Our services will be limited in order to ensure they are delivered in a safe and supportive way and to comply with public health and state mandates. The
facility will be open only to Y members for:
Cardio and strength training in the Health & Wellness Center and the gym by reservation.
Stretching and floor workout space in the gym also by reservation.
Singles play in the Tennis Center by reservation. (More information HERE.)
If you plan to return to your Y during Phase 1 of reopening, please know that our procedures, policies and offerings have changed in response to guidelines from health experts, local officials and Ys across the country. Staff are attending online and in-house trainings so that they understand these procedures and are able to answer members' questions. Please familiarize yourself with this new way of operating at your Y to ensure a smooth transition.
Bring a mask or face covering for your nose and mouth to wear at check-in and when walking through the facility (NOT required during your workout.) This marks a change from our previous communication regarding masks.
We will take your temperature via a touchless thermometer upon arrival and ask you to answer 5 health questions regarding COVID-19 exposure and symptoms at every visit before entering the facility.
Wash hands or use hand sanitizer before entering and exiting the facility (at a provided hand washing/sanitation station.)
Y staff members will be wearing face coverings, cleaning and sanitizing high-use areas and enforcing 6-feet physical distancing requirements.
Entering & Exiting the facility:
Enter the facility through the double doors in our van lot (NW corner of our facility). There is a handicap ramp for those with mobility challenges.
Child care families enter through main doors. Tennis Center members go directly to the Tennis Center.
Exit the facility at our temporary exit-only doors next to the vending machines and Fun Club (members will need to check out with Y staff at exit doors).
Note: Our check-in and check-out procedures aid contract tracing requirements if anyone tests positive for COVID-19.
Reserving your fitness time:
You can register for 1-hour blocks of time up to 1 week in advance. This gives you access to cardio and strength training in the Health & Wellness Center and the gym, and stretching and floor workout space in the gym.
If you need more than 1 hour for exercise you may register for consecutive time blocks with a maximum of 2 hours per day.
Spaces are limited in order to follow physical distancing guidelines and our new operating hours.
In your Daxko App. Make sure you've entered your membership card number in the "Cards" section of the App. Then simply go to "Programs" and find a day and time that you'd like to reserve.
By calling your Y: 541.686.9622.
Working out at the Y:
Wipe down equipment BEFORE and AFTER use.
Plan your workouts around the new gym etiquette: Once you start on a piece of equipment, you will need to complete all your repetitions and sets and then sanitize it. Working-in and supersets will not be allowed.
We have spaced equipment out in the Health & Wellness Center and in the basketball gym. Some pieces were removed entirely to provide adequate physical distancing, or because they are not able to be easily sanitized. These include: both rowing machines, one of the hand bikes, the prone T-bar row, the preacher curl station, all foam rollers, sand rolls and weight belts.
Abide by occupancy limits. In order to provide adequate physical distance, your Y is limiting the number of people in each area.
Bring your own sweat towel. There will be no towel service.
Limit your belongings (i.e. your keys and phone). There will be no day-use lockers.
Allergy-sufferers: please note that windows and doors will be open.
Bring your own filled water bottle. Water fountains will not be in use other than the bottle-fill fountain. (Bottles of water will be available for $1, but cash is not accepted; purchases will be charged to the card on your account.)
Follow one-way pathways noted by floor decals throughout the facility.
Three bathrooms are available for use: One in the Movement Center hallway outside the gym and two on the pool deck. No showers.

We understand that these changes mean that your Y looks and feels very different from what you are used to. We are trying our best to proceed with caution while still offering important services. Your patience and understanding is appreciated as we slowly reopen.
Many of you will continue to stick close to home, and we want you to know that we are still here for you. We'll continue our live Zoom and YouTube fitness classes.
The Y isn't a building. It's people from all backgrounds and walks of life who come together to improve their lives, nurture their families and strengthen their community, together. Thank you so much for being a part of our incredible mission to build a better us.
