INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) Health and fitness clubs are among the businesses waiting to get the go-ahead to reopen. While the Governor hasn't indicated when that might happen, many are getting ready.

Matt Clark is the regional manager for three Orange Theory studios in central Indiana, including one in downtown Indianapolis. Tuesday afternoon, he and the studio manager were there running through a checklist.

For one, they were seeing how long it will take to wipe down and sanitize all the equipment between classes.

"We're going to be disinfecting and cleaning like crazy," Clark said, which includes having an electrostatic fogging company come in once a week to spray the studio with disinfectants.

Members will see other changes as well. Classes will be shorter. People used to a 60- to 90-minute workout will be taking 45-minute classes instead, giving staff more time to clean in between.

Classes, which involve moving from treadmills to rowing machines and the weight room, will also be smaller.

"To make sure no one is sharing equipment and to prevent the spread of the virus, everyone will have their own equipment and it will be limited to 15 people per class," Clark said. That's compared to the typical 45-person class.

Members will have to wear face masks and the coaches: goggles and face shields.

And everyone entering the studio will be asked about symptoms and have their temperatures taken with a forehead thermometer to get an instant reading.

"Anyone over 100 Fahrenheit will be asked to leave and self-isolate until they're symptom-free," Clark said.

Another big change? The showers and lockers will be off limits.

"We're asking that members just come in with their water bottles, keys and work out towels, just the bare necessities for class," Clark said.

A no-frills workout to be sure, but with most gyms closed six weeks and counting, many fitness buffs will be no doubt be pumped up just to get back into a routine.
