Welcome Back Chesterton Members

Phase 4 Updates

#MaskUpHoosiers

THE SAFETY OF OUR MEMBERS, STAFF AND COMMUNITY REMAINS OUR TOP PRIORITY

Last Updated: February 2, 2021

Dear Valued Members,

We are excited to announce that effective Wednesday, February 3^rd, our group exercise class capacities will offer increased class size availability. This update is possible due to the recently rescinded Lake County Health Department order that restricted class capacities to 25%, which took effect back on November, 30th. The order also required us to enforce capacity restrictions on the total amount of people within the club, that restriction has also be rescinded.

IMPORTANT: Please find comfort in knowing we are still operating under strict COVID-19 safety precautions and continue to rely on sound data provided by local and state officials, with added guidance from our expert infectious disease doctors at Franciscan Health.

Here’s a list of things to know for your next visit to the club:

What’s Changing:

Club capacity is no longer limited to 200 people
Group Exercise Classes are no longer limited to 25%. Class capacities are now as follows:
Studio 41 – 29 people
Performance Studio – 24 people
Cycling Studio – 23 people
Aquatics Classes – 18 people
Team Training – 15 people
Aquatic Equipment has returned for use (Yay!!!)

As a reminder, we will continue to implement the following:

Masks are still required to be worn at all times (pools and showers being the only exceptions)
6’ of social distance is to be maintained at all times
Basketball and volleyball are not allowed to be played at this time
Whirlpools remain open to single users
Saunas and steam rooms remain closed
No Family Hours at this time
Kid Zone remains closed
Advance registration via MYiCLUB is still required for all classes
Temperature screening upon check-in is still required
Extra sanitizing stations remain in place
As always, members are expected to wipe down equipment before and after use

Please know that because we operate (2) Fitness Centers, one in Lake County and one in Porter County, we will operate under the guidelines of the County with the strictest protocols so that both facilities can be aligned for reciprocity purposes.

Thank you for your continued commitment to your health at our Fitness Centers. Your ability to remain healthy and fight disease has never been more important. Together, we will fight through this pandemic to ensure a healthier 2021.

Yours in Health,

Jill Schneider

Prayer for Prosperity of Health

Highly Exalted Lord, I ask for prosperity for my body. Please grant me many years of life, a sound mind, strength to my muscles, bones, heart, and lungs, a powerful immune system, and excellent agility. The healthier I am, the more thoroughly I can do Your work. Lord, I thank You that when I pay attention to Your words and keep them within my heart that they bring health to my whole body. Amen.
