As of Saturday March 21, 2020 we are suspending all group classes  until further notice.   We continue to encourage you to continue taking personal responsibility for your health by cleaning machines before and after use. We would also recommend that you do all you can to use machines as far apart from others as possible. Social distancing is more important than ever.   Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.

As the world in general and our communities in particular wrestle with this crisis we want you to know that our hearts and prayers go out to those who have been affected already.

This crisis makes the role PRO Fitness plays in society more evident than ever. Your hard work with us helps mitigate the terrible effects illness can have on your body. Medical research is clear that people who exercise and lead a healthy way of life are better able to fend off illness than those who don’t.

At PRO Fitness we believe that our role and responsibility is to work in the best interest of our staff, members and communities at large to play a constructive role in helping contain this virus. We will make decisions through this lens and, as new information comes about, we will adapt as necessary based on current science-based information and guided by our Mission and Values.

We are reaching out to provide an update on the actions that PRO Fitness is taking  to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The majority  of our members have asked that we stay open throughout the crisis so that they can continue to lead the active, healthy lifestyle they believe is so important. Navigating this balance is difficult, to say the least.

You have likely noticed our increased cleaning and sanitization efforts over the last week. As you use the gym, we encourage you to continue taking personal responsibility for your health by cleaning machines before and after use. We would also recommend that you do all you can to use machines as far apart from others as possible. Social distancing is more important than ever. Many of us are used to gathering close together when in class situations gain additional motivation from the energy of the group. During this time we would like you to consider giving yourself a little more space than usual.

As you work to avoid getting this virus, please remember that it is recommended you get 7–8 hours of sleep per night. Studies investigating how sleep affects the immune system demonstrate that people who got fewer than six hours of sleep per night had a significant suppression of their immune system and have been shown to be more prone to getting sick with the common cold and influenza viruses.
 

Exercise is an immune system booster that improves immune defense activity. Research demonstrates a clear relationship showing that moderate exercise training helps mitigate disease risk.

Thank you for being a member of our PRO Fitness community.
