Community Fitness of Morgantown’s physical location will reopen on Monday, May 18, 2020

We were already fully prepared with a thoughtful plan on how to reopen our space in the healthiest way for our community. Below you will see an outline for memberships, communications, facility deep-cleaning, and updated procedures to continue to keep people healthy and safe in our space. All elements are being implemented and the physical location will reopen on Monday, May 18, 2020.

Health/Safety 

The health and safety of the CrossFit Morgantown community, and the  greater Morgantown/state at-large, is our top priority.  Our mission is to use fitness as a catalyst to support our community and help others recognize their full potential. We cannot do that if we are not taking every precaution to keep our members healthy. 

Community Fitness of Morgantown Health Task Force

Within our membership, we are very blessed to have many health and medical professionals. We have formed a group that is serving us as advisors with their expertise and wisdom as we move forward with a plan to re-open our space. 

This group currently includes the following: 

  • Bonnie Snider-Forman (Physician, CrossFit MDL1 certified) 
  • Shon Rowan (Physician, CrossFit MDL1 certified) 
  • Peter Wentzel (Physician) 
  • Maggie Snively (Nurse) 
  • Kayla Koon (Nurse) 
  • Kate Kozak (Microbiologist) 
  • Lisa Hostutler (Pharmacist) 

Any members that have a strong interest in joining can reach out and be added to this task force. 

Class Procedures/Social Distancing 

The health and safety of our members and community is our greatest priority. We understand that change is hard. It is our duty to provide the safest space possible through this time. With that in mind, we have created a specific plan for each phase of the country’s reopening. We will begin with more intense measures to protect our members, then we will slowly phase some of these changes out as the state and federal government eases mandates. 

**THIS CAN CHANGE BASED ON THE SPECIFIC GUIDELINES THAT COME THROUGH THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE. WE WILL ADJUST AS NECESSARY. 

  • Class sizes will be limited to 12 per class.
  • Members will be asked to wait in their vehicle until the garage doors are opened. (We will be using only the garage door as an entrance/exit at this time, to avoid touching of door knobs.) 
  • Each member will have a blocked off space to use during the duration of the class, with no less than 10 feet of distance between each.
  • Each space will be set up with all of the equipment needed, including options for various weight sizes and access to a location on the rig.
  • Each space will also have disinfectant spray, paper towels, and individual trash receptacles.
  • Coaches will keep a safe distance from all members, but still provide superior coaching.
  • We will be providing additional sanitation supplies throughout the space, including the restrooms.
  • Based on CDC recommendations, we will be keeping the air-flow at a maximum by keeping all doors (including the garage doors) open as much as possible and keeping all fans turned on.
  • During this time, we will be removing our communal chalk buckets. To make up for this, we will be providing each member with an individual complimentary bag of chalk. 
  • The class schedule has been revised to allow more cleaning time between each class. 

Cleaning Protocols

Cleaning Prior To Reopen: 

This has been happening throughout the closing, but we are completing an additional detailed deep-cleaning in the 48 hours prior to reopening. We have reviewed the CDC guidelines and will be following or going beyond their suggestions. 

Each individual piece of equipment is also being disinfected prior to the reopen. That includes each piece that has been rented during this time. All will go through a disinfection process upon it’s return to the space. 

 

Ongoing Cleaning: 

  • Each member will be asked to clean their equipment after each use. Each lane will have a bottle with a disinfecting cleaning solution, disposable paper towels, and a trash receptacle. These supplies will be replenished each day. 
  • We are staggering class time to allow for additional cleaning between classes, during which time the staff will be cleaning and disinfecting each piece of equipment. 
  • At the end of each day, we will be using an industrial grade floor scrubber to clean and disinfect the floors. 
  • At the end of each day, we will do an additional wipe-down of equipment and general space. 
  • At the end of each day, we will also be using an industrial grade ULV fogger to disinfect the space. 
  • Restrooms and dressing rooms will also be fogged each night, and will receive a deep-cleaning weekly.
