Updates on Safety Protocols regarding the May 19th 100% NYS Re-Opening:
- We will continue our health screening process to include asking members and guests if they have been vaccinated. The more people vaccinated and testing negative the less restrictive the 6' spacing requirement becomes.
- We will still be operating at a 25-50% capacity at all times.
- Members will still need to pre-register for classes
- Although the CDC and NYS have begun to lessen the restrictions on cleaning protocols, this will not be the case here at Slope Fitness.
- Our cleaning/sanitizing procedures will continue from the staff and the members as it has been in place since re-opening the club on Sept 2nd.
- Masks are still required at all times.
While some of you have started receiving the COVID vaccine, all the protocols still remain in place here at Slope Fitness. Everyone’s safety has and will remain our top priority.
With that said, even if a member receives the vaccine, they are still required to adhere to all the protocols in place which includes wearing a mask at all times. These are the guidelines as set forth by the CDC and NYS Department of Health.
If anyone has questions or concerns, please speak to a manager at the front desk or email me directly.
Respectfully yours,

Dear members of Slope Fitness,
Slope Fitness will open for indoor activities on September 2nd. We will be adhering to the protocols for everyone's health and safety. Please click here for the detailed NYS protocols and click here for the summary version.
With localities carrying out the Dept of Health inspections, the mayor has stated that indoor classes will not be permitted at this time. Personal training and general gym usage is allowed. Classes will still be held outdoors on the roof and/or Zoom. Our reservation system will remain the same for that. Click here to register.
We will be requiring members to adhere to all the guidelines we have in place here at the club:
The safety of our members and the staff has always been my number one concern. If I did not feel confident that Slope Fitness could meet and exceed the safety protocols for re-opening indoors then I wouldn't.
I thank you for your patience and your dedication through it all.
See you soon.
