Phase 2 Update
Hi JAC Family,
We are so happy to be a part of your life and your health and wellness is extremely important to us. While distancing may be a part of our new normal, wellness and connection remain more important than ever – and having a safe place to boost our immune systems as well as our mental and physical health through exercise is vital to our wellbeing.
It has always been our goal to provide a clean and well organized environment for all to come and enjoy. Since we have been closed we have been improving on these standards so that we can be better and safer than ever!

Safety Improvements for each Exercise Area
We are fortunate to have the largest club in town so we can spread out for optimal social distancing. Following are our safety improvements and member guidelines and expectations for each area.
Cardio Fitness Floor
- Equipment is either spaced out for distancing or will be used on an every other machine basis so we can have safe distancing.
- We are cleaning all equipment with EPA registered Virex Hospital Grade Disinfectant and we are deep cleaning daily. We ask for your participation by wiping down the equipment before and after each use.
- You will find a large number of disinfectant bottles and paper towels available for your use throughout the club.
Group Fitness
- Our summer schedule started Monday June 8th.
- Advance check in will be available 24 hours before group fitness classes to ensure safe class size and safe distancing. During phase two of the Rock County reopening plan, class size for group fitness will be capped at 25. Cycling will have 12 bikes but many classes will be changed to two 30 minute classes to accommodate more members. Please sign up for only one class per day so all can participate.
- We ask that all class participants clean their equipment with soap and water(provided in spray bottles) and then disinfect with our Virex Hospital Grade Disinfectant(also in spray bottles) before class. At the end of class we ask that you disinfect the items you used with the Virex Hospital Grade Disinfectant.
- 50 minute classes will be shortened to 45 minutes to allow extra cleaning time.
- We ask that you situate yourself so that you will have a 9 foot x 9 foot radius around you at all times. Even if you feel comfortable with closer contact please be respectful that someone else may not be comfortable with that.
Aquatics
- Advance check in will be available 24 hours before group fitness classes to ensure safe class size and safe distancing.
- The pools will be open and we will use the same social distancing guidelines as the other spaces in the club.
- Water classes will be capped at 15 participants per class during phase one.
