We are so excited to reopen!

We’ve missed you too! Just like you, we’re ready to dust off the fitness cobwebs and get back to doing what we love: some brisk cardio, hitting the weights, taking a little “me time” on the hydromassage chair, working with our favorite personal trainers and class instructors… the list goes on, because there is something for everyone at Fitness 19.

After all, we’re a gym built for you, no matter what your fitness levels or goals are.

Most importantly we’ve missed seeing you… we’ve missed seeing our community in person!

Our goal is for you to enjoy your workout with confidence knowing all safety measures are being taken! Please remember all changes are temporary and subject to change. We’ll get through this together!

Fitness 19’s Cleaning Standards

Clean Clean Clean

Fitness 19 is assigning designated cleaning staff during each shift to ensure that all touch points are being sanitized with top-quality disinfectant sprays and wipes. Classroom and classroom equipment will be sanitized after every class. Treatment amenities like Hydromassage will be sanitized after every use. You name it, we’re cleaning it.

Let’s Take It A Step Further

To give everyone even more peace of mind, we are going above and beyond your standard cleaning services. To ensure safety of staff and members, we’re taking things a step further with the latest antiseptic technologies.

• Nanoseptic stickers will be placed on high traffic touch points. NanoSeptic stickers turn high traffic touch points into continuously self-cleaning surfaces by continuously oxidizing organic contaminants at the microscopic level.
• For an extra layer of protection, UV Sterilization wands, capable of killing germs and bacteria, will be used on facility touch points.
• Staff will regularly spray equipment and facility with Electrostatic Sprayers that meet the EPA’s criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19.
• To give everyone even more peace of mind, we are going above and beyond your standard cleaning services. All clubs will be certified by StoneWright Biotech Services for cleanliness prior to reopening and monitored for 90 days. This service will control and prevent the most comprehensive issues relating to infectious diseases, bacteria and fungi. Stonewright BioTech Services is an infectious disease control company, who use a proprietary EPA registered cleaning solutions to kill up to 99.99% of infectious diseases, fungi (mold and mildew) and bacteria, killing all pathogens at the source. With a water based biostatic surface protectant which adheres to porous and non-porous surfaces, this technology allows long lasting protection which continues working for 30 days on high contact areas and even longer on other areas depending on surface traffic. Stonewright will also regularly use a medical grade testing device in our gyms to check for germ counts. Nothing but the best for our members!
