COVID-19 RELATED POLICIES
NOTE: This may all sound complex and daunting, but we promise you that it isn't! Once you've gone through it a few times it starts to become just another aspect of your workout routine.
The over-riding principles are simple:
- Follow the check-in / screening process. (Don't worry - we'll help you!)
- Be mindful of your surroundings, and respectful to other members.
- Wear a suitable mask at all times unless you are A) engaged in high intensity exercise, AND B) able to maintain adequate (14 ft.) distancing.
- 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 (sweat) towel and a bag to store your towel and mask in 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.

COVID-19 RELATED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Prior to Your Arrival
★ Please do not come if you aren’t certain that you can pass our COVID-19 Screening Process (see below).
★ Testing & Medical Procedures --> Please do not enter our building if you are:
- Scheduled to take a COVID test within the next seven days.
- Awaiting the results of a COVID test that you've recently taken.
- Scheduled to undergo any inpatient or outpatient medical procedure within the next seven days.
★ Please stay home if you’re experiencing frequent coughing or sneezing due to allergies, as this could make others uncomfortable.

★ Please bring:
- Your mask
- A clean gym towel
- A sanitized mat (if appropriate for class)
- Your (clean) water bottle
- A small, clean, non-porous bag to hold your towel and mask during your class/workout so you’re not placing a “used” item on the floor.
Arrival, Screening, & Check-In
★ Please plan on arriving 5-10 minutes prior to your class, but bear in mind that you may not wait in the front desk/lobby area.
★ Please be wearing your mask when you arrive, and sanitize your hands immediately - preferably prior to entering the building.
★ Everyone* who enters the building must undergo a COVID-19 Screening process which will be performed by a staff member. When possible - we will be performing the screening process outside on our porch at a kiosk. (*People entering purely for Retail are not required to undergo screening.)
★ Our COVID-19 Screening process includes:
- A temperature check using a no-touch thermometer. If the recorded temp is greater than 100.0 degrees, the person is not allowed on the premises.
- Answering the screening questions listed below. If you answer “YES” to any question, you will be denied entry and asked to immediately leave the premises.
- Have you been in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 within the last 2 weeks?
- Are you or a member of your household required to either produce a negative COVID-19 viral test result or self-quarantine for 14 days due to travel outside of the "Lower Risk States", as defined in the updated Massachusetts COVID-19 Travel Order? If so, you may not enter our facility or participate in Outdoor Fitness until you / your household member has satisfied the requirements of the revised order.
- Have you recently experienced ANY of the following within the last 48 hours: cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, vomiting, or diarrhea?
(For more information about our privacy policies, including how we handle information we gather during COVID-19 Screening, please click here.)
★ Once you have passed screening, you will be checked in.
We are moving to a touchless check-in process. Once you have completed screening you may check-in yourself using our app, or be checked in by a staff member.
★ Once you are checked in, please proceed to your designated class/training area.
Please Note ...
✓ The COVID-19 Screening process is mandatory for all Staff, Fitness & Coworking customers, and contractors who enter our building.
✓ All Indoor Fitness offerings - including Open Gym - now require advanced reservations. You can book via our Chatham Works app, our website, the MindBody app, or by calling us at 508-469-0123. Walk-ins for Open Gym will be accepted on an "as available" basis, but cannot be guaranteed and the time available to you may be limited based on existing reservations. Therefore we strongly encourage you to book ahead of time.
✓ Wear your mask at all times unless engaged in high intensity exercise.
✓ Maintain 6+ ft. social distancing at all times while wearing a mask, or 14 ft. without a mask while engaged in high intensity exercise.
✓ Wash/sanitize your hands well and often, including:
→ Upon arrival (ideally before entering the building)
→ As required during your class/workout
→ After your workout
→ After using the restroom (obviously!)
✓ Observe directional and distancing signage while inside the facility, and cooperate with Staff instructions regarding spacing and other safety considerations.

✓ Please do your part to help keep our facility safe by properly cleaning all equipment you've used once you're done with it.
✓ Be respectful of our staff and other members, and bear in mind that these are completely unprecedented - and less than ideal - circumstances for all of us.
