Greetings!
We hope this email finds you well. We are excited to announce that we will be reopening our facility on Wednesday, July 1st! We have prepared the facility to meet or exceed the Phase 4 State of Illinois guidelines. We encourage you to read the guidelines
here
. Please see below for important updates and how they will impact you as a member.

Membership Reactivation
In Phase 4 we will be reactivating memberships, however, if you wish to keep your membership frozen, or continue to use the punch pass from phase 3, we have an option for you to opt out of your reactivation. You can opt out by clicking the link below and providing the needed information. Reactivated members will be able to enjoy unlimited group exercise classes again (both indoor and outdoor) and full use of the facility, including lap swim.
Once activated, a two week credit will be given for the month of March to those who have monthly dues. Prorated July fees will be charged the first week of July, then regular monthly billing will resume August 1, 2020. For those who paid for the year in full, renewal dates will be extended for the full length of the shutdown.
Please take a few minutes to read the rest of this email for our adjusted hours, changes to group exercise, policies, and expectations. Thank you.

Changes to Group Exercise
Classes will be held in three different areas of the facility:
Studio 1:
Indoor Studio
Studio 2:
Back parking lot with tent
Studio 3:
Northeast side of building with tent
We will be adding more time between classes to allow for proper cleaning and sanitation of equipment by members and staff.
We plan to have the schedule out to you very soon. We are putting the final touches on the updated schedule and we're waiting to hear back from some instructors, but we plan to offer
Zumba, Body Pump, TBC, Water Aerobics, Latin Fusion, Yoga, Step
, and more. Please note that we will be making changes to the schedule as needed and the Lakeview App will always have the most up to date class offerings. We will also communicate through the app if classes are canceled due to weather or low attendance.
We know that
Water Aerobics
is a high demand class, so we want to address that by informing you there will be limited classes at Lakeview which will be included in reactivated memberships, but there is also a program option over at the Family Aquatic Center for an additional cost. Click
here
for the program options and information.
*Group exercise classes will now have a required minimum in order to run. Any class that does not have a minimum of 4 participants registered via the Lakeview app at least an hour before class begins will be canceled. Walk-ins still welcome as long as there is room in the class, and maximums will also be strictly enforced, so preregistration is highly encouraged.

Reserve a Spot Via Lakeview App
|
To ensure we do not exceed the capacity guidelines in Phase 4, we will continue to utilize a reservations system for group exercise classes and lap swim. The capacity for each area is as follows:
- Indoor Group Exercise & Water Aerobics: 14 participants
- Outdoor Group Exercise: Varies based on studio (please use the app to see capacity for each class)
- Lap Swim: 4 per 45 minutes
- Cardio/Weight Room: 40 people (no reservation needed)
If you are having trouble reserving a spot in our App, please feel free to call or email us. Contact info is below.

Reminder: How to Reserve a Spot
You must reserve a spot for group exercise and lap swim through the
Lakeview Fitness App
. Reservations will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Walk-ins are welcome if there are remaining spots, but a minimum of 4 must be met via the app in order for class to run. Participants and lap swimmers will be highly encouraged to pre-register to secure a spot.
Here are the four simple steps you need to take to reserve a spot in one of our classes or in the pool:
- Open the Lakeview Fitness App on your phone
- Click on the Find a Class tile
- Select the class or pool time slot you'd like to attend
- Click on Book Class
That's it! Once you do that you are all set. We ask participants to arrive a maximum of 15 minutes early to your class, scan your phone at the check-in area and you are good to go. Outdoor classes will continue to check in from the back parking lot to avoid extra foot traffic in the building.
We ask that you think of other members when reserving class spots and lap swim given the limited spots available in certain areas. Please limit reservations to ones you intend to keep and cancel those you don't. Cancellation process is the same as the reservation process.

Working Out Safe
At Lakeview Fitness, we are committed to the safety of our members and staff and have studied the guidelines to meet or exceed the safety measures in a attempt to make all who enter our facility feel safe. Below is a list of some of the changes we have made in accordance with the Phase 4 guidelines:
- There will be a capacity limit of no more than 50% occupancy
- We will continue to use EPA approved disinfectant sprays and hand sanitizers that have been approved by the CDC as being effective against COVID-19
- We have increased the number of sanitation and disinfectant stations throughout our facility
- We have removed and repositioned equipment to allow for the appropriate spacing between machines (3ft with a barrier, 6ft with no barrier). A select few machines have been decommissioned rather than being removed.
- We have installed two AirPHx units, one in the cardio/weight room, one in the group ex studio which eliminates viruses, bacteria, order, and other harmful organisms in the air and on surfaces. Click here for more info.
- We have installed barriers between machines and also at the front desk between members and staff
- Water fountains are for water bottle refilling only. Please bring your own water bottle.
- All staff will be required to wear face masks in the facility and improved sanitation measures with more frequent hand washing and sanitation of high touch points throughout the facility such as keyboards and door handles
- Available lockers in locker room have been spaced out and marked for proper distancing
- Fitness Attendants will have a constant presence around the facility to enforce cleaning measures with members before and after use of equipment
- Step-N-Pulls have been installed on bathroom and locker room doors to eliminate the touch point of door handles
- A deep clean of the facility will take place every night
- Indoor group fitness sizes have been reduced to ensure at least 10 ft of distance between participants and will exit through studio door to limit foot traffic through lobby
- While we are not requiring the use of face masks while actively working out, we do ask that members wear masks when in common areas such as the hallway, lobby, bathrooms and locker rooms
