COVID-19 update

Family Wellness Center Members,

We are so thankful for our members who have utilized and supported the facility during our first phases of reopening.  The facility is now open to our younger members once again! Anyone under the age of 16 MUST be accompanied by an adult AT ALL TIMES! All Covid-19 policies of masks, traffic flow, and social distancing are to be observed. Our nursery will remain closed. Due to limited space, scheduling is best for gymnasium, pool, and racquetball areas. 

We now are permitting non-members to purchase guest passes.  Non-members may also purchase a pass for our group exercise classes at any time. 

With our capacity having increased in the fitness room from 15 to 20 members there is no longer a need to make a reservation.  However, the aerobics room will remain limited to 2 members. The pool area will remain reservation ONLY, all 6 lanes will be open for lap swim and our therapy pool will be available for up to 3 members, excluding Tues. & Thurs. from 8am-12pm, which is reserved for the OCH Rehab services. The large pool will now have available two lanes for swimming on Mon, Tues, Thurs, and every other Friday from 6-8pm during the OCHS’ Swim Team practice. A copy of the schedule can be requested at the courtesy counter for OCHS swim meets, for which the pool area must be closed from 5-8pm.  We will resume our group exercise classes beginning Jan. 4th, with new classes added.  The schedule has been posted on social media with times.  All CDC guidelines must be followed.

We ask that you wear a mask into the facility and in common areas and sanitize your hands upon arrival. All members must check in with a key tag at the front desk. Masks will be used at your discretion while working out. Social distancing must be maintained at all times, and members will be asked to follow a flow of traffic that is clearly marked. You will enter through the right side door. To exit, walk through the swimming pool area, through the male or female locker room, and out the front door.

Thank you again to our members for complying with our guidelines. By working together, we will remain open and eventually, prayerfully, get back to full functionality!
