On January 5th, 2021 Governor Jay Inslee announced the "Healthy Washington - Roadmap to Recovery" plan, which allows fitness centers to resume business under a new set of restrictions. To view full announcement, please click the link below:

In Phase 1 of the Healthy Washington plan, Fitness establishments can open up for appointment based fitness/training for 45-minute max sessions. Occupancy is no more than 1 customer per room OR per 500sq. ft. for large facilities.
What this means for GreenLake Fitness is that we'll be able to open up using our previously set up Zone Reservation System with some slight adjustments. Although the current restrictions expire on January 11th, 2021 there is a lot that needs to be done in regards to the logistics of re-opening that we'll push our re-open date to January 18th, 2021.
MEMBERS: Please check your emails for a complete list of changes GLF is making to re-open. Here are some highlights:
1) We've lowered our capacity in each zone to abide by the new 500 sq. ft. per member restriction.
2) We've increased the number of zone reservations per day to give members a better selection of times to book.
3) We'll continue to use our online schedule system because, per the announcement, all workouts must be appointment based.
4) Workouts will be scheduled for 45 minutes blocks. Please arrive on time and leave on time.
Once we move to Phase 2 we'll be able to move to a simple restriction: maximum occupancy of 25%. This will allow us to extend workout times, so please bear with us under the current restrictions.

Click "Full Calendar" if scheduling more than 2 weeks ahead to find your day.
If you need to create a new profile, please use the email you provided GLF upon sign-up to pair your account with the one we created for you already.
There is no cancellation or no-show fee, but please only make reservations you're sure you will attend, and be sure to cancel ahead of time if your plans change.
Currently members are only allowed to reserve three times a week for a single workout per day. Once WA moves from Phase 1, we will revisit reservation restrictions/times.
