We rely on our staff, cleaners and members of the public to all work together to maintain our standard of cleanliness and safety by doing your part by: staying home with any COVID-19 symptoms, pre-screening prior to entrance, wiping down exercise equipment before and after, wearing face coverings (in change rooms, and other public/transitional areas), and keeping appropriate physical distance from others to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
