Safety measures

Welcome back! Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a new policy that requires people to show proof of their Covid-19 vaccination in order to work out at gyms in New York City. Therefore, all members and trainers of Elysium must have a valid vaccination certificate in paper or digital form on file. Please bring in a printed copy of your Excelsior Pass or Covid-19 Vaccination Pass or send us a screenshot or photo of your pass to our email - elysiumfitness72@gmail.com.

Below are some additional steps we have taken to ensure the safety of our members, trainers, and staff.

  • We have installed hospital grade MERV 13 Air Filters in our AC unit which capture viruses carrying particles less than one micron in size. 

  • We have installed additional touchless paper towel dispensers along with hand sanitizers and disinfectant wipes in each room.

  • We have removed one third of our cardio equipment in order to facilitate social distancing.

  • Safety tape has been placed in strategic places to indicate private training spaces and to assist in maintaining a minimum of 6 feet for social distancing throughout the gym. 

  • Our showers will be closed for the immediate future. 

  • Elysium will be providing face coverings to all staff members and anyone else that needs them.

  • To ensure contactless transactions, we have created an online booking system using the Mindbody app. All personal training sessions must be reserved and paid for in advance by the trainers only. Read more about our online booking system here.

  • The number of training sessions per hour will be reduced by 66%. There will now be a limit of 5 sessions per hour in order to maintain proper social distance requirements. 

  • Our new temporary club hours will be:

    • Monday - Friday: 7am - 7pm

    • Saturday 8am - 12pm

    • Sunday - 8am - 12 pm

  • All members will have their previously frozen membership reactivated after their first visit back to the gym.

  • Please bring a bag to place your extra clothes and personal belongings in. There will be limited lockers available for storage of your items. 

  • The waiting area will have limited seating, therefore we request that you arrive as close to your reserved time as possible.    

  • We ask that trainers and members wipe down all equipment before and after each use. Disinfectant spray bottles and paper towels will be available in each room.

  • Please cancel your appointment if you have exhibited a fever, sore throat, coughing, shortness of breath or flu-like symptoms outside of a chronic health condition within the last 14 days.

  • All members and trainers will have to sign a new Covid-19 Liability Waiver before their first session back. Please fill it out through this link or upon your first visit back to the gym.
