Social-Distance-Friendly Fitness Center?
Quarantine relief for the health seeking self-quarantined FREE in northern VA

Alexandria, VA, March 18th, 2020 - The well informed, health seeking, fitness starved, self-quarantined people of northern VA are dying inside... Literally inside. In their living rooms. In their basements. Anywhere they can find some room to do some pushups or crunches. Big box gyms are being specifically called out during the COVID-19 scare because they cannot realistically limit the number of occupants nor do they care to remain open for a crowd as small as 10 people. Let alone that their sheer size allows for cleanliness to be neglected from time to time. Our team believes that we can help.
We are a small sports physical therapy company in Alexandria and operate out of a roomy and well equipped 4,000 square foot facility. During our normal working hours, we only work with one client at a time for appointments spanning 60 minutes. During that time, our fitness center, which makes up more than 2/3 of our facility, sits quietly.

We have started taking our first Quarantine Relief Project clients. When social distancing limits allow (max occupancy of 10), we are offering open-gym time slots for individuals that are currently shut out of their big box gym. All they need is to show that they have an active membership to a local fitness center to utilize this program FREE for 30 days. This would allow for up to 150 hours of exercise time per week for those currently trying to figure out how many different kinds of push up they can do in their living room.

This health scare is rightfully causing interruptions in day to day routines. We are being told to self-quarantine when possible and remain diligent about social distancing and cleanliness habits to 'flatten the curve'. At the same time, we are being urged to get exercise and try to remain fit to slow this viral process and keep each other well; a role that big box gyms and commercial fitness centers have filled to this point.

Small physical medicine clinics like ours can easily maintain a sanitary environment with crowd sizes well within safe parameters. All Quarantine Relief Project clients can safely avoid unnecessary contact with others and have room to spare.
