How We Are Keeping You Safe

Beyond Fifty has always been serious about its sanitary environment and is working even harder to keep you safe during these unprecedented times to allow you still to get all the health benefits from exercise with us. Our safety approach is three-fold: (1) Enhancements to physical facilities for airborne protections, extra attention to surface sanitation, and the manner in which exercise is conducted; (2) Protocols for members; and (3) Protocols for staff.

In short, we provide a sanitary exercise environment designed with extra Covid-19 protections. You can participate with as much additional personal protection as you want, including wearing the mask of your choice should you choose, and you have the assurance that comes from your own ability to additionally sanitize with the disinfectant we provide. Our members are fully vaccinated and may exercise without a mask.  With these combined measures, and knowing our members are among the most health and safety conscious of adults, we hope you will feel comfortable to join or re-join Beyond Fifty!
