Group Classes, Sessions, and Activities: Beginning January 4, 2021, in-person group classes,
sessions, and other activities (“classes”) are permitted only if the following requirements are met:
Each class must be held in a designated, separate, self-contained space that physically
separates the group activities from all other activities at the facility.
Classes cannot exceed 10 persons, which include all participants, instructors, and persons in the
class area. Businesses must use the following calculation to determine maximum number of
persons allowed in the area where the class is being held.
A reservation system must be established for each class.
Access into the class area must be restricted to members of the class with a reservation, or an
instructor. Other persons, including other workers, members, observers, or spectators are not
permitted into the class area while the class is in progress.
o Workers are permitted in the class area to film or facilitate remote or virtual classes,
sessions, and activities, but must be included when determining the maximum number of
persons permitted in within the class area while the class is in progress.
GYMS, STUDIOS, AND F ITNESS CENTERS
During classes, all persons within the class must maintain distancing of at least 12 feet from
others. Individual areas for each person must be identified and demarcated in the class area to
ensure social distance of at least 12 feet is maintained. Examples include taping the floor with
12 foot squares, providing stanchions or partitions, or pre-positioning mats. Physical contact
between persons is not permitted.
When classes are not occurring (e.g., before class, when setting up, or when exiting), social
distance of 6 feet must be maintained between individuals at all times. Even persons from the
same household must comply with these social distancing requirements.
Face coverings must be worn by all persons in the class at all times.
Consumption of food or beverage is not permitted in the class area. Persons may remove their
face coverings briefly to consume water, but members of the class must not be engaged in any
activities involving physical exercise or exertion while doing so and must ensure they are socially
distanced from others.
Virtual group classes, sessions, and other activities are strongly encouraged over in-person
group classes, sessions, and other activities.
