We apologize for the multiple emails, but in these unprecedented times it is important for us to provide you with the best communication possible.
In an effort to keep you and our staff safe, we are making some modifications outlined below. As we shared in our previous emails of March 4 and March 9, (hard copies available at the front desk) this is a rapidly changing dynamic which we are monitoring hour by hour. We appreciate your partnership in keeping everyone safe and protected.
Island Fitness is built on a foundation of supporting our community. If you need help in navigating these challenging times, please refer to the resources in the previous letters, or reach out to us and we’ll help direct you.
Club-wide
• Towel service is suspended – this protects our staff from handling items that viruses can live on.
• Please bring your own shower, sweat, and steam towels.
• We will reevaluate this on March 31st
• Steam rooms will remain open for the time being.
• We will continue to wipe down equipment and surfaces with our hydrogen peroxide based cleaner*.
• We have temporarily removed blankets, bolsters and other permeable surface items from the floor.
• Our workout mats are closed-cell and cannot absorb liquids.
• Mats still need to be wiped down before and after use.
Group Fitness
• Classes designed for seniors are suspended.
• Seniors with underlying health concerns have been advised to avoid public places, we concur.
• Classes currently suspended are Enhance Fitness, Chi Flow and Zumba Gold.
• Class size is reduced to support the recommended 6-foot radius.
• Everyone taking class is asked to register online. This is imperative for us to monitor class attendance
• Tickets are longer issued for classes.
• Please bring your own yoga mats, bolsters, blankets, etc.
• Classes may be canceled at the last minute because we are also insisting that our instructors to not come into the club if they are coughing, sneezing or their health is compromised in any way.
Training
• Our trainers are the front line in helping us keep the club clean.
• For those clients unable or unwilling to come to the club, our trainers can come to you!
• Appointment times are condensed, to allow for travel, but we are waiving the off-site premium.
• Coordinate with your trainer or contact Gavin.
Massage
• Massage helps to reduce anxiety and bolster your immune system.
• In the Massage room, all touch points are thoroughly wiped down between all clients.
• Our massage team follows all state regulations for massage.
• All our massage surfaces are non-permeable.
• Please wash your hands before entering the massage room.
If you are coughing or sneezing or feel under the weather in any way, for your protection and ours, PLEASE STAY HOME.

To our collective good health.
Michael, Alexa and the entire Island Fitness staff.
