HOUSTON – LA Fitness gyms in Texas will reopen on June 1 at 6 a.m., the company announced.
“We’ve been working on changes aimed at making our clubs the safest place you can work out,” a statement from the company said. “As we continue to receive approvals from government officials and guidance from health authorities, we’ll start to reopen our clubs on a timetable that we believe strikes the proper balance between our desire to help you resume your workout routine and the desire we all have to remain healthy.”

- Requiring members to bring their own towel and mat
- All staff will be trained to participate in cleaning and disinfecting

LA Fitness encourages members to also do the following to keep staff members and other guests safe:
- Stay home if you are sick.
- Stay at least six feet away from other patrons.
- Wear a mask whenever possible.
- If you are at higher risk for severe illness, you should avoid visiting gyms and fitness providers.
- Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.
- If possible, use touchless payment (pay without touching money, a card, or a keypad), and if you must handle money, a card, or use a keypad, use hand sanitizer immediately after.
- After leaving the gym, use hand sanitizer, and when you get home, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
