Gottlieb Center for Fitness COVID-19 Guidelines

Due to the evolving nature of COVID-19, along with close monitoring of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) guidelines – we will update this page with any facility, program or general COVID-related updates.

Please be assured that your safety, as well as the safety of our staff is our priority. We ask that you please be courteous of others and follow the procedures listed below throughout your visit.

How We're Keeping You Safe

• Masking is currently optional inside our fitness center — it is not a required mandate at this time. Please feel free to mask if it makes you feel more comfortable.
   
• We have implemented enhanced cleaning protocols to keep our facility as clean as possible.
   
• Sweat towels will no longer be provided. Members may request a shower towel from the customer service counter. Cloth towels are not allowed in the workout areas. All towels must remain inside the locker rooms and or used on the pool deck.
   
• A water bottle refill station has been installed in the vending area for fresh drinking water.

How to Do Your Part

• Antibacterial gym wipes are provided throughout the center. Members are required to wipe down all equipment with gym wipes immediately after every usage.
   
• If you are sick, please do not come to the center. Individuals showing signs of respiratory illness (coughing, sneezing, etc.) will be asked to leave the center until symptoms subside.
   
• Practice self-health screening. Please do not enter the center if you have had close contact within the last 14 days with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
   
• Be respectful of others around you and maintain a reasonable/respectful social distance.
