The recreation centers are reducing the fitness class sizes and number of those who can be inside the facilities, per CDC guidelines.

The facilities will also operate under the following guidelines:

  • Patrons must register for 45-minute time slots to use fitness rooms, group exercise classes or the walking track at the Greater Dayton facility. Registration is available by calling or visiting a facility.
  • Patrons must wear a mas and sanitize their hands upon when entering a facility. They also are required to complete a temperature screening and answer three health-related questions.
  • Showers and lockers will not be available. Patrons need to come dressed ready for their activity.
  • Restrooms are only available for their intended purposes and not for changing clothes.
  • When activities are complete, patrons are required to exit immediately through the assigned exit door.
