The Lifestyle Center provides update to members on re-opening
VISALIA – The Lifestyle Center, a division of Kaweah Delta, announced
today that it will not re-open until the State gives fitness facilities
the green light to open amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“At the end of the day, we are committed to your health and well-being,”
said Patrick Tazio, Director of The Lifestyle Center, to members of the
medically-based fitness facility. “We hope you can appreciate that
you are the reason we must take a more cautious approach in re-opening.”
Tazio told members that TLC is working to put a number of changes in place
to keep them, along with staff safe including:
-Safety Screenings: Members’ temperatures will be taken and they
will be asked to answer a series of questions to ensure they do not pose
a risk to others.
-Moving Equipment: Cardio and strength equipment will open first, so TLC
is moving equipment, some into the gymnasium, to make sure that members
are six feet apart from each other.
-Thorough Cleaning: TLC is continuing to use hospital-grade cleaners to
meet all guidelines for cleanliness and safety set by the State and Federal
government.
-Member Limits: TLC may limiting the number of members into the facility
at any one time, but in a way that will not impact members.
-Temporary Closures: The following will not immediately open – pools
(all public pools, spas and hot tubs are currently closed per Tulare County
order), locker rooms (other than restrooms), childcare, group classes,
or basketball court activities. These closures will be evaluated on a
daily basis and when it safe to re-open these, TLC will.
TLC closed its doors on March 18 in response to the Governor’s shutdown
order. It is a division of Kaweah Delta Health Care District and is a
medically-based fitness and rehabilitation facility staffed with certified
professionals. The Lifestyle Center offers a wide variety of state-of-the-art
equipment, exercise rooms, and activities for all ages and abilities in
