- There will be a half hour cleaning period between each booking slot
- There will be no organised classes at the moment
- There will be free programs for those who usually attend classes and need some guidance
- Personal training sessions will still run with a maximum of 2 people at a time

Personal training clients will hear from their trainers regarding their time slots.
"These measures are on trial and with everyone's cooperation and compliance with safety requirements Plains Fitness staff and council will continue to review the situation and make changes as necessary," Liverpool Plains Shire Council mayor Andrew Hope said.
"It is great news that those who have missed their exercise/fitness regime during the virus shutdowns can once again participate in what they love doing."
But Cr Hope emphasised that it was important for everyone "to play their part with best social distancing and hygiene practices".
"If you are sick please postpone your visit until you are better," he said.
Any questions can be sent via message to the Plains Fitness Facebook page, by calling the centre on 6746 3122 or emailing info@plainsfitness.com.au
