Review the following list of COVID-19 frequently asked questions to ensure you're ready for your next in-gym experience.
At Zap Fitness, the safety of our members and staff is our number one priority. We have put an extensive range of protective measures in place (as listed above). These include (but are not limited to); hygiene stations placed in every area of the club, a strict “no towel, no train policy”, increased cleaning specifications, closure of non-essential areas and adhering to social distancing guidelines. Further protective measures include but not limited to:
Members bring a towel and own water bottle (no towel = no train)
COVID Marshals in all clubs will ensure COVID protocols are followed
Thorough cleaning of all equipment by staff
No shared equipment unless disinfected between uses
No cash transactions
Installation of hand sanitising units
Equipment set 1.5m apart (in some instances this has meant the decommission of some equipment)
In addition, staff will be issued with masks, disposable gloves and extensive cleaning kits ready for use.
At this stage; water fountains and couches will not be available. Toilets, change rooms and showers will now be available.
Following the latest State Government COVID-Safety advice we are returning closer to normal starting November 23, restrictions will be further eased to allow the following in our VIC Clubs:

Given these recent changes, Membership billing will recommence at your standard membership rate from Monday 23rd November.
If you are currently on a time freeze and with the above mentioned adjustments to the operational protocol, your membership will become active for use on Monday 23rd November and will resume full billing on Monday 30th November. If for whatever reason this is unsuitable please contact [email protected]
Your normal billing cycle will re-activate as of November 16. Note: all members will not be charged for any period of time during the closure. The following only applies to members who owed payments prior to the closure: as a gesture of goodwill we will not attempt to take any outstanding overdue amounts for the first 2 weeks of operation, however we kindly ask for you to resolve this matter with our Customer Service Team ([email protected] or 1300 ZAP FIT) prior to November 30th.
Paid in full or upfront memberships will have their membership end date extended by the same length of time that we were closed.
During the Government imposed shutdown we provided free Facebook Live home workouts to keep you mentally and physically fit whilst at home. We’ll be continuing to deliver these sessions based on demand.
We value every member and understand that everyone’s circumstances are different, especially in what has been such a difficult time. Please reach out to our Customer Service Team ([email protected] or 1300 ZAP FIT) so we can help you stay active.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends hygiene and other measures to reduce the general risk of infections by:
Frequently cleaning hands by using alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water
When coughing and sneezing cover mouth or nose with flexed elbow or tissue – throw tissue away immediately and wash hands
Avoiding close contact with anyone who has a fever or cough
If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing seek medical care early and share previous travel history with your healthcare provider.
This situation is evolving and we ask members to continue to check the below websites for the latests updates and guidance:
