Health & Safety during COVID-19

For the health and safety of all of our members, as well as our teachers, we are asking that everyone please follow the policies below. Together, we can help to make sure that My Gym continues to be a fun and safe environment for children to play.

Rules and Policies for attending activities inside of the gym:

Attend: Please register for classes, Practice & Play, events and STEAM Learn and Play Fun Days ahead of time. On the day of your chosen class or playdate, show up to the gym no more than 5 minutes ahead of your time slot. We’ll be busy cleaning in between playgroups and giving the previous group time to exit.

Timing: Please arrive no more than 5 minutes prior to the start of class. This gives the previous group time to exit and allows the teachers time to clean the lobby and high traffic areas in the gym. If you arrive a little earlier, you are welcome to wait in our lobby until the gym floor is clean and ready for you and your child to come in and play!

Social Spacing: We are accepting a limited number of children in the gym at a time and ask that social spacing guidelines be followed to the best of your ability. During circle time, we ask that only 1 adult at a time be seated at the circle to help maintain social distance. Other adults are welcome to be in the gym, and we ask that they please stand to the side or in the lobby during circle time.
Masks: In accordance with CDC recommendations for indoor activities in areas of high transmission, masking is highly recommended in all indoor settings.
Self-screen: When coming in to the gym we ask that you complete a self-screen. On the day of the class, please self screen you and your child at home. If you answer yes to any of the following questions, please email us to cancel for that day.
- Have you or anyone in your family tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 14 days?
- Have you or anyone in your family been exposed to someone who tested positive COVID-19 in the last 14 days?
- Have you or anyone in your family been feeling ill and experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, or difficulty breathing?
- If you answered yes to any of these questions above, please let us know.
- Please keep in mind that COVID-19 is not the only contagious illness that is passed around and it is very important to keep children (and adults) that are not feeling well at home until they are feeling better. We do reserve the right to ask anyone showing any signs of illness to reschedule.

Water: We are asking that all participants bring their own water bottles to be used at our water filling stations.
Upon entering the gym we are requiring participants to wash their hands for 20 seconds or thoroughly sanitize their hands using hand sanitizer provided. In addition, we will do a temperature check of anyone entering the gym. If your child is coughing, sneezing, has a runny nose, or a fever please reschedule for a different day. We have very flexible scheduling options.

Thank you for your cooperation with each of these policies. Together we can keep My Gym Bel Air a safe a fun place to play!
