Face coverings will now be required at ALL TIMES, including while you are exercising.  I know this will be a disappointment for some members, but our two Oregon clubs have been doing this for sometime now, and it at least allows us to open!  Please be respectful and make sure to keep your face covering on at ALL TIMES while in the building.

As new guidance is provided, we will be working to re-open other areas of the club.  Current areas/programs that are currently closed include: Kid’s Klub, Open Climb, Steam Room, Sauna, and Family Swim.

IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING RESERVATIONS:  For members that CALL IN or request IN PERSON for a reservation, staff will now only be able to make the reservation for you up to 4 hours in advance.  To maximize your opportunity to get into the activity you are wanting, please make the reservation online via our website.

12/16/2020 Update

 

Cascade Athletic Club Fisher’s Landing Members –

While we were hopeful that we’d be allowed to reopen the rest of the club earlier this week, that unfortunately isn’t the case.  The pools are still open and will remain open, but we eagerly await the ability to open the rest of the club!  Governor Inslee has given us a new date of January 11th to open the rest of the club.  We certainly hope this to be the case.

As we wait to see if January 11th is indeed the date to reopen, we are working fervently behind the scenes on a multi-pronged approach to get Fitness safely reopened.

One of the avenues that we are pursuing is to make sure that decision makers in Washington have the most up-to-date and accurate data regarding Fitness and COVID from both a national and state level, as well as information showing how essential fitness is to our communities.

Studies by the University of Florida and University of Oregon have been released that show no correlation between fitness centers being open and the spread of COVID.  Additionally, several states including Colorado, Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Washington have compiled very extensive contact tracing data that shows little to no COVID cases coming from Fitness.  We find all of this information to be very encouraging and we will continue to work with the Washington Fitness Alliance to ease restrictions in Washington.  We look forward to being able to serve you soon!

11/16/20 Update

 

WE ARE ABLE TO KEEP OUR POOLS OPEN!  In 2020, it is all about finding the good in the midst of the bad, right?!

Starting Tuesday, November 17th Cascade Athletic Club at Fisher’s Landing will need to temporarily close access to all amenities EXCEPT our pools and hot tub until December 14th per Governor Inslee’s latest guidance.

We understand this is disappointing for many of you, but we are thankful that we do not need to completely close down.  Over the next 4 weeks please consider changing up your workout routine and join us in the pool!  Consider trying a water aerobics class, resistance training in the Warm Pool, or lap swimming at the indoor/outdoor pool.  The hot tub and showers will be open too!

Additionally we will continue to provide TRIBE team training and PERSONAL training REMOTELY.  Please get in touch with your trainer and/or call the club and we can get you connected with a trainer so that you can stay fit during this temporary closure.  We will also be working on providing some GROUP X classes via our Facebook Page, so be sure to follow us on Facebook!
