Jim Webb sprays sanitizer
on a towel so he can wipe
down the equipment he
was using at the Muskogee
Swim and Fitness Center.
The Center has provided
three stations in the workout
room to assist patrons
in taking care of themselves
and the equipment.
clean," he said. "Hand sanitizers
are available on all our walls and
we've spread out our cleaning stations."
Chris Mills, who works at the
Center in the exercise room, said
he is asking patrons to practice
social distancing.
"We have all the machines that
are spaced out six feet apart," Mills
said. "So everybody can still practice
social distancing while they're
still getting their workout in."
And the Center has also provided
areas in the workout area so
members can take care of themselves
between workouts.
"We've provided three different
stations with the rags and cleaners,"
Mills said. "We also have a
list in case we are busy, they can
look at it and see the proper way
to keep infection down."
Mills said that while participation
numbers are down, there are
still times during the day that they
are busy.
"The older crowd in the morning
has kind of slowed down a
little," he said. "We've lost some
of our elderly couples that used to
come in here, but we have some
people that come in here every
single day and work out."
And the busiest times of the
day?
"Before 8 a.m., the noon lunch
hour and 4-6 p.m.," Mills said.
