THE WOODSIDE STANDARD
BE A PART OF THE #WOODSIDEFITFAM
While life has changed following the COVID-19 pandemic, we have challenged ourselves to emerge stronger than before and to serve you better when you visit the Club.
The Woodside Standard is our solution for creating a safe environment for our members and for our team of employees.
AIR QUALITY & TURN OVER RATE
Our entire property has been reviewed by a third-party, nationally accredited (NEBB certified) Air Quality Testing agency. This agency reviewed each one of our systems, and confirmed that our HVAC systems are running not only efficiently but optimally. We have achieved the recommended goal of fresh air turnover in each space, which is between 4 and 6 times per hour. This agency has recommended Woodside as a benchmark for other companies to mimic our air treatment and air handling process.
U/V LIGHT SYSTEM
We also added a U/V light system in all of our HVAC air ducts across the property to reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses through the air. The system reduces odors, pollutants, chemical odors, bacteria and viruses by treating the air as it passes through ductwork before it is transmitted through vents. U/V light in the correct dosage causes coronaviruses to mutate and effectively inactivate.
BIPOLAR IONIZATION TECHNOLOGY
We also installed an additional, one of a kind Bipolar Ionization system from Global Plasma Solutions. Integrated into our HVAC system, this technology disperses ions that cluster around microparticles and ultimately deactivate harmful substances like airborne mold, bacteria, allergens and viruses. This technology has notably been installed at the Pentagon, the White House, many universities across the country, Google headquarters, Boston Medical Center and other hospitals around the world.
CLEANING PROTOCOL
In addition to refining our existing cleanliness protocols, we have increased cleaning staff and strategically stationed them in high trafficked locations to continuously clean and disinfect high touch areas multiple times a day throughout all hours of operation. All Woodside employees are required to support all rigorous cleaning protocols in all areas of the Club.
DISINFECTION PROCEDURES
Medical-grade, EPA-registered disinfectants which are designated effective against COVID-19 with a kill time of less than one minute are used for all continuous cleaning processes.
DISINFECTANT WIPES
Members are asked to use disinfectant wipes on equipment after use in conjunction with Woodside’s cleaning protocols. Our disinfectant wipes, approved by the EPA for use against COVID-19, are proven to kill 99.9% of viruses, bacteria and fungi on equipment while also having the safest EPA Toxicity Rating. Disinfectant wipes are stocked and available in multiple locations throughout the Club.
HAND SANITIZERS
Members are asked to use touchless hand sanitizer stations throughout the Club and frequently throughout their visit. The hand sanitizer solution we use, which has added Aloe Vera, kills up to 99.9% of germs and includes 70% ethyl alcohol, above the CDC’s guidelines of 60%.
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT (PPE)
GLOVES
Gloves are meant to avoid cross contamination. We prefer that our members concentrate on vigorously washing their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after workouts as opposed to wearing gloves throughout the facilities.
MEMBER MASKS
We recommended continued masking for members who are not fully vaccinated. Of course, members are welcome to continue wearing masks regardless of vaccination status.
RESPECT THE SPACE OF OTHERS
