COVID-19: Update 4
AS OF SATURDAY 6PM, 28 MAR 2020, PINNACLE PERFORMANCE IN WAN CHAI & PINNACLE BLACK IN CENTRAL WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, BREAK GLASS
Dear Pinnacle Athletes,
In response to the ongoing COVID-19 issues, the Hong Kong Government has this evening announced it is enforcing the shut down of 6 different types of public facilities from 6pm on Saturday 28 March 2020: Gaming centres, saunas, places of amusement such as pool halls, fitness centres, cinemas and party rooms. (Please find recent article information here.)
We will therefore be closing our Hong Kong facilities at the end of our normal schedule tomorrow (Saturday), after our last sessions, for 2 weeks as mandated.
As it stands, we will be reopening both gyms on Monday 13 April 2020.
Although extremely disappointing, this doesn't come as huge a surprise to us and we have been working hard to put plans in place for this eventuality for a few weeks now, as we have been communicating with you.
We have adapted our Group Development Sessions (GDS), 1-to-1 and #PInnacleSTRONG online workouts, and our experience in Manila has shown us Pinnacle athletes understand the importance of staying fit and mobile even during confinement.
As a result we can now confirm the following to our Hong Kong athletes...
1. ALL SESSIONS CONTINUE ONLINE!
Just because we don't have a space to train doesn't mean you can't be led through a workout with us!
You may have noticed on your Pinnacle app that the schedule now has online GDS. You book these sessions as per normal but they will be facilitated directly with your Lead Coach (LC) via appropriate online software in groups of 3-4.
If you're a BLACK Tier member the same principal applies and your normal booking and communication methods remain.
Either way, your LC will be handling everything directly with you and will be in touch with further information soon, so please bear with us as we navigate these changes over the weekend.
2. ANYTIME REMOTE PROGRAMMES
If you can't go live with your LC, you will also have access to our free of charge, remote, anytime movement programmes. You will soon (this coming week) be able to open your Pinnacle app to get access to home-based versions of Explode, Load and Adapt programmes, complete with demo videos.
(Don't worry, we will still be monitoring to see who is getting their movement on so get to it, no weights required!)
3. #PINNACLESTRONG INSTAGRAM WORKOUTS
In conjunction with the online GDS and online app movement programmes, we have additional workouts streamed via IGTV for those athletes who want that little bit extra - you know who you are! This is totally free of charge and with a much bigger group: the world. (Yes, feel free to invite family and friends to work out with you!)
