Moving Forward!!

We are excited that you are here. The safety of our patrons and staff will be our top priority! We welcome you all back to the LBC but cannot ensure 100% protection from the virus. You are visiting this facility at your own risk. We have protective measures in place with guidance from CDC, IDPH and Linn County Public Health that we hope will protect staff and patrons alike. Linn County Public Health has reviewed our plan to re-open and thinks we have done the best we can with the measures we have in place. We do know that some of you may have some concerns about returning and if you do not feel comfortable, we fully understand. 

What to expect from us: 

• We will not allow more 250 than patrons in the building at one time. 
• Various areas of the building will have limited occupancy to allow for social distancing.  
• Please be aware that the space you are intending to use may not be available. 
• We have done our best to space our equipment out as much as possible, with every other piece of cardio equipment turned off to meet 6ft social distancing. Our staff will be continuously sanitizing and disinfecting the facility throughout the day. We have added hand sanitizing stations throughout our facility for your use. 
• Our staff will be wearing masks during their shifts as a precautionary measure. 
• We will offer a Senior only (62 yrs and older) hour M-F between 10-11am. That hour is reserved for this age group only.
