With the Governor's guidance, Riordan Fitness Center reopened on May 4 with the restrictions listed below. Due to the size of facilities and the governor's directive on reopening fitness centers, the POA is working hard to serve its members in a safe manner. As always, each member is encouraged to consider what is best for them and to stay home if they are not well.
Riordan Hall is being opened first due to its large size and ability to accommodate the most people safely. The plan is to reopen Branchwood Fitness Center on May 11 (no locker rooms, pool, sauna or spa). Due to the governor's new fitness center guidelines, Metfield will not be reopened at this time (due to distancing and size of facility).
