She delivered a clear, crisp, concise planned approach to ensuring all her people would be safe through the process. The thinking was ordered and detailed, right down to the &#8220;numbered alternating workout lanes&#8221; that would allow multiple people to use the studio while maintaining the 6-ft CDC-recommended distance requirement.
