My Gym Louisville Illness & Wellness Policy

At My Gym Louisville, the safety and well-being of our children and families is our top priority. To maintain a healthy environment where all children can learn, play, and grow, we follow a clear and family-friendly illness policy. We appreciate everyone doing their part to keep our gym a safe, clean, and welcoming space.

Why Our Illness Policy Matters

When children attend class sick - even with mild symptoms - it increases the risk of spreading illness to other children, families, and staff. Our illness policy is designed to protect all participants, especially our youngest and most vulnerable. If you know your child will not be attending their scheduled home class, please log into your online My Gym account to mark them absent.

When to Keep Your Child Home

Please keep your child home from class, Practice & Play, Camp, Parent's Night Out, and Special Events if they show any of the following symptoms within the past 24 hours:

Fever

• Any temperature 100.4 or higher, even if controlled with medication.
• Children must be fever-free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medicine before returning

Vomiting or Diarrhea

• Any episode within the past 24 hours
• Children must be symptom-free for 24 hours before attending

Persistent Cough or Heavy Congestion

• Barking, hacking, wet coughs
• Difficulty breathing or excessive mucus

Cold of Flu Symptoms

• Green/yellow nasal discharge
• Body aches
• Sore throat
• Chills
• Active sneezing or constant runny nose

Rashed or Skin Conditions

• Unknown or contagious rashes
• Ringworm (must be treated for 24 hours and covered)

Eye Irritation

• Pink eye / conjunctivitis
• Red or goopy eyes
• Eyes crusted shut in the morning

Contagious Illness

Please notify us if you or your child is diagnosed with a communicable illness such as:

• RSV
• COVID-19
• Hand, Foot, & Mouth
• Strep Throat
• Flu
• Impetigo
• Lice
• Any illness your pediatrician advises keeping them home for.

When Your Child May Return to Class

Your child may return when:

• Symptoms have resolved for 24 hours without medication
• They have enough energy to safely participate in physical activity
• Any contagious condition has been treated for the required time (typically 24 hours)
• They are no longer coughing, vomiting, feverish, or visibly unwell

If unsure, please reach out - we're happy to help!

If a Child Becomes Ill During Class

If a child develops concerning symptoms while in the gym (fever, vomiting, persistent coughing, rash, etc.), a team member may ask the caregiver to take them home.

If your child is asked to leave due to illness, you will still receive a makeup for that class.

Makeups for Illness-Related Absences

We want to make things easy for families!

• If you mark your child absent in your online account ahead of time, a makeup is automatically added
• If your child becomes ill suddenly and cannot attend, you can still mark them absent online for a makeup
• If you child has to leave during class due to illness, our team will add a makeup to your account on your behalf.

Makeups never expire as long as your membership is active and can be used for any age-appropriate class with available space.

Hygiene at My Gym

We maintain a clean and healthy gym though:

• Frequent sanitizing of equipment throughout the day
• Deep cleaning mats, swings, bars, and props after every shift
• Hand-sanitizing routines for staff
• Following CDC-informed wellness guidelines

Your Partnership Matters

We understand how stressful sick days can be, and we appreciate your cooperation in keeping our space saft and healthy for all families.
