St. Paul Fitness Studio Proactively Shapes-up Indoor Air During COVID-19 Reopening Phase

As owner of Defining You Pilates & Fitness, Suzy Levi and her staff have been preparing for a cautious re-opening during the COVID-19 pandemic. The latest safeguard in place is a healthcare-grade ISO-Aire™ clean air technology unit to clean and sanitize the indoor air.

Installation of Iso-Aire Recirculation Unit Offers Reliable, Proven Clean Air Solutions at Defining You Pilates and Fitness

ST. PAUL, MN, UNITED STATES, July 9, 2020 The indoor air at Suzy Levi’s welcoming St. Paul studio is being continuously recirculated through a high-tech, HEPA air filtration unit during Minnesota’s COVID-19 reopening phase to ensure it is clean and sanitized. Levi’s Defining You Pilates & Fitness is the first wellness studio to house a healthcare-grade ISO-Aire clean air technology solution, which captures and destroys 99.99% of airborne particulates from viruses, bacteria, mold and pollen.

A small business owner, Levi explains indoor air quality is part of her proactive approach to help ensure the health safety of her clients, staff, and livelihood during the pandemic and into the future. “The COVID-19 pandemic has compromised our well-being on many levels,” she said. “It’s imperative the doors to our Minnesota gyms and fitness studios continue to re-open cautiously to help our clients continue to move more, feel better and improve their overall health. The economic impact has also left deep scars for far too many small business owners. We see the ISO-Aire as one of several safeguards in place as we continue to serve our members in a welcoming, supportive and safe environment.”

The ISO-Aire™ recirculates the indoor air 24/7 at Defining You, 550 Vandalia Tower, Suite 310, with three powerful air quality components, including a 12-inch HEPA filter, UVC sterilization and ozone-free bipolar ionization. Combined, they capture and destroy 99.99% of potentially harmful airborne particulates that are invisible to the human eye, such as the Coronavirus particles. ISO-Aire has been installed in hospitals here in Minnesota as well as on the East and West Coasts, but in the last month several small business locations and schools are firsts for commercial applications.

The installation is the result of a partnership forged with St. Paul business owner and ISO-Aire™ developer Chuck Albers, of Ducts and Cleats. Albers and his team installed the clean air technology as an opportunity to help several fellow small business owners who have been hit hard by the pandemic shutdowns.

“Many business owners are barely hanging on as COVID-19 brought commerce in small towns and big cities like St. Paul to a halt,” explained Albers. “ISO-Aire serves as a clean air solution that can help small businesses in knowing airborne contaminants are captured and destroyed through a powerful multi-filtration process. That peace of mind – for both business owners and their customers – is invaluable reassurance as we continue to support our local businesses safely.”

Albers and his team developed ISO-Aire™ at their St. Paul facility in early 2020 at the request of one of Minnesota’s leading healthcare facilities in response to COVID-19 to ensure a secure and safe environment for patients and employees, particularly in stringent hospital isolation room settings. Realizing the technology could be adapted for commercial use in environments requiring safe-distancing and clean air quality, they re-designed the unit to accommodate a variety of settings and building applications. Emerging evidence and recommendations by public health officials and scientists is urging leaders to invest in further research to understand how COVID-19 may be transmitted by airborne particles. Albers noted, one of the most important safeguards during the pandemic is protecting the indoor air quality and removing any trace of harmful contaminants to protect one another.
