Blink Fitness Plans to Reopen Virginia Beach Location
Fitness Brand Reopens Clubs with New Social Distancing Guidelines and Enhanced Cleaning Procedures
NEW YORK, June 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Blink Fitness today announced that, in accordance with local and state reopening guidelines in Virginia, the Virginia Beach club will be reopening.
The club will open on Wednesday, June 10, 2020 with modified operating hours:
- Monday-Friday: 6:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m.
- Saturday/Sunday: 7:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
These abbreviated hours will allow for thorough cleaning and disinfecting procedures overnight. With the reopening process carefully developed and executed, Blink is excited to welcome members and employees back into the gym.
The reopened Virginia Beach club will be operating at 30% capacity on a first come, first served basis. Consistent with CDC and local guidelines, Blink recommends members wear masks when entering the gym and when they are within ten feet of another person. All Blink employees will be wearing masks and gloves at all times. Staff will be taking the temperatures of members and employees as they enter the gym. Per local guidelines, any member or employee with a temperature of 100.4°F or higher will not be given access to the gym. All further protocols and safety details can be found in our new Blink Promise.
When gyms reopen, all memberships will be unfrozen, and billing will resume on a normal schedule. Blink understands that not everybody will be ready to come back to the gym right away, and the company is offering members the option to refreeze their membership for an additional 30 days at no cost.
"At Blink Fitness, our members' health and wellness has always been a top priority," said Virginia Beach club owner, Carlos Gavidia. "This is the Blink standard."
Blink is asking members to play their part in helping keep employees and the larger community safe and healthy by following new gym rules, those can be found in the Blink Responsibility rules (below the Blink Promise).
