Inside the Masters Fitness Collective Championship's Plan to Protect Athlete, Spectator Safety | Morning Chalk Up

When Bobby Petras decided to throw a masters-only individual fitness competition back in May, he was looking to provide an appropriate conclusion to the 2020 season for those athletes after their CrossFit Games opportunity was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What he came up with was the Masters Fitness Collective Championshipand as the competition director he knew he needed to address the concerns that led him to even consider holding the event, the ability to throw a safe competition, not only forathletes but also for volunteers and staff and hopefully spectators.

Knowing the threat:Petras knows the threat that COVID-19 presents better than most people. He and his sister Sevy own and operate Priority Life Care, an assisted and senior living company that runs and operates over 30 facilities across the country. Their facilities were at ground-zero in the early part of the pandemic and they quickly jumped into action to protect their community. They worked with local health organizations, the CDC and other health entities to establish protocols and safety measures that assured not just prevention but also the spread of the virus.

Lessons learned:Petras also runs his own affiliate Mad Apple Fitness in Fort Wayne, IN and used what he learned running his assisted care facilities to safely reopen his gym to members and used that knowledge to come up with the various safety protocols that he has put in place for the Masters Fitness Collective Championships on August 20-23 in Fort Wayne. Here are some of the measures they are taking with the athletes, volunteers, staff and spectators.

The bottom line:Petras and his staff have used their expertise and connections to the health industry to put together what he believes is a new standard for hosting a safe, high-level competition.
