As a member of IMAC we will be adopting the IMAC Return to Training Protocols

Click the IMAC document image to see a useful summary of the IMAC Return to Training protocols. All members thinking of attending should read this carefully. A more detailed version of this document has been circulated to the head instructors of all IMAC member clubs with additional guidance on how apply relevant protocols and how to communicate the requirements to their members.

Please understand that the requirements are evolving over time and are subject to change. It is the responsibility of all club members to ensure they keep themselves up to date with Government and  HSE guidelines as they evolve.

Registering for each visit (Pre-Booking)

All participants will be required to Pre-register to attend every class. No unregistered arrivals will be permitted. Pre-registration will include completion of a mini Covid-19 self-screening declaration.  You will see we have a yellow "Pre-Booking" tab already in place on the left edge of our website.

NB: When classes resume, you should pre-register on the same day as the class and no later than one hour beforehand.
