The UK government has given the go-ahead for one-to-one Personal Training outdoors, as part of the first stage of plans to ease COVID-19 lockdown measures.
A 50-page document published today (11 May), called Our plan to rebuild: the UK Government’s COVID-19 recovery strategy, provides details on a three-step road map, which looks to gradually ease restrictions in England.
The government’s science taskforce, SAGE, has deemed that the risk of infection outside is significantly lower than inside – leading to the updating of rules on exercise.
A significant change, as part of Step 1, is that people can now exercise with up to one person from outside their household – which opens an opportunity for one-to-one personal training.
All interactions must adhere to social distancing guidelines, with a two-metre distance maintained at all times.
People can also now exercise outside as many times a day as they wish.
