Dear march wellness members,

We hope that you and your families are healthy, safe and finding ways to stay active during this unprecedented time. We are pleased to see so many of you using our member newsletters, Instagram and YouTube channel as options for staying active with our certified staff. Good health and fitness are more important than ever and we are trying to do our part to assist you in maintaining your exercise and wellness goals from wherever you are.

You may be aware of news reports about federal and state authorities planning for the reopening of America. At march wellness, we are looking forward to reopening our facility as soon as it is safe to do so. We have a dedicated team at OHSU and march wellness who have been working together to develop plans for reopening our facility. Plans aimed to create a safe and welcoming environment for you to enjoy working out again.

As we prepare for this moment, we are re-imagining the march wellness experience from checking in to the facility as well as physical distancing throughout the club with space between equipment, the spacing involved in our pools and more designated sanitizing stations. It may look a little different than it has before but we are leaning on our medical experts at OHSU and the certified and degreed staff at march wellness to continue to provide results and positive outcomes for whatever your wellness goals may be.

We will share more details with you in the near future and look forward to seeing you back at march wellness. Please rest assured we will carefully reopen our facility in accordance with public health guidelines and in a manner that safeguards the health and well-being of our members and team. This will most likely be done through an approach of opening the facility in specific stages. We will also have more on this information to come.

We also would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm that all member billings have been suspended. Billings will not be reinstated until such time as the facility is able to reopen to members.

Many of you have been with march wellness for a long time and we remain grateful to you for your loyalty and patience.

Should you like to contact us, please email us at fitness@ohsu.edu.

As always, until we meet again, stay home, healthy and active!
