COVID-19 RELATED POLICIES
POLICY UPDATE FOR VACCINATED TRAVELERS, effective 3/8/21, per Mass. DPH:
"If you have gotten two doses of the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines or one dose of the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine more than 14 days ago and do not have symptoms, you do not need to have a negative test before traveling to Massachusetts or quarantine when you arrive. If asked, you must show documentation of your vaccination, including the date(s) given.
If you are vaccinated and have symptoms of COVID-19, you must continue to follow the Governor’s Travel Order and related testing and quarantine requirements."
--> If you qualify and wish to be deemed exempt from the normal quarantine/test requirements, we require that you show us proof of vaccination.
Overview:
- Follow the check-in / screening process. (Don't worry - we'll help you!) Please note that our policies incorporate the Mass. Travel Order (see below).
- Be mindful of your surroundings, and respectful to other members.
- Wear a suitable mask at all times - even while engaged in high intensity exercise.
- Position yourself / your equipment such that you have 14 ft. of distancing, and maintain at least 6 ft. of distancing at all times while exercising.
- Clean/disinfect your hands upon entering, when appropriate during your workout, and when you're ready to leave.
- Properly clean and disinfect all equipment before and after use.
- Bring a towel and a bag to store your towel and personal items during your workout.
- If you're ever unsure of anything - or want help - just ask!
We do ask that you take a moment to read and digest the detailed information below. But if everyone just follows the key points above, we should all be able to keep each other safe.
