To monitor the gym with people who may be unvaccinated (and who don't wear a mask) will be a problem. The gym has been a constant question in so many people's lives. It doesn't have great equipment and with the a/c unit gone, it's a very hot area. I believe we should keep it closed until we come up with a plan which is result 100% perfect and we have no extra cost. I'll leave it to the rest of the group for the final decision.

Hi Craig,
Yes i think that's the idea we just trust everyone. We dont have a concierge to monitor it. I guess we could get people to declare their vaccination status to Darren and then he add's access to their card. But that's extra work (expense ? ) for Darren and it's likely only valid to December before it's a free for all. The law as not been tested here so it's uncertain if we have an obligation to enforce it. I think if there is any sort of question over trust we should just keep it closed until the rules change. It does not hurt us to keep it closed but there is some risk in opening up.
On a personal note I think the gym does little to ad value to the building. It's so small and under equipped i doubt it's a feature in anyone's decision to invest and it costs us more money in time cleaning and maintenance then it's worth in my opinion. But then as you all know by my appearance im no gym junky. So I will leave it to people that are more into that sort of thing. Im happy to go with the consensus.
Kind regards
Matt
