NEW YORK, NY—July 24, 2020—Integrity Square, a leading advisor to health clubs and boutique operators in North America, is pleased to offer all Health, Active Lifestyle & Outdoors (“HALO”) bricks & mortar locations, the ability to sign the HALO PLEDGE and receive window peel stickers to ensure members feel safe upon returning to their fitness routines.
“We need to do everything we can to ensure the public - and all of these politicians - that we provide the safest workout environment and care about the health & happiness of our loyal member base,” says Pete Moore, Founder & Managing Partner of Integrity Square. “I’ve been in this industry for over 20 years and—now more than ever—it’s critical that we come together to get our industry re-opened.”
“The HALO Pledge is an honor-based system that you are doing everything in your power to adapt to the ‘new normal’ and you will keep your locations clean, safe & in accordance with regulations, which we all already do on a daily basis.”
Integrity Square will make the master files of the HALO Pledge window peel (per the logo above) available to anyone who requests them, or they can reach out to Integrity Square directly. Any facility that posts the window peel will also get their logo listed on the HALO Talks website. Any location can produce as many window peel logos as needed. This is a public service.
