In response to the recent changes to the North Carolina COVID-19 restrictions on gyms and fitness centers, Athletic Lab will begin a phased reopening plan that meets the highest standards of safety and cleanliness. Our new schedule will go into effect the week of September 7th (excluding an abbreviated Labor Day schedule).

Please note the following updates to our schedule. As always, the most updated schedule can always be found on our Schedule Page. Please also read our updated policies and procedures.

Reservation Policy

We have increased class size limits for most of our training sessions in response to the most recent North Carolina guidelines. We have adapted our spaces to ensure social distancing and cleanliness. That said, spaces remain limited for all classes. Spaces are not guaranteed unless they have been reserved in advance. All reservations should be made through our membership management portal. Participation in all sessions requires an active membership (or a paid drop-in) and completion of a supplemental waiver. Members may complete the supplemental waiver on their membership management portal if they have not already done so. Individuals with prior reservations and those attending coached classes will be given priority for space. Time slots will be limited to the scheduled duration of the class or open gym session.

Indoor and Outdoor Open Gym

For the time being, open gym is only permitted during designated hours. We offer both indoor and outdoor open gym opportunities. Reservations are required. Equipment and a supervisory coach will be onsite during open gym hours. Members may follow our remote programming or do a session of their choosing during the designated times. Until further notice, we require individuals in open gym to remain within the designated locations. Individuals attending outdoor open gym will be assigned their own “training bay.” Individuals attending indoor open gym will be restricted to a designated area of the facility.

Outdoor Classes

Reservations are required. Individuals will be assigned their own “training bay” to ensure safe social distancing and allow staff to appropriately clean equipment after each use. A maximum of 6-8 reservable training bays will be available depending on the class.

Inclement Weather Policy for Outdoor Classes

In the event of poor weather conditions that risk health and safety, Athletic Lab will make every attempt to move outdoor classes indoors. We do, however, reserve the right to cancel the outdoor class if moving the session indoors would compromise our ability to follow current NC Phase 2.5 guidelines for social distancing, occupancy and group sizes.

Drop-ins and Free Trials

Due to concerns of space management, we are not currently offering free trials. We ask that anyone wishing to attend without an existing membership reserve and pay the standard class drop-in fee. In the event that the individual signs up for an active membership, the drop-in fee will be credited towards the first membership payment.

Hold Policy

Our COVID-19 account hold policy will be extended. All members currently on hold will have their hold automatically extended until September 20th unless otherwise requested. Members may extend their complimentary hold through October 30th. If you wish to do so, please contact us.
