Liberty Lightning

Beginning Monday, July 19, we are reducing the number of group fitness classes provided virtually due to decreased demand and increasing in-person attendance. These classes will continue in person, which will allow our instructors to give their undivided attention to those attending in the club.
|
|
Some of our most popular virtual classes will still be offered virtually, which are listed below. We thank all of those who have patiently supported our instructors’ efforts to deliver the Liberty experience regardless of your location. We will continue to explore new and exciting ways of leveraging technology to ensure you receive the best possible group fitness experience.
If you're out of town, or short on time, don’t forget about our library of on-demand classes, available at liberty.daxkoondemand.com
Classes remaining virtual:
- Tuesday, 10:30am Yin Yoga
- Friday, 10:30am Yin Yoga
- Sunday, 10am WERQ
Class sizes are still limited, please don't forget to register for group fitness classes through the member portal or mobile to ensure your spot in class!

Mask and Gathering Orders |
In the MDHHS’s most recent rescission of the gatherings and face mask order, the following policies and practices are now in effect:
- Masks are no longer required in the club.
-
Child care (Treehouse Activity Center) and Liberty Day Camp will align with the other areas of our club; masks will be optional, but not required.
- Capacity guidelines have been lifted and we may now service up to 100% of our building’s full capacity on any given day. No longer will we require members to check OUT from the club, as maintaining an overall attendance record will not be necessary.
- Class capacity in the Group Fitness and Mind Body studios have increased to reflect a maximum of 15 participants.
As always, we encourage anyone who wishes to wear a face mask to continue to do so. Further guidance from MDHHS will dictate future changes to Liberty policies. Until then, we encourage our community to remain healthy and safe as we look forward to a bright future ahead.
