Our most recent communication on Friday, March 13, stated the Club would be open regular hours and programming and classes would be suspended. Since then, the CDC has recommended that gatherings of over 50 people should be cancelled or postponed at this time. We are taking this recommendation very seriously. The health of our staff, members and community is of utmost importance.
Due to these recommendations, the City of Germantown has made the decision to close Germantown Athletic Club, Germantown Performing Arts Center, the Germantown Community Library and The Great Hall & Conference Center until further notice. All Parks and Recreation programming has also been canceled. The Club will close today, Monday, March 16, at 5 p.m.
We will continue to update members through email, Facebook and our website. App notifications will also be pushed out. Please ensure app notifications are turned on if you are using this as a means of communication.
Due to this disruption in your membership, the Club will prorate dues for the amount of time we are closed. Credits will be issued once we reopen. We will not issue refunds.
As regular exercisers, we know you understand the value of staying active. We are looking into offering some virtual group fitness classes and we will provide details once we have more information. In the meantime, please follow social distancing suggestions and stay informed using credible sources such as www.CDC.gov/coronavirus.
We realize there still may be questions after this notification. We will make every effort to respond as quickly as possible. Emailing us at info@gacfitness.org is the best way to communicate, however, we can also be reached at 757-7370 during the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
We will continue to monitor the situation and follow the recommendations of county, state and federal health authorities, with the hope of reopening as soon as possible.
Lastly, we are grateful for our members and our team during these uncertain times. Thank you for your support and understanding. We look forward to brighter days ahead.
