HOW WE’RE PREPARING FOR YOUR RETURN
There’s a lot going on behind the scenes. Our club team is working tirelessly preparing for your return with deep cleaning protocols to ensure the club us safe and ready to welcome you back.
Today, more than ever before, your health and wellness remain our top priority. That’s why we’re partnering with the experts and industry leaders at Active Wellness and Tri-City Medical Center, to implement the highest levels of cleanliness and ensure safe social distancing.
Below is our plan to keep you and our employees safe and healthy. This is just the start and we will continue to update and implement new procedures and protocols as we learn more about local and national guidelines.
Cleaning Protocols
We are taking a comprehensive approach to ensure proper cleaning, disinfection, and sanitation protocols are in place in accordance with governmental, CDC, and WHO guidelines. We are also adding additional procedures to our continued stringent level of cleanliness.
Exercising Social Distancing
We are carefully planning and implementing a safer way for us to be together. There will be markers and directional signage on the floors and walls to remind us to exercise safe social distancing practices.
Sanitation Stations
Along with implementing comprehensive cleaning protocols, we are increasing the number of sanitation stations throughout the club. These are conveniently located, easy to use and readily available equipment disinfectant sprays, wipes, and hand sanitizers.
Equipment Spacing
For your safety, we have limited the amount of equipment on our cardio and weight floors to exercise safe social distancing practices while you workout.
Reduced Class Sizes
Group fitness class sizes will be reduced to allow for safe social distancing. Additionally, all classes will require reservations. Deep cleaning protocols will be put into place for thorough cleaning between classes.
Increased Cleaning
We will increase our daily scheduled cleaning times along with continuous disinfection of high-touch surfaces throughout the club. There will also be adjusted club hours of operation to allow for additional deep cleaning.
STAFF SAFETY
Team members will be trained on appropriate cleaning procedures and protocols. All staff members will be equipped with disinfectant and sanitation products. Facial masks will be worn and Temperature checks will be recorded for each staff member prior to their shift in accordance with government regulations.
