You’ve more than likely come across some of the motivational tips and advice the team have been posting on social media over the duration of lockdown - we’re sure many’s the home workout were attempted with bags of sugar on bedroom floors around Galway! Since reopening, Snap Fitness have had to switch up how they operate in line with COVID-19 measures, including the implementation of sanitising stations, spaced out machines, regular deep cleans and an online booking system through the GloFox App. Capping group classes at seven people, keeping sessions to 90-minute slots and ensuring no more than 40 people in the gym at any given time, they’ve made a serious effort.
