To the Urban Adventures Family,
 
We’d like to provide you with some detailed insight on some of our best practices that have made us a safe, clean, and healthy space over the years here at VIDA Fitness, Aura spa, Bang Salon, SweatBox, and the Penthouse Pool & Lounge.  Below is a list of some of our top initiatives to combat cold and flu season each year:
 
Equipment Cleaning:  We wipe down and sanitize all cardio, strength, and group fitness equipment multiple times per day.  Our members are also a critical component of our historical success, so please continue to wipe down your equipment with the gym wipes after every use.
 
Locker Rooms & Zen Spa:  We conduct a thorough locker room “sweep” every hour during off-peak times and at least twice per hour during peak times.  We also allocate a full-time locker room attendant during our busiest times.  Our mission is to keep the locker room and Zen Spa areas clean, sanitized, and clear of debris.  Our biggest ask of our members is that you place your towels completely inside of the towel bins and dispose of all trash in the trash or recycling bins.  Please do not leave your towels on the floor or on locker room benches, and please make sure all your belongings are inside a locker as opposed to leaving shoes, coats, etc. on or underneath the benches. 
 
Finally, we’d be remiss if we didn’t remind you to stay off your cell phones while in the locker rooms.  Our locker rooms are a place of relaxation, so please take your phone calls, texts, emails, and web browsing to the approved areas of the club.
 
Aura spa & Bang Salon:  Our spa technicians and hair stylists wash & sanitize their hands before and after each service.  We wipe down and sanitize all surfaces multiple times per day.  We also fully launder all spa linens after every service.  Hand sanitizer is available at our reception desks for both employee and client use. 
 
Personal Training & Group Fitness:  Our Personal Trainers and Group Fitness Instructors wash and sanitize their hands before and after each client/class.  We are taking extra precautions to reduce, and in some cases eliminate, all non-essential physical contact for the time being.  We’re committed to delivering an enjoyable and safe member experience, but we’re going to shy away from things like partner work and high-fives in our classes.
 
Additional Hand Sanitizer Stations:  We are placing additional hand sanitizer stations around the club to increase the visual queues that remind all of us to clean our hands at every opportunity.  Please also avoid touching your eyes, ears, nose, and mouth directly with your hands.
 
Fingerprint Scanners at the Check-in Desk:  We regularly wipe down and sanitize the fingerprint scanners used for check-in…after every check-in when possible.  Help us out by using the available hand sanitizer before and after you check-in.
 
Encouraging a Healthy Lifestyle:  No surprise here…research shows that moderate exercise, proper nutrition, and the correct amount of sleep boost the body’s defenses against viruses and bacteria.  Our board certified, registered dietitians are recommending you incorporate foods with Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Fiber, Zinc, Iron, and Selenium into your diet.  Avoid high fat diets and excess alcohol.  Try to get at least 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night, and up that to 8 hours if possible.
 
Helpful Information about the Coronavirus from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):  Stay home if you are sick to help prevent the spread of germs and illnesses to others at your workplace or in public places.  Make an appointment to see your doctor or go to urgent care if you experience any symptoms.
 
Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze, preferably with a tissue.  Dispose of the tissue in a trash can, then wash and sanitize your hands.
 
We are monitoring the Coronavirus updates daily on the
CDC website.  There are currently no reported cases in DC, Virginia, or Maryland.
 
Thank you again for your many efforts over the years to assist our dedicated team of fitness professionals in keeping our clubs safe, clean, and healthy.  Our General Managers are available to answer any of your questions as they arise.

Sincerely,
Bang Salon
