Whilst we all know that being fit and active helps to strengthen people's immune system , this received little attention from the governments and policy makers in these countries . With our online reservation system , we are able to manage the flow of people to our clubs and the number of people in our clubs at any given time . This in combination with clear signage in the club assures that social distancing can be maintained . In addition , our large clubs are equipped with optimised ventilation systems and we can therefore reopen our clubs and offer our members a safe place to work out in . We proved this last year when we had more than 30 million visits without any reported outbreaks of COVID- 19 . The good news is that due to the vaccination programmes we are getting closer to the reopening of the economy and our clubs . In the coming months we expect to be able to reopen our clubs ; 22 APRIL 2021 - Q1 2021 TRADING UPDATE / 1
