Covid Updates Since Re-opening: Your Health & Safety at Gravity Spa

One of our most common questions has been: “Is it safe to float?”  Yes!  The CDC has declared that water transmission is not a concern and we take great care in ventilation and sanitation.   Sadly, you’d be much more likely to contract COVID by going to the grocery store or talking to your friend than floating alone at Gravity Spa.   So don’t let that fear stop you from taking care of your overall well-being.  Stress is a killer and floats are a great way see positive change in yourself.

It’s so hard these days to decide what to do and not do when it comes to being in public.  We knew it was important to let you know just how extreme of measures we’ve been taking around Gravity Spa.   To name a few Covid updates:

1. Before reopening, the place was thoroughly deep-cleaned, sanitized and much of it was repainted.

2. We decluttered and removed everything that isn’t needed right now just to reduce the number of surfaces being touched and regularly sanitized.

3. Our staff have been retrained on new, even more extreme measures for cleaning the rooms between use.

4. You’ll see extra signage to aide our staff with new cleaning procedures and a sign on the door asking guests to wait to enter until other guests finish up in the lobby.

5. Staff & guests are required to wear masks before entering.

6. Our staff all check their temperatures upon arrival each day.

7. Before arriving, guests fill out online Float & Massage waivers.  We always talked about going paperless, but Covid just helped this along.

8. Upon arrival, each guest fills out a quick Covid Assessment Questionnaire each time.

9. Our tea/coffee & snacks station will no longer be in service (per government recommendations), but we’ll have bottles of water available for you.  Feel free to bring your own as well!

10. Our collaborative painting station, sketchbooks, and rock painting station are put away for the time-being.  Please don’t let this stop you from putting your creativity into action post-float.  We’d love for you to share your float-inspired creations via social media!

Float Specific Covid Updates:

1. The tanks now have ninja fans installed in their air vents to help with circulation and humidity.

2. We created a video of our float orientation to watch in advance!

3. To reduce waste, the float rooms will not be stocked with the single use items you’re used to.  Instead, each float room has a station outside of it with all the goodies you might choose to take in with you. (earplugs, float pillow, etc.)   

4. Your towels will be packaged in sanitized, closed bins.  Once inside the room, you can choose to drape your towels on the towel bar for easy access.  Simply lock your soiled towels back in the bins for us to wash & sanitize.

5. There is now an hour after every float for extra skimming, wiping & filtration.  You might see this sign inside the room to help our staff not miss steps:

Massage Specific Covid Updates:

Massage is governed by the Ohio Medical Board.  So here’s a Full List of mandatory and recommended practices they’ve issued.  The ways we specifically implemented these changes at Gravity Spa are below.

1. We converted our couples massage rooms into single rooms per the Ohio Medical Board.  This means we currently cannot book couples massages.

2. We’ve added impermeable massage table & pillow covers, along with covered trash & laundry bins for each room.

3. We are currently only offering the basics that do not require additional supplies and equipment.  So this means we do not have aromatherapy, warm oil, hot stones & salt stones but you can still enjoy Relaxation, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, & Prenatal massages!

4. There is now a half hour after every massage for extra sanitization.  You might see this sign inside the room to help our massage therapists not miss steps:

2020 has been taking a toll on all of our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.  Take charge and make today different than yesterday.  Say “no” to pain and stress.  We’d love to help and we’ll be here when you’re ready.

Hopefully, this answers most of your questions regarding the precautions we’ve been taking, but don’t be afraid to call us! (937)696-9595                     -Melony, MeeMee, Theresa, Kelsy, Colleen, & Misty
