Class Updates

Hi Everyone!

Here's an update on what we're doing lately! About half of our members have returned to the gym and our other half are happiest at home, so as always, please choose the best option for you and your health. 

Online Classes: We are still recording classes and making them available online via our Facebook group, our email group, and also on the GHF YouTube channel. If you are not yet connected to us and would like to be, please e-mail us using the link to the right. So far, we have 6 full class videos available and multiple Break It Down videos.

In-Person Classes: We now have two in-person classes at GHF for those who'd like to venture out:

      

        Tuesdays at 5:30pm taught by Alie or Betsy

        Saturdays at 11:00pm taught by Laura

Face masks are required as you walk to and from class, but are not required during class. Large blue dots on the floor help us distance from each other, and hand sanitizer and gym wipes are still readily available. For info on the PHI lights that kill bacteria and virus cells in the air, please see the post below.

Important: Come early! Class size is limited to 25. Lately we've had about 14-19 people per class. If we reach capacity, there will be a sign outside the door to let you know.  Please feel free to wait a bit in case someone leaves early and a spot comes open.

It's been wonderful to see your faces in person again, and for those at home, please stay safe and keep dancing!

New Class Option

Hello Everyone!

As more and more businesses re-open and expand their capacity, we are slowly doing the same with GroupFit at GHF. On June 15th, the temporary GroupFit schedule will expand slightly to offer a few more classes, including one Dance Attack class. We know a few members that are ready to return to the gym and many who are not, so please choose the best option for you and your health. We will provide an in-person presence for those ready to return, and continue our online presence for those most comfortable at home. Here's what you need to know:

Online Classes: As we've been doing since early April, we will continue to record classes and offer them online - in our Facebook group, our email group, and also on the GHF YouTube channel. If you are not yet connected to us and would like to be, please e-mail us using the link to the right.

In-Person Class at GHF: To give us a time separation from other classes, we'll be offering Dance Attack on Tuesdays, from 5:30pm to 6:30pm starting on June 16th and we will rotate the instructor each week, starting with Betsy, then Laura, then Alie. We'll continue this into July and see what changes we'd like to make then.

Class Limits & Cleaning Updates: Class size is limited to 23. There are large blue dots on the floor 8-10 feet apart, so each person can center on a dot to help with distancing. There is a hand sanitizer unit at the back of the room by the door along with two cleaning wipe canisters. Three new fans have been added to the room that contain Photohydroionisation (PHI) Cells that kill bacteria and virus cells in the air. These same cells have been added inside the air conditioning vents in the room as well. For extra info on PHI cells, here are some links:

Face masks are not required in class, but we encourage you to wear one as you walk to and from class to help protect your health and the health of others.

We miss you all and look forward to continued health as we move forward. Stay safe and let's keep dancing!

Dance Attack Classes Online!

Hello Everyone! We hope that you and your families are well and safe! We have been making strides to get some Dance Attack classes online for you and would love for you to join us. We have our first video available to break down the steps of our newest routine, and more on the way.

Please e-mail us using the link to the right and we'll get you connected to our member group and our class videos! You can also access our videos on the GHF YouTube channel several days after they're available in our Dance Attack group.

Enjoy and be safe!
