Earlier today, Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave gyms in England the green light to reopen on April 12.
After months of being forced to workout at home, fitness fans can finally see the end in sight, and it couldn't come a moment sooner.
But if you are planning to visit a gym, you'll need to make sure you're following the rules that have been put in place to keep everybody safe.
Here are all the rules you'll need to follow, according to the Mirror :
When will gyms reopen?
From April 12 indoor gym facilities and leisure centres will be fully opened, allowing people to say goodbye to their home workouts for good.
Equipment such as squat racks, dumbbells and running machines will all be available to use again.
Be sure to check your gym's website on how to book, guidelines and what you need to do when visiting.
Social distancing will still be in place, and until May 17 you will not be allowed to mix indoors with anybody outside your household.
Gym facilities and equipment indoors will still be spaced apart with the rule of two-metres remaining along with the extra cleaning procedures in place.
If you’re planning to visit outdoor gym facilities from March 29 here are the rules you’ll still need to follow when exercising outdoors:
- Social distancing - keeping two-meters apart from anyone outside of your household when outdoors
- Two households or up to a group of six people can meet outdoors, including meeting for a game of tennis or outdoor fitness class if on offer
- Face masks are not necessary when outside, but must still be worn if you are walking through a leisure or gym to get to your outdoor activity
