Routine Cleaning and Nightly Sanitation: Staff will be cleaning/disinfecting high touch areas every 30 minutes while our facilities are open to members. Each evening after we close, we will ensure that the facility is sanitized prior to welcoming members back to the Y the next morning.

HOW WE’RE ASKING MEMBERS TO HELP MAINTAIN SAFETY

The YMCA appreciates members’ adherence to the following safety precautions during their visits:

Stay Home if You’re Sick: Members should stay home if they don’t feel well. The CDC and state public health officials encourage seniors and members of vulnerable populations, including those with underlying health conditions, to stay at home.
Be Ready for Answer Health Questions.
Wash or Sanitize Your Hands Upon Entry: All members will be asked to wash or sanitizer their hands upon entry to our facilities.
Keep the Kids at Home: At this time, we are not permitting anyone under the age of 13 in our facility. We are also limited our Group Exercise Classes to ADULTS only.
We are unable to provide Child Watch service at this time and recommend you not bring children and other family members with you as common area seating will not be available.
Bring a Towel, a Mask, a Water Bottle and a Workout Mat.
Keep Your Distance: Please exercise on designated equipment only and respect all signage regarding social distancing. Strive to maintain at least six feet between you and others whenever possible.
Expect Reduced Capacity: To ensure proper social distancing, our member areas will have a limited capacity. At times of full capacity you will be asked to wait in a designated area until space is available.
Remember to Wipe Down Equipment: Please help us reduce the risk of exposure by wiping down all equipment, weights, mats, etc. with the provided cleaning materials before and after each use.
