YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY
IS OUR #1 PRIORITY AS WE RE-OPEN.
We are thrilled to announce that we will be safely opening our clubs over the next couple of weeks. The decision to open will be based on a multitude of factors and will come with some updated operational procedures and member guidelines. We are asking that all members review and accept the following Member Agreement to keep Physiq a safe environment. In order to return to the club, you will need to accept the following agreement before you resume working out. If you do not feel comfortable returning at this time, that is completely your right. We do ask that if you are able to resume billing to support our operations and our staff, that you consider resuming your membership at this time.
