I work in a pilates studio and we pay very special attention to the air conditioning system. The air conditioner is a bit weird because two different companies worked on it. One company installed the air conditioner in the back, while another did the air conditioner in the front, and that one has a few small problems. We try to work around it. However, we also have many different air purifiers throughout the studio to help cleanse the air. Pilates is an exercise that increases the mind-body connection and requires a lot of breathwork, and deep breathing requires clean air. We also see a lot of older clients whose health may be immunocompromised, so having those air purifiers around the studio is really important to them and a nice touch for potential clients to see. I typically replace the air filters in the purifiers every few months, and I replace the coverings for them about once a month when they begin to get dusty. Ever since the pandemic, respiratory care has been important for we, so we are doing the best we can to ensure the health and safety for all of our clients. Even with all we do, we know that some people will still get sick. That’s something we simply cannot help prevent. I just hope that we offer an environment that helps people feel safe and well. It’s important to have a safe space that is not only physically healthy, but a space where you can really connect with others and have that social interaction we all desperately need.
