NEW CHANGES AT THE Y

With the lifting of Ohio’s public health orders on June 2, we’re making some changes at the Y. We realize the pandemic isn’t over. We’ll continue to monitor our environment; CDC; and other public health recommendations; and any future federal; state or local requirements. Our goal is to provide the right balance of returning to normalcy while continuing to protect the health of our members, staff and the full community.

Reservations: Beginning June 1, you’ll no longer need reservations for Land Group Exercise Classes, Child Watch, Lap Swim, Family Swim or other use of the pools. Instead, Click here for the June Group Exercise Schedule and see below for the pool schedules. Our Marion Family YMCA Connect App also has current schedules.

Masks: Beginning June 2, we’re no longer requiring masks of members, guests or visitors. You’re welcome and encouraged to continue wearing a mask if that’s your preference. You’ll notice some staff and members who are wearing masks. Please show respect to everyone.

Hot tub, sauna and steam rooms: We’re removing the limit on the number of members in the hot tub at any one time. Users must be at least 18 years old. The saunas and steam rooms will remain closed for the time being. We’ll open them later this summer (July 28 at the latest, but likely sooner). We’re holding back on opening the saunas and steam rooms as we have a large summer day camp and may need to use all locker rooms for campers and to ensure we have adequate custodians for cleaning these spaces each day.

Coffee and Lobby: A favorite amenity is returning – free morning coffee in the lobby. Watch for this to start next week.

Some things that are continuing:

Members must bring your own exercise mat for Group Exercise classes.

Members should clean fitness equipment before and after each use. You’ll continue to find plenty of bottles & cleaning towels.

Members should scan out when you leave.

The Wellness Center emergency exit will remain available as an exit.

Please don’t come to the Y if you’re not feeling well of if you’ve been exposed to COVID-19.

All four locker rooms are open to children and adults.

This highlights our changes as of June 2. Thank you for your patience and understanding this past year and in the coming months are we continue to navigate the pandemic.
