We’ve made a few changes to ensure the safety of our members and staff.

Our Center is open and we look forward to seeing you. We have developed an extensive plan to safely and responsibly reopen. Read our Welcome Back frequently asked questions for details.

Arrival and departure

Members will enter through parking lot doors to complete a COVID-19 screening and will then check in at the temporary front desk within the fitness center. When members leave, they will be required to check-out of the facility and exit the side door by the back stairwell near the locker rooms and Studio 1.
