announcement allowing the legal reopening of indoor fitness and leisure facilities from Saturday, 25 July, in England.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement follows work between the Government, ukactive and Sport England to agree a safe plan for reopening gyms, leisure centres and other indoor facilities, including the development of new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/working-safely-during-coronavirus-covid-19\/providers-of-grassroots-sport-and-gym-leisure-facilities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Government guidance<\/a> also announced today.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, ukactive hosted a delegation of Government, Sport England and public health officials including Deputy Chief Medical Officer Professor Jonathan Van-Tam and a member of the SAGE team, on visits to a number of its members\u2019 sites to demonstrate how the sector is setting up its facilities safely.<\/p>\n<p>The decision means that indoor gyms and leisure facilities will be able to reopen legally, so long as they meet the requirements contained within the Government\u2019s guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Called \u2018Operating safely during COVID-19 for providers of grassroots sport and gym\/leisure facilities\u2019, the new guidance credits the work of ukactive and its members, who proactively proposed practical, responsible and safe measures for the reopening of facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Following the forced closure of fitness and leisure facilities on 20 March, ukactive has been bringing together the expertise and input of representative members from across the private and public sector to inform both its lobbying activity and sector safety plans.<\/p>\n<p>ukactive\u2019s consultation led to the release in May of the recommended framework for reopening, which was provided to the Government to help inform its official guidance.<\/p>\n<p>The Government guidance covers the key operational considerations for reopening, and is supported by an updated edition of <a href=\"https:\/\/ukactive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Covid-19-A-framework-for-the-re-opening-of-the-gym-and-fitness-industry-V2.pdf\">ukactive\u2019s framework<\/a> which complements the guidance by providing further information for operators.<\/p>\n<p>As gyms, leisure facilities and other providers continue to prepare their sites and workforce for reopening, ukactive\u2019s newly launched <a href=\"https:\/\/ukactive.com\/cy\/news\/ukactive-launches-fit-together-campaign-to-lead-safe-reopening-of-gyms-and-leisure-facilities\/\">Fit Together<\/a> campaign will provide practical <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.ukactive.com\/toolkit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tools and resources<\/a> for operators.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Fit Together, a new programme of <a href=\"https:\/\/ukactive.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_Ubu60ZzzTCeIrk-vY1PGpQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">webinars<\/a> will provide commentary and insight on the guidance, addressing key areas such as risk assessments. ukactive\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/ukactive.com\/cy\/reports\/covid-19-impact-report-the-fitness-and-leisure-sectors-path-to-recovery\/\">COVID-19 Impact Report<\/a> will also be updated to show revised modelling for the recovery.<\/p>\n<p>ukactive will continue to work with the Government and sector partners to establish the further support required by many organisations throughout the reopening phase, from Government support for upcoming rent payments, to increased support for jobs and staff on furlough, and ring-fenced funding to sustain public leisure operators.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meddai Huw Edwards, Prif Weithredwr ukactive:<\/strong> \u201cToday\u2019s confirmed reopening date means an end to much of the uncertainty for thousands of leisure facilities and their staff in England, as well as millions of customers looking forward to their return.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a health crisis, so we now look forward to playing our central role \u2013 using our facilities and staff to help combat COVID-19 by strengthening the physical and mental health of people in every community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also welcome the publication of the Government\u2019s guidance, which credits the work of ukactive and its members, who proactively proposed practical, responsible and safe measures for the reopening of facilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that many people have missed their favourite activities, workouts and sports over the past four months, and will be keen to return when their local facilities reopen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe health and safety of staff and customers is the number one priority for our sector.\u00a0Having demonstrated to Government and public health officials the hygiene and social distancing measures in place, our sector looks forward to showing customers they can return to their gyms and leisure facilities safely and confidently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to stress that we are not yet out of the woods, as we seek to secure urgent <a href=\"https:\/\/ukactive.com\/cy\/news\/ukactive-calls-for-stimulus-package-to-put-physical-activity-at-heart-of-recovery\/\">cymorth ariannol<\/a> from the Government to ensure that reopening is financially viable, both for private and public operators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecognising that there are different strategies across the UK\u2019s devolved governments, it is vital that they work with us to deliver successful reopening plans across Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, with the latter set to reopen gyms tomorrow (Friday).\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dywedodd Tim Hollingsworth, Prif Weithredwr Sport England:<\/strong> \u201cFor the millions of people who have missed going to the gym, playing their favourite sport indoors, heading for a swim or training with their teammates, today\u2019s news is an important step forward and testament to the hard work so many have put in to preparing to restart and reopen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now, more than ever, there is recognition of the vital role sport and activity plays in supporting people\u2019s physical and mental health so there is a massive opportunity as we emerge from lockdown to truly embrace the idea that exercise is essential to our wellbeing and to recognise the opportunities all around us to be more active.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are also acutely aware that many providers, specifically public leisure centres which are such valuable assets in their communities, are facing significant financial challenges and many are at risk of being unable to reopen fully or may remain closed. We will continue to work closely with government and key partners to help these operators to get as much as support as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dywedwch Tara Dillon, Prif Swyddog Gweithredol CIMSPA: <\/strong>\u201cWe are delighted that the sector in England has finally been given the go-ahead to reopen indoor sports, fitness and leisure facilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe hundreds of thousands of dedicated people who work in the sector can now plan to get back to work safely and help millions of people to stay fit and healthy, which in itself is one of the best ways to combat the threat of Covid-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are also in close consultation with the Government on the potential to increase the numbers that can take part in group training outdoors, with social distancing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark Tweedie, Chief\u00a0Executive\u00a0of Community\u00a0Leisure\u00a0UK, said:<\/strong> &#8220;Half the population use indoor facilities\u00a0and leisure\u00a0centres to undertake\u00a0their regular exercise so this news is important to the majority\u00a0of the population.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It will really help people to build back their physical and mental health after a prolonged\u00a0lockdown period and will mean some of most vulnerable people in our society can use leisure facilities to build resilience\u00a0to Coronavirus and to rehabilitate if they are in the recovery phase.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We now\u00a0need to focus\u00a0attention on the need for ring-fenced Government financial support\u00a0for public leisure\u00a0services, without which\u00a0we will see many of our cherished\u00a0community leisure centres unable to open, and for those that do, many will become unsustainable because of significantly\u00a0reduced income due to social\u00a0distancing measures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>To read ukactive\u2019s initial press statement in full, <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ukactive.com\/cy\/news\/ukactive-statement-on-government-announcement-of-25-july-reopening-date-for-fitness-and-leisure-facilities-in-england\/\"><strong>cliciwch yma<\/strong><\/a><strong>. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>To <\/strong><strong>view the official Government guidance and download ukactive\u2019s supporting documents, visit the <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ukactive.com\/cy\/covid-19\/\"><strong>canolfan COVID-19 ukactive<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ukactive has welcomed the Government\u2019s announcement allowing the legal reopening of indoor fitness and leisure facilities from Saturday, 25 July, in England.
