Please read this message in its entirety as it discusses information regarding your account and our efforts to open Physiq Keizer. 

 QFam,

I am so excited to announce that we have been given the approval to open as of today, 1/29/21. We are all excited to see you back in the clubs to help you maintain your physical and mental health.  Albany, Keizer, and South Salem are all open inside as of today and Physiq Downtown will open Monday 2/1/21. As we welcome you back we ask that workouts are kept to an hour in length, your masks are properly worn, each person maintains six-foot physical distance, that you sanitize hands upon entry, and that you clean equipment before and after use (please spray towel then clean and don't spray equipment directly, especially the cardio screens).  For at least the next couple of weeks, we will keep our outdoor tents available to those who would like to continue using them. We also have a capacity meter on each location's website so you can ensure that there is space available before you come. Below you will find our temporary hours. We will look to increase those as the need and demand for more occur. Additionally, you will continue to have access to our virtual group fitness on demand and MyZone remote classes for free until we are able to resume them in person.

A Note from Our Owner

Dear Downtown Salem Physiq Family,

We are so grateful for the outpouring of support we have received over the last few weeks as the announcement came that we must once again close our doors. While this shutdown has been extremely difficult we do have some exciting news as we await the governor's approval to reopen for indoor workouts.

1) We are proud to announce that during the shut down we made absolutely no layoffs. We felt that despite our financial hardship that it was the right thing to do for our employees.

2) We were given the approval to open an outdoor facility in our South Salem parking lot. Our South Salem outdoor facility is 3,300 square feet and hosts a covered free weight area, cardio equipment, and pin loaded circuit. As of 12/29/20, we will be allowing all Physiq Downtown members access to this facility. While we understand this is not a perfect solution, we have gone to extreme lengths to provide you with the best possible experience. For access, you will checkin as normal but at the tent located in the parking lot. We are asking that you park in front of the Physiq building as the side parking lot is reserved for the DMV and bottle drop. Additionally, our indoor facilities at both Physiq South and Physiq downtown will remain open for you to use as a wellness center for tanning, water massage beds, recovery room and take out smoothies. The space in the tent is limited to 50 people at a time, based on a first come first serve basis but as of now, we haven't come close to that. To see current capacity levels we have implemented a capacity meter on our website. We ask that workouts are limited to 60 min to maximize the flow of members utilizing the space. Additionally, we ask that everyone wear a face mask while utilizing our outdoor facility.

As a result of being shut down on 11/18, we made the decision to turn off all membership billing, resulting in a 95% loss of income. As you can imagine, this has been immensely detrimental to our business.  We have taken the necessary steps to pivot, persist and persevere through this shutdown by taking on new loans, refinancing debt, working with vendors to delay payments, offer virtual content to our members and other necessary steps. Even with these steps, costs continue to amount as rent and utilities do not stop, loan payments must still be paid and additional expenses have amounted to the tens of thousands of dollars simply to get an outdoor facility running.

As such, we ask for your support to allow this locally owned and operated small business to survive. Because Downtown members will now have access to the outdoor facility and indoor wellness options, we will be turning on all billing Friday 1/1/21 for membership dues. As mentioned above, all payments due between 11/18 and 12/31 were turned off and will be waived.  If your annual maintenance fee was due between 11/18 and 12/31 it will now be due on 1/1/21. All members, including those who choose to not utilize our outdoor facility, will still have access to our Virtual On Demand content, MyZone Remote live trainer workouts, live Group Fitness workouts, and our private member-only Facebook page at no additional cost.

In an effort to continue to offer our communities a value-priced health club, not just now but far into the future, we ask those who are able to continue their membership fee and support us in other ways by purchasing smoothies, apparel from our online store, self-care sessions and recommending us to your friends and family. If this is not an option we will also be offering the ability to freeze your membership at just $1 per week for up to 90 days. If you choose to do this, just email [email protected]

For the next few weeks our hours for the tent and South Salem indoor wellness center will be as follows: 

Monday - Friday: 5AM - 8PM
Saturday: 8AM - 4PM
Sunday: 9AM - 2PM

* New Years Eve - 5am - 11am 

* New Years Day - 10am - 8pm 

Physiq Downtown will be open for wellness options (Starting 1/4)  

Monday - Thursday 10am - 7pm (closed 2p-3p) 

Friday - Sunday: Closed 

* New Years Eve - Closed 

* New Years Day - Closed 

* Wellness hours are subject to change based on demand

Again, we are so excited to offer you our outdoor fitness facility and our indoor wellness centers. Rest assured, we will continue our efforts and try to get Physiq Downtown either fully open or open with an onsite outdoor facility. 

Thank you for your support, 

Landon Burningham

Founder, and Owner.

A Note from Our Owner

Effective 11/18/2020: Modified Operations

A Note from Our Owner

To our valued Physiq members,

As a business owner, this may as well have been the hardest decision I have ever had to make. I know with every part of me that fitness is essential not only for our physical health but our mental and social well being as well. At Physiq, our mission is simple, “to change lives of those in our communities by providing an affordable fitness experience.” I must think about that mission and the long-term effects that any decision I make places on our community, members, staff, and business as a whole.

I wholeheartedly disagree with fitness centers being closed, especially since OHA and county health departments have confirmed that ZERO outbreaks have been traced back to fitness centers and that there has been ZERO transmission of COVID traced to Physiq. Despite this, I feel the best long-term outcome is to COMPLY with Governor Brown’s mandate. This does not mean we are giving up! Please, please continue to read as I outline the changes we are making in order to comply with mandates and still provide some of your favorite, essential, services.

Our back office will be closed during this time but we will continue to pay 100% of our staff as we REFUSE TO FURLOUGH A SINGLE EMPLOYEE. This is not the time of year that anyone should go without work. In that same spirit we will be shutting off all member billing, but please allow a few days for this to take effect. While the gym will be temporarily closed to the general public for workouts, WE WILL keep employees working with tanning, smoothies and furthering our efforts of deep cleaning our facilities to maintain our “surgically clean” standard. We will also have our staff do street clean-ups, volunteer with local charities, and find ways that we can keep them working while giving back to our community that has given us so much.

During our temporary closure, we ask for your continued support. As mentioned above, our smoothie bars will still be open for take out orders, our tanning and hydro massage are still open for personal self-care for any and all of our members. These services will be available to our members just as you would frequent your local restaurant or salon. Tanning and hydromassage will be made available to every membership type during this temporary closure and we will be offering our new Physiq ON DEMAND for free to all Physiq members.

We are optimistic we can find a solution that allows us to reopen our doors SOONER THAN TWO WEEKS. We are working our very hardest to be able to open our doors as a wellness center. This would look different than the typical Physiq experience you know and love but would give members access to our state of the art equipment and wellness services, including trainers, while maintaining as much of the fantastic culture and energy you know and love. We ask for your patience as we complete our due diligence. If this becomes a reality, it will be an immense undertaking and complete overhaul of operations, one that was simply too much to research and implement prior to closure tomorrow. PLEASE REMEMBER- if we can find a legal way to help members in their journey of good health we will do it. And we will do it as soon as possible. Stay tuned as we tirelessly strive to see if we can think outside of the box and offer health and wellness successfully and legally. Please note that once any restrictions on fitness centers are lifted business would return to normal.

As mentioned above we have made the difficult financial decision but an easy personal decision that we will suspend all membership billing. While this will make it hard on our business, we feel that it is the right thing to do for our community. If you have already paid your membership dues for November, you will have access to tanning and hydro at no further charge. If you have not, you will be able to access those for $2 per visit or $20 unlimited. All dues and annual fees due between now and our reopening will be pushed to our reopening date. There will be no need to cancel or freeze as billing will be suspended automatically for all members until we reopen.

We understand that many will support this decision and many will find it hard to comprehend. We find ourselves at an impasse. However, if we stick together we will get through this. We will not give up as we fight to find any legal means of opening and will also continue to fight strategically to prove to our local government that fitness, not just wellness, is essential. We are working hard to collect letters from medical professionals showing that fitness should be classified as essential, asking members to email our local government and share their thoughts on the necessity of gyms.

As you know being shut down means virtually no income while still having all of our expenses such as rent, insurance, utilities, loan payments, payroll, etc. So we are thankful to all of you who have asked us to continue billing your accounts, you will continue to have access to the services above for the duration of our closure. For anyone else, if you would like to continue having your account billed or support us further, please fill out this form and we can charge your account on file.

Thank you, QFAM.

Landon Burningham, President
Physiq Fitness

If you are able and willing to contribute your membership dues or any donation possible to help us support our staff and continue offering our modified services to you, please submit the following form to let us know!

 We know the ever-changing restrictions and changes surrounding COVID have posed some small, and oftentimes, significant challenges. But so far, we’ve been able to hurdle these challenges together and keep moving forward. We truly appreciate the support and positivity from the overwhelming majority of our Physiq community. We couldn’t do it without you.

With that said, we have made the decision to keep gym usage on a first-come, first-serve basis for now. After doing a poll on our Facebook page, it was pretty close to split down the middle on preferences regarding a reservation system. We understand the desire and need for a reservation system, but in the spirit of honesty and transparency, the amount of notice given by the state was just not enough time to get that system set up and on our website, plus get our staff trained and communicate all the necessary “how-to” information to members. It’s a challenging shift for us operationally, and we want to do our best to keep chaos and confusion to a minimum. However, we also understand this is not a perfect, fail-proof solution and we may have to make some changes. If we see there are long lines consistently forming, and frustrations rising, we will move to a reservation system as quickly as possible. This is an ever-changing situation and we know we may have to pivot several times. We appreciate your patience and positive attitudes as we navigate yet another challenge. Know that we are flexible with this plan and committed to keeping our member’s experience as positive as possible. We’re humbly asking our Physiq community to be flexible and positive, too. Below are a few important details regarding capacity restrictions, personal training clients, and classes.

• Gym usage will be first come, first serve.
• There will be a capacity meter for each club location where members can check-in real-time what our capacity percentage is prior to coming into the club. Please select your location to see the current occupancy at any time.
• We have extended our hours at all locations.
  • For South Salem, Albany and Keizer - we will now close at 10 pm on weekdays and 4 pm on Sundays.
  • Downtown is now open Saturdays 6 am to 2 pm. These changes are effective Wednesday, 11/11
• Below are the slowest check-in times for each location when capacity is at our lowest:
  SOUTH: 4-7am, 11am-12pm, 7-10pm
  KEIZER: 4-8am, 11am-12pm, 8-10pm
  ALBANY: 4-7am, 11am-12pm, 7-10pm
• TRAINING CLIENTS: Your training appointment secures your spot during your 30-minute session only. If you would like to use the gym before or after your session, you will need to go through the general first come, first serve check-in process. Please touch base with your trainer prior to your next session for check-in procedures.
• FOR SOUTH SALEM MEMBERS ONLY: QFit classes will run as normal. Participants who have enrolled in the class, have a secured spot during your class only. You will receive an email notification 1 hour prior to class start time with directions on check-in and entry point. If you want to use the gym before or after your class, you will need to go through the general first come, first serve check-in process.
  • OnQ classes will run as normal. Participants who have enrolled in the class, have a secured spot during their class only. You will receive an email notification 1 hour prior to class start time with directions on check-in and entry point. If you want to use the gym before or after your class, you will need to go through the general first come, first serve check-in process.
• FOR KEIZER MEMBERS ONLY: QFit and OnQ class participants - Unfortunately due to there not being a separate entrance/exit for these spaces, members will have to check-in on a first-come, first-serve basis. We encourage participants to come a bit early so if you have to wait in line, you’ll still be able to make it to class.
• FOR ALBANY & DOWNTOWN MEMBERS ONLY: QFit and OnQ class participants - No changes. Classes run as normal.

Why Gyms are Safe:

Face-Coverings Mandatory at all times and Capacity Limitations

Attention members: Please read the most recent update regarding COVID Updates and Physiq operations

Physiq family and community. Per the new Oregon mandates, effective 7/24 face coverings will be required for entry into any and all Physiq locations and must be worn at all times while in the facility. Additionally, per the mandate, we must limit the capacity to 100 people max in the facility at a time.

While we understand these mandates will make some happy and others unhappy, please know as a small locally owned and operated business, we are doing our absolute best to ensure the safety of or members and staff while in our facility. To do this we must follow all the required mandates to ensure that we are not fined and are allowed to stay open so that our members have a safe place to exercise and our staff maintains the ability to work. In 8 days we celebrate our 10 year anniversary since we opened our first location. Back in 2010, we opened with one goal, to provide our community with an affordable way to change their lives through fitness. Since then we have faced many obstacles, none as trying as these times. Our goal and mission continue to provide our communities with an affordable option to become physically, mentally, and socially healthier. We truly believe that exercise improves immune function and reduces the risk and severity of not only respiratory viral infections but many other health issues including physical and mental health conditions. As such, we follow these mandates so that we can continue to stay open and provide our communities with an affordable gym option. However, we can not do this alone. We must ask for your support as well in following these mandates and ask that each member be respectful to one another and to our staff. We understand that some are not willing to come in due to the mandate and as always we will continue to offer to freeze memberships at no cost for up to 90 days. However, if you can and you are able, we do ask that you continue to support Physiq during these trying times.

Below is some information on what we are doing to keep members safe.

• Upon entering Physiq we personally ask each and every individual if they have any cold or flu-like symptoms. Members are then told to maintain a 6ft distance from anyone not in their immediate household and encouraged to not workout with anyone. Every member is handed a personal spray bottle with hospital grade disinfectant (each bottle is also sanitized prior to the use of the next person, yes we disinfect our disinfectant). Members are asked to sanitize each piece of equipment before and after use for extra safety. We do ask that members spray the paper towel first and not the machine directly to preserve the longevity of the equipment. To ensure extra safety, we have purchased 80% hand sanitizer and tripled the amount available throughout each facility while adding body-safe sanitizer wipes that can be used on equipment and hands.
• To encourage physical distancing we made one-way doors and walkways, moved, and bolted equipment to ensure it always maintains a 6ft distance. In places where that is not possible (like cardio), we placed all pieces closer than 6ft out of order. Along with this, we have taken the Oregon Health Authority recommendation of 36 ft.² per individual allowed in the building and made it more than 100 ft.² per individual to make class-size is 1/3 the size to ensure proper distancing. While this may seem like a lot, we have also increased the number of staff each shift so we can increase the amount of sanitation and wipe off all the high touch areas that some people forget (weight collars, weight pins, handles, and etc..).
• We also do full deep sanitation of the facility 2 times a day, one when we close and another at noon. During this time each high touch area, dumbbells and etc... are all cleaned and sanitized. The bathrooms are sanitized and we even go around with atomizer sprayer and a chlorine-based hospital grade disinfectant and spray off the turf, carpet, etc... The best part, immediately after our deep sanitizing time, is our one hour exclusive opening to high risk, medical exempt, and 60+ population which is the safest time as it is right after cleaning and is now limited to 30 people at a time. During the high-risk hours, we also require all members to stay no less than 15 ft apart.
• To encourage proper airflow we also make sure we have our huge fans always on to increase circulation of the air and have our HVAC fans running to make sure that the gym has proper airflow and ventilation. To top it off, we just received our electrostatic sprayers https://evaclean.com/products/protexus-cordless-electrostatic-sprayers which will allow for an additional high level of cleaning and sanitation.

We appreciate your continued support during these times. Please let us know if there is anything we can do better to ensure our business is a safe place for you and your family.

Landon Burningham, Founder, and Co-owner.

• Keep a minimum of 6 feet distance between staff and members
• Have a great workout

What are your social distancing guidelines while in the club?

We are asking all members to maintain a 6-foot distance between themselves and others in the club. Physiq has implemented procedures to help ensure these distancing guidelines are respected including visual reminders, area closures and staff to monitor and enforce these rules.

What else is Physiq doing to keep the gyms clean?

Physiq is requesting that all members disinfect equipment after use and is providing extra sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer. We will have Physiq staff cleaning all open areas of the gym throughout every day and doing a deep clean every night after closing.

Can I use a guest pass to visit the gym?

Guest passes are not allowed at this time.

Can I put a temporary freeze on my account?

We realize that the COVID-19 pandemic has created unforeseen circumstances for many people, so we want to make sure that you know you can re-freeze your account for up to three months by emailing [email protected]. This is a great option if you need a little extra time to make it back to the gym.

Can I cancel my account and reinstate later?

We do recommend freezing your membership, as it will allow you to maintain your current low membership rate. All cancellations will still follow the standard cancellation policy of 30-day notice.
