The New Year from 2019 to 2020 birthed a changed global landscape with the outbreak of COVID-19, a severe acute respiratory syndrome virus (SARS-CoV-2), and consequent lockdown regulations throughout the world. As we move into our fitness space, the Fitness Professional needs to be fully equipped with understanding how diseases spread to ensure the safety of both themselves and their clients.

This manual will take the Fitness Professional through the critical components of the use and disposal of protective equipment, protocols for cleaning and sanitation and how to engage with their client without placing them at risk.

As we move into the future, Fitness Professionals as well as the whole fitness industry, needs to take a new look at the way we operate. Not only are we fighting a battle of inactivity, non-communicable diseases, obesity and the like, but we now are fighting a battle against the unseen: micro-organisms.

This course is suitable for all Professionals and levels of staff in a fitness facility.
