With gyms getting the green light to open on Sunday, many centres restricted the first day to Dussehra poojas and are set to start their fitness training for members today.

Gyms have their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) chalked out — rules range from restricting members to 50 per cent and a by-appointment-only calendar, to stopping all group activities like yoga, Zumba, spinning in groups as these are still disallowed. They also have rules for wearing masks and shields, different for different centres. Face shields are the preferable option as it is difficult to train and one should not, in fact, train hard with a mask on as breathing gets restricted.
