Welcoming You Back to My Gym Long Beach

Make new memories at our:

• Weekly and UNLIMITED Classes
• Exclusive Practice & Plays (open-gym times)
• Thrilling Birthday Celebrations
• Themed Seasonal Camps
• Special Holiday Events

Public health authorities, government officials, and our health and safety team continue to monitor health and safety conditions carefully and adapt these guidelines as necessary.

As we have done since we began our phased reopening, we’ve been very cautious and gradual in our approach to our COVID-19 health and safety policies. Based on recent trends and statistics, My Gym Long Beach is adjusting these policies. These policies may continue to change as appropriate, so check back to this page for the latest updates.

Anyone showing symptoms of illness is asked not to come to class. If someone shows symptoms of illness (to any degree) at any point during their scheduled program, they and their party will be asked to leave. If you, your child, or anyone in your household have been in contact with someone with covid-19, please see the article here about when to return to class.

See below for important details to know before you visit.

Face Coverings

Guests are encouraged to wear face coverings. However, Guests may choose to wear masks based on their comfort level

For the safety of the little ones, grandparents, and guests with autoimmune diseases or cognitive impairments, all Guests are encouraged to wear face coverings. However, Guests may choose to wear masks based on their comfort level.

If you choose to wear a face covering, we ask that they:
• Fully cover the nose and mouth and secure under the chin
• Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
• Be secured with ties or ear loops to remain hands-free

If you choose to wear a face covering, please make sure it is not a neck gaiter, open-chin bandana, face shield alone, or a face covering containing valves, mesh material, or holes.

My Gym staff will continue to wear masks.

Vaccinations

Covid-19 Vaccination is not required but is strongly encouraged

My Gym Long Beach does not require Guests to be vaccinated for covid-19. However, if you or your child are vaccinated for covid-19, you are encouraged to submit your vaccination status in the event that our policies change in the future.

My Gym Long Beach, and The State of California, strongly recommend that Guests 6 months to 13 years old complete their primary vaccination series or receive a booster dose (if eligible).

Program Reservations

Advance reservations or bookings are required to attend programs at My Gym Long Beach

We are managing attendance by requiring bookings, reservations, cancelations, and absences to be made in advance. Program reservations are exclusively limited for maximum fun and safety.

To accommodate as many families as possible, reservations may be made available on a rolling basis. All availability can be checked in real-time by logging in at www.mygym.com/longbeach/account. It's best to check the website, as spots open up/close in real-time. If the class is full, it will not be available for you to book. If you can book it, there is a spot for you!

Important things to know

Enhanced Cleaning & Sanitizing

We thoroughly clean and sanitize before our programs start for the day and at the end of the day when our programs have ended. All surfaces are sanitized with an electric sanitizing sprayer between every program. Staff members' hands are sanitized between spotting each child.

We are following EPA-recommended Contact Time (which is the amount of time the treated surface should remain wet to be effective against COVID-19. We are also using sanitizing products recommended by the EPA to be effective against COVID-19).

Hand Washing

All members (children and adults) and staff members must wash their hands before playing on the gym floor and before leaving the gym. We know that you can never have enough hand sanitizer, so we've placed multiple hand sanitizers around the gym. Please make sure to sanitize your hands after touching your mask or eyes and blowing your nose.

Enhanced Filtration System

We use MERV-14 air filters (the same filtration grade used in general surgery rooms), which exceed the current standards for filtering out the COVID-19 virus. Multiple fans are placed around the gym to increase airflow. Doors and windows are kept open for maximum ventilation (weather permitting).

COVID-19 Warning

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and Guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable.

By visiting My Gym Long Beach, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.

Help keep each other healthy!
