Everyone with a regular gym habit knows the benefits of being in good shape. Recent data shows it is more important than ever.

The fitness industry exists to provide everyone a place to pursue better health. Whether that means improving cardiovascular conditioning on a treadmill, building strength in the weight room, recovering from injury with a trainer, or any number of other activities and reasons people go to the gym, we recognize our job is making people healthier.

Safety is our priority

The COVID 19 pandemic has underscored the importance of personal health. The leading cause of hospitalizations is underlying health conditions like hypertension and obesity. And there’s a strong link between physical and mental health.

Rethink your opinion about gyms

Some have said gyms are dangerous simply because people breath heavily indoors during workouts. But data from actual fitness centers, in Michigan and around the nation, show resoundingly that a properly run gym is a place that will save your life, not endanger it. 

The Michigan Fitness Club Association is working to share emerging data and information, and develop standards to keep gym and fitness center members and staff safe as they pursue their personal health goal.

Keys to a COVID-ready Fitness center

CLEAN

Facilities are rigorously sanitized by staff and members, making sure every machine, weight and frequently touched surface is clean.

FRESH

Air circulation and filtration is state-of-the art, completely turning over the air in the building several times each hour to keep it clean. The indoor air is the same as the air outdoors.

OPEN

Spacing between machines and stations provides plenty of room for everyone.

SECURE

Guest check-in is recorded to respond quickly in an emergency. Arrivals are temperature checked. Staff are paying attention to members and wearing masks.

Safer in Shape Stats

100 MFCA gyms that reopened around Labor Day shows:

Nearly 1.35 million visits to MFCA gyms. The visit-to-virus ratio = 0.0019 percent – less than zero.


Since last summer:

National data from gyms around the country that were open throughout the summer, where 50 million visits also resulted in less than zero risk.

No place is completely safe during the pandemic. Everyone must make a personal decision about risks. But MFCA gyms are doing everything to make sure they address every possible safety precaution to protect their members and staff, and the results prove it.
