In addition to strict adherence to CDC cleaning protocols, we invested in new sanitation technologies:

We are using a range of industrial grade products that are registered with EPA and proven to be effective against viruses

We created a detailed cleaning regime to ensure all surfaces and high touch points are wiped down hourly

Sanitation solution sprayers are being used on all touch-points in the club throughout the day, such as cardio machines, strength equipment, computers, door handles and the front desk area. These easy-to-use devices emit a fine mist of disinfectant onto hard surfaces eliminating the need to wipe the surface after spraying.

Electrostatic Sprayers are cutting edge technology using an electrostatic-charged disinfect to sanitize hard surfaces using a hand-held sprayer. The touchless electrostatic technology allows the disinfectant to “wrap around” surfaces, such as gym equipment.

Biological Fogging machines emit small particles of sanitizing material into the air which bond to surfaces while killing bacteria and viruses and on surfaces to disinfect. At TAC, our fogging machines use a solution proven to eliminate harmful microorganisms. This process is non-toxic and leaves no chemical residue. Fogging will be conducted weekly.

Air Scrubbing was installed in HVAC ductwork at our clubs. This is a technology whereby microscopic oxygen and water molecules in the air enter the purification unit and pass through a matrix that transforms them into powerful oxidizers. Once released, they act as a supercharged purification system destroying 99% of all surface and airborne contaminants. This technology has been used at NASA.

Personal sanitation supplies are available throughout the club and in each functional area for use by members and employees

Hand sanitizer is available for member and employee use through the club. All hand sanitizer contains the CDC recommend alcohol percentage, proven to be effective to kill viruses.

Entryway & Lobby

All entryways will be staffed to manage the entry of members to facilitate social distancing.

Thermal body temperatures will be required for all members to gain entry to the club. These will be conducted by the staff member assigned to the entryway with a non-contact, touchless thermal scanner. Only 1 member will be allowed in the entryway at a time.
Any member with a temperature at or above 100.4°F will be required to provide a second temperature reading with a different thermometer. If their temperature still is at or above 100.4°F they will not be permitted inside the club. This protocol follows CDC guidelines.
Signage placed in all entryways informing members of TAC’s mitigation plan and states that any person with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 may not enter the club.
Entryways are equipped with hand-sanitizer.
Most main doors are now equipped with touchless entries.
Floor stickers mark holding patterns if a line forms outside the entryway.

Front Desk

Turnstile arms are removed to reduce touchpoints.
Hand-sanitizer is available for member and employee use.
There is limited food & beverage service; bottled, pre-packaged items only.
No cash transactions are allowed to reduce touchpoints.

Cycle & Cardio Areas

Cycle classes will resume soon.
Cardio machines have been tagged out to facilitate social distancing.
All wall-mounted and floor fans will remain off to prevent the accelerated spread of germs.
TAC will not provide headphones for members to reduce touchpoints.
Other areas of the club (i.e. basketball court, tennis courts) may be repurposed for the use of cardio equipment in order to socially distance members.
Equipment may be relocated to help allow people to spread out.

Free Weight & Strength Training

All free weight & plate-loaded strength training machine areas will have limited capacity.
Staff members will monitor this area to ensure adherence to occupancy limits and social distance standards are met.
Equipment will be dispersed throughout the clubs to promote social distancing.
The equipment is spaced out to facilitate social distancing.
Other areas of the club (i.e. basketball court, tennis courts) may be repurposed for the use of cardio equipment in order to socially distance members.
All fitness areas will be on an increased cleaning schedule with industrial-strength cleaner.
Personal sanitation supplies will be readily available throughout the facilities: sanitizing wipes and disinfecting spray.
Nightly sanitation of all fitness areas will occur.
Face coverings are required on the fitness floor for MOA and City of Juneau Clubs only.
Equipment may be relocated to help allow people to spread out.
