After three months off, gyms across the west have opened their doors this week.
Theresa Stefanovski, who runs CS Fitness in Caroline Springs, said it was good to welcome locals back into the gym for a workout after an extended break.
“We were doing really well, but unfortunately, like everyone else we had to close our doors,” Ms Stefanovski said.
“We’ve had people contacting us all through the shut down asking when we were opening up again, so it’s good to finally have people back.
“People have been hanging out for this.”
While the gym is normally open 24/7, the current restrictions will only allow the gym to operate during staffed hours, which will likely be from early morning until 9pm.
There will also still be some restrictions in place on the number of people allowed in the gym.
“We’ll only be able to have 20 people in there at a time, and we’ll have to monitor that really closely because we won’t have a booking system,” Ms Stefanovksi said.
“On top of that we’ll have extra hand sanitizer around the gym, people will have to bring their own water, and we’ll be turning people away if they don’t bring their own towel.
“Apart from that, it’s just common sense. Don’t come if you’re sick, but get back in and start enjoying the gym again.”
