Coronavirus Prevention Measures

The health and safety of our community is our top priority at Minneapolis Boxing Club. With the growing concerns around the Coronavirus outbreak we want to be proactive, putting measures in place to support the health of this community and doing our part to remain a clean, comfortable and safe environment for everyone who walks through our doors. We are always fully committed to your health and we appreciate your efforts to help keep us all in fighting shape!

Please read the following update on how we are fighting this and what you can do to help!

WHAT WE ARE DOING:

  • KEEPING IT CLEAN. We will continue a regular and thorough cleaning routine to ensure that all surfaces, equipment, bags and mats are as clean as possible. This includes the other businesses in the building - it’s a team effort!

  • PROVIDING WIPES/HAND SANITIZER AT "HIGH TRAFFIC" POINTS. We have made hand sanitizer available at the entry and near the ring. Disinfectant wipes will also continue to be available so you can wipe down your equipment before and after use.

  • NO MORE COMMUNITY HAND WRAPS. We’ve shelved our community hand wraps for the time being and now have hand wraps for sale in the gym ($10/pair). Gloves will continue to be available for use, but we ask that you clean them thoroughly before and after use. When you are finished with them wipe them down and spray the insides using the blue spray bottles located on top of the glove shelf. 

  • INSTALLATION OF PAPER TOWEL DISPENSERS IN THE BATHROOMS. Just... YAY!!

  • TRAINERS ARE REQUIRED TO WASH HANDS BEFORE AND AFTER EACH CLASS AND APPOINTMENT. This isn’t new, just felt like an important shout-out. ;)

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:

  • WASH YOUR HANDS AND AVOID TOUCHING YOUR FACE. Please take a minute to wash your hands before and after each class or training session. Use soap and warm water, sing the alphabet (or count to 20), and avoid touching door handles immediately afterward. 

  • RECOVERY IS KEY. If you’re not feeling well or suspect that you’re coming down with something, take care of yourself and stay home. We’ll be here for you when you’re ready to get the gloves back on! :)

  • USE YOUR OWN WRAPS/GLOVES (THEN TAKE THEM WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO). Use your own gloves if you have them and and please take all personal equipment home to clean it appropriately when your daily training is over.

  • CLEAN YOUR EQUIPMENT. Wipes and spray bottles with cleaning solution will be available for you to clean your space before and after class. Please take a moment to wipe all equipment down before and after use.

Most importantly - DON’T PANIC! We are actively monitoring updates from the CDC and they are not currently recommending that people in the United States make drastic changes to their daily routines. So... just keep on keeping on. Also, feel free to visit their website HERE to stay current on the latest information.

Remember, “we all do better when we all do better.” Take care of yourselves, take care of each other, and if you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to reach out. We will keep you up-to-date on this important issue as things evolve. In the meantime we'll see you in the gym!

Thanks gang!
