We know you have questions. We've got you covered. No, you will not be required to wear a mask while exercising, however at all other times, the YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga will required the wearing of masks effective Friday, July 10. Here's what you need to know:
- In accordance with the recent directive given by the Hamilton County Mayor, anyone entering the YMCA facilities must wear a face covering or mask EXCEPT DURING EXERCISE (including wellness floor, cycle, group exercise classes, pool, etc.). The mandate will not impair your workout experience at the Y, as an exception is in the mandate to allow for those exercising outdoors, in small groups, or adhering to proper social distancing. Note: Children under the age of 12 are excluded from the mandate.
One of the key tenets of the Y is social responsibility. We believe we have a duty to help protect each other.
For our part, the Y will continue to:
• Temperature-check all staff upon entry
• Frequently sanitize facilities and equipment
• Monitor programs and facilities and make decisions as appropriate
• Watch how the Y is providing a safe and clean environment
