Wipe Down Equipment in the Wellness Center and Group Exercise Rooms for everyone's sake. As cold and flu season flourishes, it is vital for all members to utilize the paper towels and disinfectant bottles to clean off mats and exercise machines after use to slow the spread of many communicable diseases in our area. Please do not spray the machines directly as moisture damages fragile electronics and can lead to rust. Rather, moisten the towel and wipe the areas of hand contact and areas where perspiration is left on seats and back rests. Your cooperation is appreciated.
