With the stay-at-home order lifted last Friday, the PC MARC is set to open its doors on Monday, May 11, in accordance with the new set of guidelines laid out by Summit County. Fitness facilities reopen in Summit County, but with safety restrictions RYAN KOSTECKA The Park Record For months, residents of Summit County have been cooped up inside and haven’t been able to head to their favorite gyms to get “summer ready” or enjoy group activities in the outdoors. But that will change after Summit County lifted its stay-at-home order Friday and replaced it with a new directive. With a slowing rate of new coronavirus cases in Summit County, gyms and recreational facilities have been given the OK to reopen under strict guidelines that are meant to safeguard against a second wave of cases. “This is absolutely a step in the right direction, at least a huge part of us hoping to return to normal one day sooner rather than later,” said Stanton Jones, owner of Silver Mountain Sports Club and Spa. “I was talking to members this past weekend and they just felt alive again. … You could feel it in their voice because they were so giddy about being able to strain their bodies differently than they were at home.” Jones was among the business representatives who worked with Summit County to identify how gyms could reopen in a safe manner. Tina Adkinson, Yoga Park City’s studio manager, was another member of the group and said she was eager to be part of the effort. “To us it was more about providing for the community to contribute to mental, physical and emotional health,” she said. “The level of conservativeness that we’ve taken couldn’t be higher. … We have 80-plus years of fitness experience through this group so we understand what it would take and our details are so clearly laid out for a successful opening.” Other representatives involved were Stephen Sutherland of South Summit Aquatics Center, Chris Spealler of CrossFit Park City, Ashley Battersby of State of Mind Yoga and Fitness Center and Maryguenn Vellinga of RISE Boxing. Together, they helped put forth the restrictions that were submitted to and approved by the Summit County Health Department, allowing the businesses and facilities to reopen, albeit on their own timelines and at their own discretion. For example, Jones and Silver Mountain opened up Saturday at 7 a.m. as people were waiting at the entrance for the doors to open. Sutherland and South Summit Aquatics Center had a soft opening on Monday for their gym and fitness center, but the lap pool isn’t scheduled to open until May 18. Other businesses like Tadasana Yoga, RISE Boxing and CrossFit Park City are taking a more conservative approach and not opening until this weekend or early next week. They said they’re making sure they can properly disinfect everything, in accordance with the restrictions, while keeping employees safe. “Once we were allowed to reopen, we put out a survey to see what the response would be to small group classes. … And we’ve been doing Zoom and online classes for our members so we’ve gotten a lot of dialogue through the community,” Vellinga said. “A lot of people are hesitant to come back while some are super eager. There are some challenges and limitations with the public health order so we are trying to navigate those issues now instead of learning and trying to fix them with people inside.” Among the restrictions are employee temperature checks, virtual signins, patron limits and more.

The Park Record wants to hear from you COURTESY OF STANTON JONES A sign posted inside the Silver Mountain Sports Club and Spa states the new guidelines for its members to use the facilities. This sign is following the new regulations placed by Summit County, allowing the businesses and facilities to reopen, albeit on their own timelines and at their own discretion. list is available at summitcounty.org/ DocumentCenter/View/10897/JointPublic-Health-Order-2020-05---Stabilization-Phase. Spealler said the effort to craft the restrictions was positive, involving people from different business and fitness backgrounds. “It was great to work with some people I’ve known just by crossing paths or with ones I was meeting for the first time. … We felt a big respon- sibility to serve Park City and it always came down the safety and health of the community,” Spealler said. “A lot of what we did came down to the ease of controlling the environment we were in instead of having an open and free-for-all format. It was really helpful to talk with trainers and hear their thoughts and processes because it allowed us to not leave anything out.” Please see New, B-3 Anne Cameron Mediation Attorney | Mediator | Collaborative Professional Offering Virtual Meetings and Mediations Moving New Cases and Mediations Forward Collaborative and Mediation Cases are Not Impacted by Court Calendar Focusing on Family Law Document Drafting for No Contest Divorce, Custody, and Family Law Send submissions to editor@parkrecord.com 1526 Ute Blvd., Suite 206, Park City, UT 84098 1945 S 1100 E., Suite 200, Salt Lake City, UT 84106 435-640-2158 | 435-659-8732 anne@aaclawutah.com www.aaclawutah.org www.utahcollabdivorce.com |
