Updated Guidelines

While you are visiting, please do the following to help mitigate the risk of spreading Covid-19:

  1. Please wash your hands regularly.
  2. Please utilize the hand sanitizer stations throughout the facility.
  3. Maintain six feet of physical distancing whenever possible.
  4. Face masks are recommended to be worn while in the facility.
  5. Members must clean equipment before and after each use.
    • We ask that you wipe down any sweat from the machine with a clean, cleaning rag.
    • Grab a new cleaning rag and spray the cleaning solution into the cleaning rag. Wipe down all parts of the machine that were touched or had sweat. There should be enough of the cleaner on the rag to leave a residue on the machine that will air dry. The dry time should take about three to five minutes. Please avoid saturating the machine with the cleaning rag so the cleaning product runs and streaks.
    • Please do not spray product directly on the machine.
    • When this process is complete, place the used cleaning rag into a dirty rag bin.
  6. Locker Rooms: Locker access will be available to the public. Showers will be available.
    • Please mist the shower area with a bottle of cleaning solution before and after shower use.
    • Please spray down the handles and shower head as well as walls and floor. Bottles will be placed in the shower area.
  7. Patrons should bring their own sweat towel and shower towel as towel service is suspended until further notice.
  8. The Neely Lobby doors will be the only doors open when visiting. We ask all patrons to enter and exit through the Neely Lobby until further notice.

  1. Towel Service: Suspended until further notice. We ask that patrons bring their own workout towel and shower towel to the facility to use while they work out.
