FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

QUESTION: Do members have to wear masks to enter the building?
ANSWER: Yes, starting July 23, 2020 per the Ohio mask order. You may take off your mask if you are actively exercising or playing sports.

 

Q: Can I bring in a towel?
A: Yes. Members can bring in a towel for their personal use (face, hands, neck, etc.). Cleaning of any YMCA machines or equipment will be done with supplies that are provided.

 

Q: Do members have to make appointments to come in?
A: No, walk in any time we're open -- just like you did before!

 

Q: Do I have to make a reservation to attend a class?
A: No. Classes will be held in a space appropriate for participants to maintain the recommended 6-foot distance. For example, we may start in what's been called the "group exercise room," but move to one side of the gym or outdoors if we have a number of participants that would crowd the space.

 

Q: Do I have to reserve pool space?
A: No. When the pool is open, swimmers can select a lap in which to swim, jog or do whatever aquatic exercises fit in their lane. 

 

Q: Can I bring in my own water bottle?
A: Yes, please stay hydrated! You will be able to refill it at one of the hands-free stations in the Fitness Center in both Massillon and Navarre. (Traditional water fountains will not be available.)

 

Q: Will you have cleaning supplies available?
A: Yes. We're stocked up on spray bottles with the appropriate virucide. In the building, members are encouraged to carry one that we will provide and to use our disposable products to wipe down any equipment or machines after use. YMCA staff will also be cleaning.

 

Q: Are locker rooms open?
A: Yes. As is the recommendation throughout the building, please maintain distance between yourself and other members.

 

Q: What classes are being offered?
A: Please check the schedule for classes.
