Franciscan Health Fitness Centers Chicago Heights Reopens

Safety is the primary focus as Franciscan Health Fitness Centers Chicago Heights reopens its doors.

Things look very different in the Club. Upon entering the facilities, Staff and Members have temperatures taken. Those with temperatures of 100.0 or higher are not allowed access to the gym. As always, cleaning and sanitizing is a major focus and the detailed re-open plans include members having a part to play in keeping the Fitness Center environment safe. Members will see social distancing stickers throughout the club, spaced out equipment, and fill stations have replaced water fountains and bottled water is also for sale.

“As medically based Fitness Centers, we have the benefit of our Franciscan Alliance healthcare experts, which includes a team of infectious disease doctors, who have guided, vetted and support our re-opening regimen. In addition, we adhere closely to the guidelines set forth by the CDC and the States of Indiana and Illinois,” states a welcome back letter sent to all Members in the last several weeks.

In the Chicago Heights Club, currently in its Phase One, staff are required to wear masks at all times and Members are required to wear face masks while in the facility, except when working out. Group Exercise classes are open with proper social distancing. Pools, Locker Rooms, KIDZONE and Café are not available for use during this Phase. Personal Training is also active, with social distancing measures in place.

The Chicago Heights location plans to move to its next phase on July 5, 2020, in which the pools, locker rooms and Café will reopen, while maintaining social distancing safety measures.

Those interested in a membership or taking a tour should call for an appointment at 708-755-3020. Franciscan Health Fitness Centers Chicago Heights is located at 100 W. 197th Place, Chicago Heights, IL.
