What have you been doing to keep your members safe throughout the pandemic? How have you had to adjust throughout this time?
- We strive to keep our facility safe. Equipment is cleaned on a regular schedule by our staff. We have a wonderful Environmental Services team that keeps our entire building clean.
- We have provided members with wellness wipes and hand sanitizer on nearly every wall of the facility to clean their hands and items they use throughout their workout.
- Our cardio machines are distanced/alternate blocked, so you aren’t working out directly beside another individual for an extended period.
- Members are required to wear a mask upon entering and leaving the building but not while actively working out.
- Everyone entering the building is screened on entry, including a temperature check.
