Club Hours

Dear Members,

You are probably aware that the City of Philadelphia gave permission for fitness centers to open on July 20, 2020. The City requirements, although necessary to ensure peoples’ safety, are very strict. The mandate is that masks must be worn by all employees and customers at all times and

that they must maintain a six-foot distance as well. There are no exceptions for any types of exercise or any type of activities. We believe that this will make it problematic for many to enjoyably and effectively utilize our facilities.

Given the City mandates, the current health risks to our members and employees, and the fact that we are in late summer when activities such as kids club, camp and sports leagues are not operating, we believe that it is

prudent to delay the Club opening until after Labor Day. My expectation is

that, at that time, the restrictions and health risks may have decreased enough for the City to provide a clearer and more flexible format for us to reopen. We hope to be able to offer all of our programs at that time without undue burdens.

This has been a challenging time with a series of frustrating delays for all of us. Our goal now, as always, is to provide a safe, positive, friendly facility for all of our members. Please stay well and feel free to contact me with any questions that you have. Just a reminder that our on line classes are continuing. We look forward to having you back with us after Labor Day.

I would appreciate it if you would complete the short survey that is attached so that we may be better prepared for the reopening.

Yours in good health,

Gary
