COVID-19 PREVENTION

By making a reservation at VERVE Studios, you agree to follow our COVID-19 prevention policies in full.

PREVENTION

Nutrition

To keep your immune system healthy, it’s recommended to eat a diet rich in plants, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, protein and healthy fats. Adequate intake of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, E, vitamin A, vitamin D, folate/folic acid, iron and zinc are beneficial for a healthy immune system.

Exercise

Physical exercise boosts your immune system. We recommend regular physical activity and cardiovascular exercise to stay healthy and strong. It’s recommended to consult with a medical provider before starting a new exercise routine.

Health Screening and Monitoring

CDC recommends that we self-monitor our health daily and monitor for symptoms. If you are feeling sick or have symptoms of a cold or flu, then you are required to stay home and are not allowed to use our facilities. Riders please email info@thevervestudios.com if you are sick or test positive and we will send you our COVID Screening Form and let you know when it’s safe to return to the studio.

COVID Testing

If you have symptoms of a cold or flu, stay home and get tested as soon as your symptoms start. You can get no cost at home testing kits or find free testing sites in San Diego here.

If you’re exposed or test positive

If you were exposed or if you test positive, follow these guidelines for quarantine or isolation. Email info@thevervestudios.com and we will follow up with our COVID screening form and determine when it’s safe for you to return to the studio.

FAQs

Why we are reopening indoors…

Our Del Mar studio is an indoor cycling studio at heart. We pivoted and transformed our operation outdoors due to the COVID-19 pandemic and have been operating outdoors since July 2020. Our landlord is no longer allowing tenants to operate outdoors and our temporary outdoor license agreement is expiring on March 31, 2022. For the month of March we will be operating with a hybrid indoor and outdoor schedule. Indoor classes will take place on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturdays. Outdoor classes will be held Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Starting March 31, 2022 all classes will be indoors. For regular outdoor VERVE Studios classes, you can visit our studio in Oceanside which is open year round, 7 days a week. Stay tuned for announcements on upcoming outdoor fitness classes hosted with our local partners.

San Diego County and California Department of Public Health recommends wearing a mask while indoors regardless of vaccination status. Masks are not required indoors.

Are masks required outdoors?

Masks are not required for our outdoor classes.

Are you checking for proof of vaccination?

We are no longer checking for proof of vaccination at entry at this time as we know 84% of San Diego residents are vaccinated and within any given indoor class at VERVE Studios, we’ve seen that between 90 to 100% of riders are fully vaccinated in the class. We have a strong focus on educating our teams and clients to practice healthy habits to boost immunity, self-monitoring symptoms, staying home if sick, COVID testing, getting vaccinated/boosted, and reporting exposures and cases to our studio team to keep our staff and riders healthy. We implement a COVID screening form with all of our clients who report being sick and advise clients on when it’s safe to return to the studio.

Is the staff at VERVE Studios fully vaccinated?

We are not able to disclose personal information about a staff member, but we are following our COVID-19 prevention policies for employees. For indoor studios and operations, all employees are required to be vaccinated and provide proof of vaccination. For individuals with a disability, medical or religious reason for not obtaining the vaccine or wearing a mask, then VERVE Studios assesses those situations on a case by case basis to see if there is a reasonable accommodation while upholding a safe environment for our employees and clients.

I’m not comfortable with riding indoors yet, what are my options?

We have a variety of options available to you if you’re not comfortable riding indoors. We have outdoor classes at our studio in Oceanside year round, we offer VERVE On Demand with 100+ cycle, strength, and stretch classes streaming online, and we do offer VERVE Bikes for purchase if you are interested in an at-home bike! Email MJ at mj@thevervestudios.com for more information.

Are showers going to be open back up?

Yes! They will be opening back up on April 1st! We’ll also have our awesome Therabody recovery corner available for you to use indoors with portable massagers and vibrating foam rollers so you can use them to activate or recover your muscles pre- or post- class!
