As gyms across the U.S. start thinking about ways to reopen with proper sanitation guidelines in place, a gym in Redondo Beach, California is looking to protect patrons from the coronavirus by constructing pods they can individually work out in.
Made from shower curtains and pipes, the pods were an affordable alternative to putting in plexiglass barriers, Peet Sapsin, the owner of Inspire South Bay Fitness, told NBC.
The gym usually hosts around 30 people per day, and each class held with the pods will involve only nine participants at a time.
