Open Gym & Pool Rules | vashonathleticclub

Phase 2 Reopening

Starting June 24th the VAC will be moving into Phase 2 under the WA Safe Start guidelines.

We will begin offering scheduled “Open Gym” times slots for members to use the gym in groups of 5 and small group exercise classes of 5 or less. The Pool will also be open for Lap Swimming and small group classes of 5 or less.

All members are required to schedule their use of the pool and open gym through our new online portal. Please create an Empower M.E. online portal log in by clicking this link: www.ourclublogin.com/500230

Use your Member ID as your Username and Password to create an account. In most cases your Member ID is the same “V” number on the back of your plastic scan card. For example, if the back of your scan card said (V0235) then V0235 would be your Member ID. If this V number does not work you will need to contact the front desk or send an email and request your correct membership ID be given to you.

Once you are logged in click “Class Schedules” to begin scheduling Open Gym or Pool times.

Cloth face coverings are required while members are using the facility whenever they are unable to maintain at least 6 feet of distance between other members. We recommend having your face mask always around your neck and readily available at all times while using the facility. If you are distanced from others and need to bring the mask down to allow easier breathing or to catch your breath that is fine. See this link, and click (Do people need to wear face coverings while working out in a gym?) https://www.doh.wa.gov/Emergencies/NovelCoronavirusOutbreak2020COVID19/ResourcesandRecommendations/ClothFaceCoveringsandMasks/ClothFaceCoveringsandMasksFAQ

You may also have access to the gym with a personal trainer if you currently have a personal training contract. Personal training appointments may run outside of Open Gym hours based on arrangements you may make with your trainer. Additionally, One-on-One and Semi-Private Personal Training sessions may run simultaneously during Open Gym hours.
