1 after nearly 20 years in the business. Kristen, meanwhile, has over 10 years of experience and continues to work in the industry.

Together, they brought a new level of fitness training to the Valley.

Every training session at D1 is done in a group setting, lasting roughly 54 minutes. Coached by one of the gyms certified trainers, many of whom have achieved the highest level of certification for trainers, every workout highlights the five key elements athletic-based training: dynamic warm-up, performance, strength, core and conditioning and cool down.

The groups all vary by age. D1 caters to the Rookie (7-11), Developmental (12-14) and Prep (15-18). It also hosts boot camp and strength training groups for adults.

D1s coaches have the ability to not only provide general fitness for patrons, but some are able to provide sport-specific activities that can benefit athletes of all ages in any sport. The gym has already catered to as many as 20 professional athletes from a variety of different sports seeking a viable training option during the coronavirus pandemic.

The facility itself is outfitted with several strength and cardio machines, as well as free weights, resistance bands and other equipment to fulfill a full body workout. There is also an area with artificial turf, allowing for cardio training that closely resembles the same surface most athletes train on during the season.

So far, feedback has been positive.

The feedback has been extremely positive, Mike said. To have such a big brand and to see the names involved, along with the new facility, the turf and all the equipment, everyone is enjoying it. Its been very overwhelming and encouraging to see what has happened so far.

Both Mike and Kristen said they find joy in being able to bring a new level of training and fitness to Arizona, which as of late has become home to several up-and-coming athletes at all levels.

Especially right now with everything that is happening, its fulfilling to be able to provide a place that can almost be seen as an outlet to continue focusing on the goal youre trying to achieve, Kristen said. I just enjoy being able to provide that space for you no matter what level you may be at.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WSIL) A south suburban Illinois senator says Gov. JB Pritzker's working group on health and fitness is close to moving forward with their plans to reopen gyms.

Sen. Michael Hastings (D-Tinley Park) says many people don't have access to gym equipment at home. Now, there is a growing call to reopen the facilities. The group takes suggestions from the Illinois Department of Public Health and experts in the fitness industry.

Members are happy Pritzker allowed personal training and outdoor fitness classes to resume in Phase 3 of the Restore Illinois plan. However, that doesn't help the owners get over the current financial hurdle. "Getting inside and getting people back on the equipment will help these owners," Hastings said.

He explained many fitness centers have lost $20,000 to $50,000 per month since the pandemic started. The working group recommends Pritzker set aside $40 million from the Business Interruption Grant Program to help the fitness facilities. Hastings' group asked for the same financial assistance when they wrote a letter to Pritzker in May.

"I really truly believe whether it's reopening gradually or providing financial assistance, or doing both, we'll help preserve a lot of these small businesses. A lot of them are individual franchisees," Hastings said. "Gym owners are the true definition of hard workers because they have to be there to make sure the place runs."

He hopes Pritzker will also provide guidance to accelerate Phase 4 options for gym and fitness centers. The working group already has plans to implement social distancing and strict cleaning procedures for employees when the facilities reopen. They're still trying to figure out the best option for capacity requirements.

"Some fitness centers have different layouts. There's boutique fitness centers and there's large cap fitness centers. So, we take that into consideration," Hastings said.

Although outdoor workouts are permitted in Hoboken again, some of us have gotten into a nice routine of doing at-home workouts {theres something about doing downward dog in the comfort of our living rooms}. However, if youre one to indulge in a more intense workout at home, Michelle Ciancimino, a local personal trainer, Crossfit Level-1 Trainer, and ACE Certified personal trainer, is here to kick all of our butts into high gear with an easy guide.

Its important to note that when working out at home, remember to be extra careful and use your best judgment about what feels right for your body. Now put on some music, your favorite workout gear, and get to work heres your guide to some at-home workout exercises:

A 10-minute warm-up on your own before starting your workout is always a good idea to get your body moving, blood flowing, and heart rate up. Any warm-up that you would normally do in your favorite exercise class or at the gym would work well such as jogging in place, jumping jacks, downward dog walk-outs, and more.

First, do 250 squats. Michelle suggests starting with sets of 20-30 on the squats and reducing to sets of 10-15 towards the end.

Next, do 100 push-ups. For the push-ups, stick to 10 sets of 10. Modified push-ups can be done such as hand-release push-ups or knee push-ups. Be sure to take small breaks in between, no more than 30 seconds.

Then, do four rounds of straight-arm planks.

Every three minutes for eight rounds, do 12 dumbbell clean + jerks. You should finish each round around 2:30 minutes, with 30 seconds to rest. If your dumbbells feel light during your workout, use both for the clean and jerks. If your dumbbells are heavy, use one and do six reps on each side.

Then, do 12 lunges with the dumbbell in the front rack. Net, do 12 burpees, followed by a two-minute rest.

Then for six rounds, do three minutes of Hollow Hold Tabata. Basically a hollow hold starts with you laying on the ground. Then you simply lift your legs up about six inches. Your shoulder blades should come off the floor and lower back pressed to the floor.

First, do five rounds of 14 dumbbell overhead presses, 30-secondbutt kicks, and then rest for 30 seconds.

First, do six rounds20 step-ups, 45-second wall sits, and 30-second high knees. Make sure whatever you are using for step-ups is stable, keep your back against the wall for the wall sit, and make sure your knees are above your ankles for the wall sit.

Then, do three rounds of30-seconds jumping squats, 30 seconds jumping lunges, and then rest for 30 seconds. For the jump squats, make sure you jump as high as you can but try to land softly. For the jumping lunges, make sure your whole foot lands on the ground each time.

First, get outside and go for a 25-35 minute run. After that, stretch. Do two minutes of pigeon pose left, two minutes of pigeon pose right, and a two-minute squat hold {pushing your knees out with your elbows}. All of this is followed by 15 Supermans and 15 downward dog to plank motions. Dont be afraid to add in any other stretches your body is calling for, either.

This is your rest day. Just indulge in a 10-minute {minimum} meditation. Mental health is so important just sit down for at least 10 minutes and breathe.A little goes a long way!

Time to jump back in. First, do six rounds of 12 dumbbell deadlifts, 10 dumbbell curls, and eight tricep dips. For the dumbbell curls, do five on the right and five on the left. If your dumbbells are too light, use two dumbbells and do 12 curls using both arms at once. Finally, do six Turkish get-ups using one dumbbell. For these, do three holding the dumbbell in the right hand, then switch to the left.

A memo obtained by The Athletic details the NBAs plans to play out the remainder of the 2019-2020 season, beginning at the end of June. Its a fairly detailed return to action for the league, including some notable tidbits, like, It is critical that every player understand that he has the right to choose not to return to play.

Sports are undoubtedly an important part of a society attempting a return to normality, as a much-needed distraction from the day to day horror show of 2020. But such close-quarter activities ought to come with a fair number of safeguards amid such a highly contagious pandemic.

Amid a long list of guidelines for a season broken down week by week is a surprise inclusion of the Oura smart ring. The letter notes that the wearable may help with the early detection of the coronavirus and will track temperature, respiratory and heart rate and other measures. The league says players will have the option of wearing the ring as a kind of safeguard designed to pick up on COVID-19 warning signs.

Researchers have been interested in using the ring as a detection system for several months now. Back in March, UCSF initiated a study using thousands of front-line health workers, tracking temperature, sleep and other health stats.

In this context, the rings only work as a small part of a much larger puzzle (the full plan runs 113 pages). Its one that invariably needs to include regular temperature screenings and testing the latter of which is key in avoiding the documented spread among asymptotic carriers. Major League Baseball is similarly attempting to start a long-postponed season, though conflicts between owners and players appear to be at an impasse.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS A local gym owner with an extraordinary ability to inspire and help others received the Individual Philanthropist of the Year award from the Yampa Valley Community Foundation on Wednesday.

Graham Muir received some unexpected guests before his first class at his Manic Training workout gym when members of the Community Foundation surprised him with the award. Given annually, it recognizes those who exhibit significant charitable giving, insightful leadership and volunteerism and who encourage others to contribute by example.

He is, in my opinion, the epitome of who should get the Philanthropist of the Year award, said LauraCusenbary, a former member of the Community Foundation board who has nominated Muir multiple times.

A New Zealand native, Muir has amassed a devoted following of clients at his gym where he emphasizes exercise as a way to not only achieve fitness goals but to gain valuable insights on living a better life.

Support Local JournalismDonate

Im not one of his disciples, but he just has that charisma that motivates people in such a positive way,Cusenbary said.

Outside of the gym, Muir takes an active role in supporting charitable causes and rallying the community to help nonprofit organizations. By Cusenbarys count, he personally enlisted half of the participants of last years Codys Challenge and consistently garners a large turnout for the Tour de Steamboat race.

When Muir sees that an event or a cause is important to someone and provides benefits to the community, he does all he can to help make it a success, Cusenbary said.

That is what happened when Mara McManus Rhodes started attending Manic Training in 2015. Rhodes had recently lost her brother to an opioid overdose and founded a nonprofit in his name, theMark McManus Foundation, as well as the Rx Task Force, to address the issue of addiction locally.

As Rhodes explained, it was a fledgling effort when she met Muir, but after he learned about her work, he vowed to help.In 2016, Muir organized the Manic Task Force Challenge, an exercise fundraiser at theWhistler Park rugby fields. In a single day, the event raised more than $25,000 for Rhodes foundation, she said.

Without Graham, my foundation wouldnt really exist, Rhodes said.

Apart from his philanthropic accolades, Graham has achieved impressive physical feats of his own. Last May, hepedaled a fat bike 350 miles across the Alaskan tundra in the Iditarod Trail Invitational. Prior to the race, he took up the challenge of biking Lane of Pain, a grueling section of dirt road at the top of Emerald Mountain, 100 times within the same number of days to raise money for children of the villages he would be traveling through in Alaska.

Muir has been a catalyst for others looking to achieve great things.

Rhodes remembers when she was preparing for her first major bike race, a 150-mile trek through Utah called the Kokopelli. As the start of the race drew nearer, Rhodes doubted whether she could do it.

Graham looked at me and he said, You have been through so many hard things. This isnt going to be hard. This is going to be fun, Rhodes recalled.

It is that type of encouragement that Muir offers everyone in his Manic Training classes.

A lot of people who work out at Manic have overcome a lot of things, Rhodes said, from physical disabilities to the loss of a loved one. Its not just about the workout. Its how you feel about yourself and how you give back to the people around you.

Muir is the final recipient of this years round of philanthropy awards. The owners of Ace Hardware in Steamboat Springswon Business Philanthropist of the Year for donating more than $1 million to local nonprofits over their 36 years in business.Maddie Craigen, a recent Steamboat Springs High School graduate, received theYouth Philanthropist of the Yearaward.
