Road closures for Kimbrough, Exeter and Farmington will be in effect between the hours of 1 and 4 pm.

We are happy to announce that new LED lighting will be installed in the natatorium early next month. This upgrade will provide a safer and more enjoyable experience for all of our swimmers, and is part of an ongoing commitment to improving our pool facilities. In addition to the lighting install, we will be making much needed repairs to our pool pump motor and installing new diving blocks.
Unfortunately, there will be some downtime during the installation process. The indoor pool and hot tub will be closed December 4-15. This two week period is a best case scenario, and we will keep you informed if more time is needed. We understand that this may cause some inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
If you are someone who only uses the pool and/or hot tub, you do have the option to place your membership on pause for the month of December. If you choose this option, please do so by November 25. This request can be made in person during our member services hours or online by completing a change request form.
Thank you for your continued support. For questions or concerns, please contact info@gacfitness.org or (901) 757-7370.

The weight room renovation is complete and most of the equipment is installed. A few items were on backorder but should arrive soon. Those items include the cable cross machine, several TRX accessories, and stretch trainers. We hope you’re excited with the outcome!
The wait is finally over! Over the past several months our team has been working on getting everything perfect for the weight floor renovation and new equipment arrival. We are happy to say that all of the stars have aligned, and we can release the details and timeline for the long awaited project.
New equipment will be arriving and installed on Monday, January 10. The weight floor will have new power racks, half racks, benches, bumper plates and platforms, a TRX system and much more.
In addition to new equipment and fitness accessories, we are getting a bit of a facelift in the weight floor area with all new flooring (rubberized and turf) and new bright, vibrant colors on the walls. We hope you LOVE it!
This exciting news doesn’t come without some adjustments. This project will take roughly two weeks to complete.
During the renovation and equipment move, the weight floor and Court 2 will be closed. We will move the old equipment into Court 2 to ensure minimal downtime for members.
Please keep in mind this does not affect the machines on the first basketball court or cardio deck.
December 29-January 10 - basketball court closed
December 30 - no access to weight floor equipment in Court 2 until after 1 pm
December 30-January 10 - weight floor equipment available for use in second basketball court
January 10 - weight floor reopens later in the day with new equipment and new flooring
We are grateful for your patience during this project and hope you are as excited about the outcome as we are!

It's been a while since our last meet so a few reminders are listed below.
The pool will be closed Saturday, 11:30 am-6 pm and Sunday, 10 am-3 pm.
The hot tub will be closed Saturday and will reopen after the meet on Sunday.

Due to the latest Shelby County Health Directive, masks are no longer required but are highly recommended in the Club with the exception of Child Care.
Because we are licensed by DHS, we fall within the school and daycare category, and there is no change to this. Children over the age of two and employees are required to wear a mask while in Child Care.
Shelby County Health Department has issued a mask requirement for all indoor settings effective Friday, August 20, 2021. In an effort to help slow the transmission and adhere to the directive put in place by SCHD, we are requiring that all members wear a mask/face covering while entering and exiting the building, as well as in common areas such as hallways, locker rooms, etc. Children ages two and up must also wear a mask if they are attending childcare.
Masks/face coverings may be removed to work out, and are not required to be worn outside at the outdoor pool.
Please bring your own mask, as we will not be providing them to those who forget. Thank you for your understanding and compliance in this matter.
We appreciate your patience while capacity restrictions have been in place, and we've learned a great deal in the process. Now that they are lifted we have decided to remove the reservation system for group fitness classes. The last day reservations will be required to attend a class is Wednesday, June 30.
Capacity restrictions remain for Silver Sneakers Classic and Cycle. We will revert back to pre-Covid operations for these classes which is first come first serve. As a reminder, members are not allowed to save bikes for other members.
For the time being, we will continue to utilize our reservation system for child care and lap swim.
We have a lot going on these next couple of weeks! As a reminder, we'll be getting new flooring and new equipment on Basketball Court 1. Everything in this space is getting replaced! Below is a timeline of temporary court closures and equipment locations.
In addition to this information, the elevator will be closed for maintenance Tuesday, June 22, 1-5 pm. Please contact us if you need assistance getting to the lower level.

In this month's Club Connect we released some exciting news about getting all new Precor and Free Motion selectorized equipment. This is the equipment that is currently located in the first basketball court. We're able to share the logistics now that we have a more definitive timeline.
We have received a few questions about whether or not the layout of the weight floor and the equipment on the first basketball court will go back to the way it was before the shut down, or remain the same. After careful consideration, the decision was made to keep the layout as it is for the foreseeable future. The free weights and racks will remain in the weight floor while the selectorized equipment will remain in the first basketball court. We will also be adding two smaller sets of dumbbells (5-30lb) and a space for stretching in this area as well. The carpet that was put down as temporary flooring will be removed and new rubber tile flooring will be installed before the new equipment is delivered.
On the morning of Wednesday June 23, the equipment on the weight floor will be closed while staff moves them to the second court in order to have the carpet removed and new flooring installed. Removal and installation will take place on June 24 and 25, and the new equipment will be delivered and set up on June 28 and 29. During this time the court will be closed to basketball in order to accommodate the weight equipment transition. We hope to have everything complete and the court back open the evening of June 29.
Since there will now only be one basketball court, a court schedule will be in place offering designated times for full court play. Outside of the designated times, full court play will not be permitted so that we can allow free play by others. The schedule is posted at the entrance of the basketball court and can be viewed on the Schedules page of our website.
The Club will be open 5 am-6 pm Monday, May 31 in observance of the Memorial Day holiday.
View our revised Child Care and Group Fitness schedules here.
The Club will be closed Sunday, April 4 in observance of the Easter holiday. Wishing you a happy holiday with family and friends.

The Shelby County Health Department recently released Mask Directive No. 5. It states that while face coverings are still required, those who cannot medically tolerate wearing one are no longer required to wear a face shield. No person declining to wear a face covering because of a medical condition is required to produce verifying medical documentation.
For those who are unable to wear a face covering due to a medical condition, please continue to be courteous and mindful of others by keeping a distance of 6 feet apart. Together we keep our Club safe.
Our records indicate that your membership at the Germantown Athletic Club is currently in the “freeze” status. We are reaching out to you to address your membership status options going forward.
Upon closing in mid-March last year and our subsequent reopening in early May, a percentage of Athletic Club members understandably expressed concerns regarding their level of comfort with returning to the facility upon reopening. Not knowing what the future held in regards to COVID-19, the opportunity to place memberships on hold (“freeze”) free of charge was extended to all members first until October 31. With the uptick in COVID-19 cases during the latter part of the year the free freeze opportunity was then extended to December 31, and most recently until March 31, 2021.
After much deliberation and discussion among our staff, we have made the decision not to extend this temporary policy change past March 31, 2021. This does not mean that your membership will become active on March 31; however effective April 1, 2021, the Club will reinstate its original policies as they relate to membership freezes: Memberships on freeze will be charged a freeze fee of $10 per month with a maximum of four (4) months out of a calendar year that can be frozen. Any memberships still in the freeze status on April 1, 2021, will be charged the monthly freeze fee unless their membership is reinstated. If you would like to stay in the freeze status, there is no need to contact us. We will adjust your freeze date automatically.
This past year has been trying; however, we are convinced we have all learned a great deal from this situation and are stronger because of it. Operationally, the Germantown Athletic Club may now look a bit different, but our core mission has remained the same. We are still committed to providing the best health and wellness offerings for our members and community.
We have received many emails and calls about how we are operating and what precautions are in place. We invite you to come by to see the changes and measures being taken to make us a safe and trusted destination for you and your family. You can also check out our website for a current list of COVID-19 protocols and measures that we have in place.
As always, if you have questions please feel free to contact us at (901) 757-7370 or info@gacfitness.org.
