Dear Ravenswood & Lincoln Park Members,
As you are aware, we froze all active memberships at the end of March (3/23/2020) due to the pandemic. Throughout the stay at home order, we did our best to meet your fitness needs through virtual and outdoor class options. Thankfully, we were able to reopen our doors in June with capacity limits in place. Since reopening, we have implemented new cleaning and social distancing procedures to keep everyone safe. Check our new cleaning and social distancing procedures HERE!
Up until this point, memberships have been reinstated on a strictly voluntary basis; however, we must inform you that as of 8/21/2020, ALL frozen memberships have been reinstated, and will be submitted to our billing company for the processing of September membership dues on 9/8/2020. Commencing with the October billing cycle, we will resume our traditional 10/4/2020 billing day. Please understand that we have done everything to sustain the club, but we can no longer continue to bear the entire expense of keeping the club open and operational on our own, and are therefore notifying members of these changes so that we all have a neighborhood gym to come to in the future.
We have some options available if you are not comfortable returning to the gym. You may view those options HERE!
If those options do not work, or you are unable to pay your monthly membership fee, you are welcome to make a request to extend the freeze to your membership. You can find additional information regarding freezing HERE! Information regarding terminating your membership may be found HERE!
The positive leap forward with reinstating will provide you with the ability to use the club, after of course reviewing and acknowledging all our safety procedures. But, if you are still not ready to stop in and prefer to remain physically distant, our online options will assist to keep your health a top priority by granting you access to one of our many virtual training sessions

Do I need to make a reservation to workout?
To help up maintain required limits on capacity, we ask that you reserve in advance a time to workout. You may reserve on our website or may use the MINDBODY app. The process is just like reserving for our group fitness classes.
