COVID19 Coronavirus

03|2020

With the continuing spread of the COVID-19 Coronavirus in the Charlotte area, it is important to us to keep our community healthy and safe. We have been actively monitoring updates, and following the guidance of the CDC, state, and county to properly respond to the evolving situation, but we need your help.

What are we doing?

We are getting hand washing stations at both gym entrances.

We ask that every visitor wash their hands before entering the gym. We strongly encourage you to wash again before you leave. We have placed signs in the bathrooms reminding everyone to wash their hands. Every expert says good hygiene is one of the best thing’s individuals can do to protect themselves and others.

We have installed new hand sanitizing stations.

They will be located near the front doors at both gyms.

We have increased our cleaning efforts at the gym.

The front counter staff is more frequently cleaning surfaces with disinfectants.

We are requiring all program participants to wash their hands.

Youth team and party participants will be required to wash their hands as soon as they enter the gym and before they leave.

We are postponing all large events.

We were so stoked for our April screening of Pretty Strong and fundraiser for the CCC, but due to the circumstances we have decided to postpone Pretty Strong and all future events until the circumstances change.

What can you do?

Wash your hands.

Wash your hands thoroughly and often, before and after your climbing session. Avoid touching your face and mouth, and cover and cough or sneeze with a tissue or your sleeve.

Stay home if you are sick.

Remember the 24 hour rule. You must be fever and vomit free for at least 24 hours after being sick before returning to climb.

Consider climbing at off hours.

This will reduce the number of people you come in contact with. We know for many of you this is not possible, but we recently expanded hours at the South End gym and both gyms are generally much slower during the weekday mornings.

Wipe down workout equipment

Please wipe down all workout equipment before and after use.
