• The use of masks. PLEASE NOTE: masks will be required for entry and when moving about studio. Masks may be removed once class has begun. Due to various health concerns in relation to exercise, Studio Rue cannot require you to wear a mask while exercising. Please consult your physician about the safety of wearing a mask while exercising. If you choose to wear one during class please listen to your instructor’s cues for; class pace, spring tension and repetitions in addition to taking frequent pauses.  Bring your own mask and dispose of properly after class. Any mask left in studio will be discarded. No exceptions.

The preventative measures above will be regularly reviewed, expanded upon and evolve as necessary.
