​What are EQUIVITA’S new health and safety protocols in response to COVID-19?

What will be different for clients?

​Online scheduling has been disabled to ensure staff can consider the entire facility when scheduling. To schedule an appointment, please call 614.298.8781 or text 614.805.8252.
 
  • When you arrive please stay in your car and text 614.805.8252 the front desk to say that you have arrived.
 
  • Your service provider will greet you at the 1508 entrance of Hess St. We will not be using the 1510 entrance at this time.    
 
  • Massage clients must wear a mask.
 
  • If you are using a credit card for payment, consider paying online before your appointment; gratuity can be added. We are also able to take your payment in person at the facility.  
 
  • Bottled drinks can be purchased, but drinking fountains and water dispensers will not be available.
 
  • Showers are not available for use. 
 
  • No magazines are available.
 
  • Cardio time will be limited, please check with your trainer for specifics and scheduling.
 
  • Inside the massage room there is hand sanitizer for you to use. Hand sanitizer will continue to be available in the fitness studio for you to use.​

What we are doing:

  • We will be wearing a mask for all services.  

  • We will be cleaning all surfaces after each client.  

  • We will be operating with fewer staff in the building to ensure we can keep safe distances. Our facility schedule will be changed/limited to ensure our ability to keep safe distances and allow adequate time to properly clean and sanitize between appointments. 

  • Massage therapists will be wearing a smock/apron changed after each appointment.
 
  • Conversations may feel limited because masks are already uncomfortable.

In person group instruction protocols:

Health Screening
Please conduct a self-health assessment before arriving to the studio. If you are feeling unwell and displaying symptoms such as fever, shortness of breath or cough, do not attend class.
