In a letter/email to its members, the YMCA of the Foothills announced its re-opening plans for the Crescenta-Cañada and Verdugo Hills branches of their facilities on June 22. When arriving at the Crescenta-Cañada branch members will first enter the welcome center and multi-purpose room, which has recently been renovated. The locker rooms are still under renovation so they will not be opened to the public, and the pool will also be closed at the Crescenta-Cañada facility. The pool at the Verdugo Hills branch will be open for lap swim. In addition the new strength and cardio room will be open at Verdugo Hills branch.
There will be a few new protocols that are based on CDC, Los Angeles Dept. of Health and local governing agency guidelines.
• Everyone will need to sign an updated waiver the first time they enter.
• Everyone will need to answer a few brief health questions before they enter.
• Staff will wear face masks for everyone’s protection. We ask that you wear yours in common areas except when exercising.
• Equipment will be physically distanced.
• High traffic equipment, group exercise classes, and VHY lap swim will utilize a new reservation system to safeguard against overcrowding. More information to come.
• Operating hours will be 8 a.m. – 8 p.m., Monday thru Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. We will be closed Sundays to start.
• The Crescenta Valley branch will be used for camp only.
• Building Blocks will be closed.
• Racquetball courts will be closed.
• Exercise rooms in the back of Crescenta-Cañada will be impacted intermittently by locker room construction.
• Livestream and virtual classes will continue.
