Staying Safe Together

 

The Buckeye Valley Family YMCA is implementing the following safety protocols in an effort to reduce the health risks for members, staff and other visitors to our facility.

 

WHAT THE Y IS DOING

  • Single Entry/Exit: To help us maintain our safety protocols, we will maintain a single entry/exit point at all YMCA locations.
  • Regular Temperature Checks for All Staff: all staff will receive temperature checks before being allowed to start their work shift.
  • PPE for All Staff: all staff will be required to wear face coverings and other personal protective equipment.
  • Limit Hand-to-Hand Transactions: Members will be asked to make payments online, EFT or credit card on file.
  • Designed for Social Distance: all open areas inside the Y have been evaluated and redesigned where necessary to help ensure social distancing between members. Signage will be placed prominently throughout the facility to drive awareness of this requirement.

HOW WE'RE ASKING MEMBERS TO HELP MAINTAIN SAFETY

 

The YMCA appreciates members' adherence to the following safety precautions during their visits:

  • Stay Home if You're Sick: Members should stay home if they don't feel well. The CDC and public health officials encourage seniors and members of vulnerable populations, including those with underlying health conditions, to stay home.
  • Be Ready to Sign a Waiver: All members will be required to sign a waiver when you enter the center for the first time acknowledging the risk associated with COVID-19.
  • Keep the Kids at Home: Child Watch service at this time is limited capacity and we recommend you not bring children and other family members with you as common area seating will be extremely limited.
  • Bring a Towel, a Face Covering and a Water Bottle (But no Bags): Members will be asked to bring their own water bottle and a personal workout towel (towel services will only be provided for wiping down equipment). ONLY bottle refilling stations will be available on limited water fountains. The Y also requests that members bring a face covering and wear it whenever possible, especially in common areas where other members are present. Bags of any type or size should be left at home.
  • Keep Your Distance: Please exercise on designated equipment only and respect all signage regarding social distancing. Strive to maintain at least six feet between you and others whenever possible.
  • Expect Reduced Capacity: To ensure proper social distancing, our wellness areas will have a limited capacity. At time of full capacity, you will be asked to wait in a designated area until space is available.
  • Remember to Wipe Down Equipment: Please help reduce the risk of exposure by wiping down all equipment, weights, mats, etc. with the provided cleaning materials.
