“The hardest part about working at the gym right now isn’t the cleaning and checking everyone in,” reflects Callis. “We decided to continue the online classes for the people who are still scared to leave the house and be exposed to the virus, and also for our older members who are at a greater risk to the virus,” says Lindley.Īlthough things are starting to return to normal, a lot is different in the world and at the gym. In order to limit the size of crowds and maintain social distance, Callis also says that Endorphin is limiting on-site classes to nine participants and one instructor for each class, and another 15 people who aren’t in the classes can also be in the gym.Įven though they’ve reopened, Endorphin is continuing to offer online classes.

And the hardest part was probably getting all the equipment back and where it belonged in the gym.”įor the gym to reopen, members returned the equipment they borrowed, and gym employees made sure to give it a good cleaning before putting it back in the gym.Įndorphin has a new protocol to ensure members are safe and clean while exercising at the reopened gym. “We also did a lot of painting so getting that done in time was also hard. “It was very stressful at first figuring out the number of people we were allowed inside and what we had to do in order to be able to open,” Lindley explains. Before COVID-19, Endorphin members worked out more closely at an early morning class. On April 26th, 2020, Eagle County got their Stay at Home orders lifted, and Endorphin was able to start opening up business the following week. “It also helped me with my mental health being able to talk with some friends after the workout on the call.” “The online classes are a great way to stay fit and healthy over quarantine,” says Jen Cumberland, an Endorphin member and family friend. Most people were happy they could still take classes at their house and stay fit. The online classes have been doing really well with about 30-60 people participating in each Zoom Call. “We decided to include online courses to keep people interested in the gym and to hopefully have them donate or keep their membership so we could stay open,” says Lindley. It was really helpful, and I used it to stay fit for the upcoming cross country season,” said Cade Mather ‘22, a member at Endorphin. “I’m very thankful they handed out equipment. They also gave out spin bikes for people to use. When Endorphin was ordered to close doors for the Stay at Home order, they let members borrow equipment to take home to stay fit over quarantine.
