“We are very excited for the opportunity to open our doors to you, our loyal members – we have sincerely missed you!

Thank you for your patronage and for respecting and cooperating with these guidelines to keep your Athletic Club operating safely,” a statement from the Athletic Club reads.

In addition to strict adherence to CDC guidelines, the State recommends gyms and fitness/exercise facilities put into place an assortment of measures to protect consumers and employees.

  • PPE for All Staff: All staff will wear masks and gloves.
  • No Contact Entry/Exit: To help us maintain our safety protocols, we will maintain a single entry/exit point with either doors propped open or staffed so you do not need to contact doors.

  • Self-Scan: Members will be asked to self-scan to allow for limited contact entry.
  • Adjusting Equipment Layout/Restrict Access to Some Equipment: All open areas inside the facility have been evaluated and redesigned where possible to help ensure social distancing of six feet between members.
