SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Industry-leading fitness brand 24 Hour Fitness prepares to reopen clubs post-COVID-19 as state and local governments and public health agencies indicate it is safe to do so and as stay-at-home orders are lifted. 24 Hour Fitness clubs reopened recently in Dallas and Houston with the next slate of clubs scheduled to reopen in the coming weeks in Hawaii, Miami and Austin, among other markets including parts of the East Coast and California.

24 Hour Fitness has put in place a comprehensive program to ensure a healthy and safe club environment for team and club members:
- Touch-free check in can now be accomplished in the club through the 24 Hour Fitness free 24GO® personalized fitness app just by using your phone and the 24GO app
- Social distancing will be promoted throughout clubs with signage, spacing indicators and more. This may include temporary closures of amenities that cannot be used under social distancing guidelines, and decommissioning select cardio and strength equipment throughout the club to ensure proper spacing
- Signage at the club exterior and throughout the club’s interior to help remind members and team members of important safety protocols
- Personal training and studio classes may meet in carefully chosen club areas where members can safely maintain social distancing
- Clubs will be open from 5:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. daily
- Clubs will initially be open for 60 minute sessions throughout the day (with reservations to be made one day in advance through the 24GO app). Each workout session is followed by a 30 minute closure for club cleaning between sessions, in addition to already stringent cleaning procedures
- And, while some clubs are temporarily closed as well as after clubs are reopened, everyone is encouraged to utilize the 24GO app for a selection of over 1,500 workouts that can be conducted anywhere with or without equipment and based on the time you have available. The brand also recently launched 24GO LIVE, the new 24/7 workout experience broadcast on the 24 Hour Fitness YouTube Channel, among other virtual fitness solutions.
