California Gym Unveils Individual Workout 'Pods' for People to Exercise Safely Without Masks

"If you stand in the middle of the pods, you’re at least 10 feet apart," said Sapsin. "We turn off the AC the entire time and open up all our doors and have fans that push the air out."

Inspire shared glimpses of the new setup on Instagram, walking followers through the space during a class as clients exercised inside the enclosures.

Gyms across the country are set to begin reopening after months of closed doors. The chain Planet Fitness told Today that, among its new precautions are regular temperature checks for employees. Staffers will also undergo "extensive" sanitization training.

A spokesperson added that part of its "thorough cleaning" measures will be "walk-arounds every 20 minutes by our team to continually clean and sanitize high-touch areas."
