Next Steps 2

On Wednesday, May 27th, the Governor of Wyoming and State Health Officer released the 5th continuation of the State Health Orders. The one relevant to gymnasiums can be found here.

The following is our operating plan until further notice.

These changes go into effect on Monday, June 1st.

Building Operations | Changes

Building Hours

Weekday: 5:00 am – 7:00 pm
Saturday: Closed
Sunday: Closed

Weekday hours have been extended in both the morning and evening.
We will be closed on Saturdays until further notice.

This change on Saturday has been prompted by two facts:

• Low usage numbers on Saturdays since reopening.
• The continued requirement of dedicated staff to wipe down equipment in between members. It has been hard to justify additional staff with low usage.

We will look to reopen on Saturdays when the dedicated staff requirement has been lifted and interest resumes.

Pool Hours

Lap swim will now run from 5:30 am – 3:00 pm.

Group Exercise Classes

More classes are returning.

Please check the Fitness calendar on our Front Page to see which classes will be running.

Aquatics classes and swim lessons will resume when we are permitted to use the pool beyond lap swim only.

Close-contact group activities, including close-contact sports, are prohibited.

The following are deemed to be close-contact group activities:
Noon Ball
Pickleball

Drop In Child Care Center

Our Drop In Child Care Center is reopening.

Child Care Staff will be wearing masks.

If a parent would like their child to wear a mask, staff will comply with the request to the best of their ability.

Weekdays: 8:00 am – 12:00 pm

Gymnasium

The gymnasium will be limited to six (6) members, two (2) per hoop on the west side from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm.

Building Operations | Unchanged

All other building restrictions remain in effect from the last Health Order.

Facilities remain limited to members only at this time.

Members will continue to go through a check in screening process before being allowed to use the facility.

Please arrive dressed in the appropriate attire for the desired activity as the locker rooms will be unavailable for all but restroom and sink facilities.

Pool patrons will need to bring a towel from home as Y towels will be unavailable. The deck showers will be available for rinsing off before and after pool use. This remains an important step in protecting the pool chemistry.

Personal Training is permitted. Trainers will wear a mask and ensure proper sanitation practices are utilized.

Bath towels and sweat towels will be unavailable at this time.

Equipment must be wiped down before and after use.

Equipment towels and disinfectant spray bottles will be available.

Staff will be present to ensure equipment is wiped down in between members and that cleaning supplies remain well-stocked.

Members

Members will continue to be asked a small series of general health questions and to agree to some special policies put in place to determine facility entry eligibility, as mandated by the New Health Order.

If a member meets the eligibility criteria to enter, Front Desk staff will check to see if their desired workout area is available. If the area is at capacity, the member will be directed to wait until a specified time at which the area becomes available.

If a member is deemed ineligible to enter, they will kindly be asked to leave the Y.

If a member would like to change to a different area of the facility, they are required to check in with the Front Desk to determine if there is space available in the desired area.

Work out sessions are restricted to one (1) hour.
Staff will alert you when you are nearing the end of your session time.

Six (6) feet of distance must be maintained while working out.

Staff will be present to kindly remind members to create appropriate distancing if they observe patrons working out too close to one another. This is not only for the health and safety of everyone in the facility, but will also allow us to remain open and serving the community.

Y members are required to check out at the Front Desk upon departure.

Staff

Staff will continue to go through the same procedure as members.

If a staff person is deemed ineligible, they will not be allowed to work until they can meet the eligibility criteria.

Staff are required to check out at the Front Desk upon departure.

Staff will continue to wear masks if within six (6) feet of members or other staff.

Staff will be monitoring all workout areas to be sure the capacity caps are not exceeded. See below for more information.
