And from taking temperatures to wiping down equipment after every use -- safety can only go so far-- employees are required to wear masks.

As for customers -- "we strongly encourage it.

If they want to wear one at least into the common areas coming into the y leaving the y, the lobby.

Until you get to your work out area.

But members are always welcome to wear a mask all the time if they feel more comfortable."

And for those unable to keep up with their fitness at home they were excited to start working out again.

"i used it every day.

And it's been torture without it."

"you want to so bad and you just can't do it yet-- you have no weights no nothing.

That one there with only a ten maximum people allowed right now under the governor's guidelines, we won't be able to stay under ten or ten or under number there so we really need that social max number to increase.".
