Synergy is happy to announce operation of your Fitness Center in a limited capacity. We look forward to seeing you over the coming weeks! We want to assure the community that every policy has been implemented with resident safety as the top priority. We ask that everyone follow these policies to ensure all residents and staff are as safe as possible during this time. We will continue to evaluate the changing environment and information and adapt accordingly.
Appointments:
- Individual appointments must be reserved for regular workouts in the Fitness Center to ensure mandatory building occupancy and social distancing guidelines are met.
- Appointments will be limited to residents aged 16 and older.
- Appointments will begin at the top of each hour and last 45 minutes. The remaining 15-minute interval will allow staff adequate time to ensure sanitation between appointments.
- You must promptly vacate the Fitness Center at the end of your scheduled appointment. Failure to arrive on time for your scheduled appointment will result in forfeiture of missed time.
- Appointments will need to be made through our Calendly schedule link prior to coming to the facility.
- Links to our Calendly schedule will be distributed weekly in the Community Newsletter
- Appointments for each week will go live four days prior to the start of the week.
- You may reserve a maximum of three non-consecutive appointments per week (i.e. you may reserve the same time Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday; however, you may not reserve three consecutive times on Monday). Residents in violation of this rule will have excess appointments canceled. Repeat violations will be reviewed and risk suspension from scheduling.
Check In Process:
- Appointments will enter the building via the outdoor upper level. Markings and signage will be present to assist residents in navigating check in.
- You must present your Penderbrook ID to the staff member at check in to verify appointment. You will not be admitted to the building without your Penderbrook ID.
- You will be asked screening questions by a staff member prior to being admitted to the building. If you answer positively to any screening question, you will be asked to forfeit your appointment.
- Lower level access will only be provided to residents requiring ADA accessibility. Please note your requirement for ADA accessibility at the time of your appointment, and a staff member will meet you on the lower level after completing upper level check ins.
