Acupuncture Happy hour

1/26/2023

RESERVE YOUR SPOT HERE
Imagine this:
You're in a room with dimmed lights, soft music playing, and Evanston acupuncturist Dr. Melanie Katin, L.Ac. who's putting 2-5 tiny needles in your ears. Then you full-on bliss out for 20 minutes.
​

Amazing, right? Just wait:
Afterwards, you get to enjoy a little healthy chef-prepared nosh and drink, and enjoy the evening with friends.

If this is your first experience with acupuncture, you will be amazed how little you feel when the pins are inserted and how much you relax. The state of relaxation that acupuncture evokes is deep, an Acu-High, but all natural.
​
Treat yourself to some early evening TLC! You. Will. LOVE. It :)

WE HAVE REOPENED!

5/20/2020

UPDATED JUNE 16, 2020
Hi there! The letter below still applies in that we are following not only the CDC and state of IL's rules and guidelines but have gone above and beyond them as well. Just as I say at the end of this post, please contact me with any questions or concerns. And if you are still not sure about training in person, please know we are still continuing to offer online options. Please read on.

5/20/20
​Dear TruFit Community,


As of right now, Evanston looks as though it will soon be moving into Phase 3 which means that TruFit Personal Training Studios will be able to re-open its doors and provide one-on-one personal training services.

The TruFit trainers and I have spent the last two months not just settling into our new virtual business operations but imagining what personal training might look like going forward. As we inch closer to a day when we can once again open our doors to TruFit, I wanted to communicate to you the steps we will be taking to not only keep you safe but by extension the community around you. 

In accordance with IL state guidelines, the CDC, local government regulations, and taking all of the concerns you shared with us into consideration, TruFit will be requiring the following:
  • That capacity be kept to 10 people at one time in the entire studio:
    • A maximum of 6 individuals in the big room, 4 in the weight room and 2 in the cardio room.
    • This complies with limiting 5 individuals per 1000 sq.ft.
  • That no one come to the studio if they:
    • Have had a cough in the past 14 days
    • Have had a fever in the past 14 days
    • Have been around anyone exhibiting these symptoms in the past 14 days
    • Are living with anyone who is sick or quarantined
  • That individuals wear masks/face covers in the studio at all times
  • That individuals disinfect or wash their hands before and after their sessions; hand sanitizer will be available throughout the studio
  • That individuals keep at least 10 feet of space between each other while exercising and at least 6 feet of space in common areas
  • That we all practice patience and kindness as we navigate these new policies

In order to fulfill the above and beyond, we will implement the following:
  • To ensure no more than 10 individuals are in the space at one time, trainers will need to sign up for a training spot ahead of time. Please do your best to cancel at least 24 hours in advance with your trainer if you can not make it to make room for another client
  • We have gridded out the studio with markings indicating 10 feet of separation in studios and 6 feet in common areas
  • We will be cleaning all equipment, mats and frequently-touched surfaces with this disinfecting solution; we also have germicidal bleach on hand
  • Austin HEPA Healthmate Air Purifiers will run 24 hours to keep the air clean
  • Equipment used during a session will be disinfected before and after use
  • We are asking all individuals to wear their own masks, bring in their own filled water bottles and towels if needed; any masks, bottles or towels left behind will be disposed of by the end of the day
  • Please bring in the bare minimum with you into the studio
  • We are asking that individuals leave no personal belongings in the studio overnight
  • The studio will be cleaned professionally twice per week
  • We will continue to keep you updated as any new procedures or developments arise​

I know this may sound and feel overwhelming. I also know that some of these practices -- the wearing of masks, for example -- will not last forever. This is our very own Phase 1 and we will continue to adapt as the CDC and local government update us with numbers, always taking your own concerns into account. We know this is a very fluid situation that is subject to change.

I also know that not everyone will be ready to come back right away and you should feel absolutely no pressure to do so. I want to thank you so very much for sticking with us. We would not even have the chance to reopen our doors without our community of trainers and clients and supporters. 

As always, please contact me with any concerns/questions/etc. You can reach me at izzy@trufitpersonaltraining.com or at 312-497-8999.

Wishing you continued health,
Izzy
