SPECIAL ISSUE: ROAD MAP TO REOPENING THE FITNESS INDUSTRY

In some very welcomed news, Australian State and Territory Governments have started to ease restrictions placed upon outdoor and indoor spaces for exercise purposes. This provides a glimmer of hope that the removal of many more restrictions will take place in the near future and the fitness industry can finally swing open the doors of gyms and studios around the country.

GYYMI has done a bit of leg work for you and below is the result. We've including the current state of play for all states and territories relating to outdoor training and in some cases such as the Northern Territory and Western Australia where indoor spaces are now open for business under strict social distancing and sanitisation measures. The easing of restrictions are a fluid thing, so we implore you to check the various state or territory websites in your region, to get up to date and accurate information for your business purposes.

These guys are ahead of rest of the country as you can already run bootcamp outdoors of up to 10 people but the great news is that from Friday 15^th May, operate or attend a studio that provides yoga, Pilates, Zumba, barre, dance classes. Operate or attend physical training activities indoors such as Cross Fit. Operate and attend a gymnasium.
