Please be aware the best way to keep yourself safe when attending a fitness class - Below will help your safety with the definition of close contact which "Track and Trace (See above)" Use to determine self isolation
What is meant by a ‘contact’
A ‘contact’ is a person who has been close to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 anytime from 2 days before the person was symptomatic up to 10 days from onset of symptoms (this is when they are infectious to others). For example, a contact can be:
· people who spend significant time in the same household as a person who has tested positive for COVID-19
· sexual partners
· a person who has had face-to-face contact (within one metre), with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, including:
· being coughed on
· having a face-to-face conversation within one metre
· having skin-to-skin physical contact, or
· contact within one metre for one minute or longer without face-to-face contact
· a person who has been within 2 metres of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 for more than 15 minutes
· a person who has travelled in a small vehicle with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 or in a large vehicle or plane near someone who has tested positive for COVID-19
Where an interaction between 2 people has taken place through a Perspex (or equivalent) screen, this would not be considered sufficient contact, provided that there has been no other contact such as any of those indicated above.
Contacts of a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 need to self-isolate at home because they are at risk of developing symptoms themselves in the next 14 days and could spread the virus to others before the symptoms begin
If you are a contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, then you will be notified by the NHS Test and Trace service via text message, email or phone. If you are notified, please follow the guidance in this document closely.
If you have not been notified that you are a contact, this means you do not need to self-isolate and should follow the general guidance, for example, social distancing, hand-washing, and covering coughs and sneezes.
If possible please bring your own Hand Sanitiser
We will have space for valuables (Please limit this) but we are currently suggesting that you bring wipes when collecting to avoid cross contamination or bring your own bag which we will leave in safe place by the session
For further prevention is we are suggesting that you bring your own bag and can leave in safe area/ locked in the van or bring a fitness belt / sport belt for your keys/ phone
We will have hand sanitiser available.
We are encouraging members to bring their own equipment. In sessions that we use equipment, they will have been sanitised before the session and not to be shared with any other participant in that specific class (Unless fully sanitised before somebody else uses it.) They will be sanitised at the end of the class and before a different group uses the equipment.
Please note we ask participants not to swap equipment and our trainers are doing everything they can do avoid any cross contamination with the safety of our members there upmost priority.
Risk Assesememt
To the best of our knowledge we have review and made everything as safe as possible for Participates and instructors for a safe return to classes. Following the guidlines on the Government Website
From 29th March – date subject to four tests being met
Please note as of 29th March, people will no longer be legally required to Stay at Home,
although lockdown restrictions will remain in place
Pad work is still not permitted in a fitness environment. We are continuing to work with Sport
England and England Boxing to map correctly to their guidance for our sector.
Participants should not mix before or after the class and instructors should ensure all COVID-19 guidelines in are adhered to.
There are exceptions on class sizes for indoor disability sport, sport for educational purposes and supervised sport and physical activity for under-18s, which can take place with larger groups mixing.

I joined UK Fitness nearly a year ago and have thoroughly enjoyed every single class both outdoors and the online classes during lockdown . All the trainers are fantastic and even though they push you it’s always with a smile and plenty of banter. The classes cater for all abilities and ages with help and alternative exercises when you need it. Paul is the most positive person I have ever met & through these difficult times has kept everyone motivated with his upbeat attitude offering advice and support to us all . The online zoom classes have been an absolute lifeline to keep us all positive, fit and well. I am loving my fitness journey with UK Outdoor Fitness and can’t recommend them highly enough
