LA Fitness will open all of its locations in Washington today with all locations adhering to the most recent guidelines put forth by governor Jay Inslee.
The company has 28 location in the state, all of them in the western half of the state. Some of the locations are still in Phase 2 of the state’s reopening plan, but discussions between LA Fitness representative and state officials will allow those locations to open with restrictions.
“We have good news,” stated an email sent Aug. 6 to LA Fitness members, according to the Covington Reporter. “We are reopening the rest of our clubs in Washington on Monday, Aug. 10 at 6 a.m. Thank you for your patience, loyalty and support while waiting for this to happen! You have been missed and we are looking forward to welcoming you back in person. While closed, we’ve been working on changes aimed at making our clubs the safest place you can work out.”
The clubs will have reduced hours — 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
In compliance with the governor’s current guidelines, LA Fitness outlined the following changes:
- The number of people in a club will be capped at 25% of the club’s capacity. We are keeping track of the capacity through our check-in/check-out system.
- We ask that everyone check in one by one and use contactless check-in. Our LA Fitness mobile app has a feature that allows for this and will also alert you if the club is at capacity and when there is space available for you to enter.
- Please arrive dressed in workout attire, since locker room access will be limited to hand washing and restroom use only.
- All employees reporting for work will be screened for COVID symptoms (including temperature readings) and required to wear face coverings.
- Temperatures may be taken at the door for members and guests as well.
- Members are required to wear face coverings while in the club, except when they are exercising and are able to maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from others. Members who remove their masks to exercise must wear them immediately before and after exercising. We will be checking for masks at the door, so please bring your own mask and be prepared to wear it when appropriate.
- The number of participants in a group exercise class will be limited to allow for distancing.
