Members must provide 24-hour notice for all cancellations. Sanford POWER members must schedule their training sessions by calling ahead.
There will be no visitors allowed inside the Sanford POWER facility and all equipment will continue to be sanitized before and after each workout by Sanford POWER employees.
Sanford POWER followed state and federal guidelines and consulted Sanford’s own health experts to develop safety practices for these facilities:
- No visitors or walk-ins are allowed.
- Clients should arrive dressed to train with their own water bottle; locker rooms and water fountains are not available.
- Anyone entering the building will be screened.
- Social distancing will be enforced at all times, including during training.
- All equipment will be sanitized before and after each workout.
These practices will be adjusted as needed to align with public health recommendations.
