The Brick Bodies Mask Policy has been updated and adapted directly from the “State of Maryland Best Practices for Fitness Centers” document and the “Baltimore County 7-23-20 Interpretive Guidance” document:
- Members should always wear face coverings in the club when not actively engaged in exercise. This includes when you enter or exit the club, when you interact with others, and when you are walking about the club.
- When exercising, members are encouraged to wear face coverings if able to do so safely. A face covering should be worn when engaging in non-vigorous exercise.
- If wearing a face covering safely is not possible due to vigorous exercise, members should increase the distance between themselves and other members as much as possible.
- For simplicity, vigorous exercise includes all group fitness classes and all cardio equipment. It also includes high intensity interval training, and such strenuous activities as heavy Olympic lifting or pushing a weighted sled back and forth on the turf.
- If you remove your mask to exercise, you must put it back on between sets. You must also wear it to walk anywhere in the club, including to get equipment, fill your water bottle, talk to a friend, or use the locker room.
- This policy must be followed for the safety of everyone. If a member of the Brick Bodies team, or even another member, asks you to adhere to the policy, it is not acceptable to react in an angry or disrespectful manner. If you feel you are being asked to do something outside of this policy, please remain respectful and address your concern with management.
