Dear Level Up Team:
–February 25, 2022
Effective, Monday, February 28, 2022, Prince George’s County will lift the indoor mask mandate and face masks will no longer be required to be inside the gym. Some members will continue to wear a mask and we encourage everyone to be respectful of each other.

–October 1, 2021
Effective, Friday, October 1, 2021, at 5:00 p.m., all persons over the age of two will be required to wear a mask in all indoor public venues and businesses in Prince George’s County, even if they are fully vaccinated. Some exceptions do apply, such as when an individual is actively eating or drinking or individuals who have a bona fide disability that prevents them from wearing a mask.
–August 17, 2021
Since August 8, masks have be reinstated in PG County. All persons over the age of 5 are required to wear a mask, even if they are fully vaccinated.
–June 17, 2021
Since May 28, masks are encouraged to be worn unless fully vaccinated. Masking should be worn by unvaccinated children and unvaccinated adults indoors. Since children under 12 are not yet eligible for the vaccine, we will be cautious and enforce masking during the Youth Classes. For the time being, we will continue to conduct the temperature checks upon arrival for all members and guests that remain in the building.
–May 14, 2021
The COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions have been changing due to the increase in vaccination rates and decline in COVID-19 cases nationally and statewide. While CDC suggests that indoor activities pose minimal risk to fully vaccinated people and fully vaccinated people have reduced risk of transmitting SARS-CoV-2 to unvaccinated people, we must all continue to wear face masks in the gym because of Prince George’s County mandates.
NEWS: Due to a rapid decline in key COVID-19 metrics, as well as increasing vaccination rates in the County, we will align with the State and lift capacity and distancing restrictions for all indoor and outdoor venues beginning Monday, May 17, 2021 at 5:01 p.m. pic.twitter.com/UqBKvGm5QN

As more people become vaccinated in PG County, we are confident that we will be mask free at Level Up. But for now, lets rejoice that we can resume normal operations, with mask-wearing requirements in place!
New Procedures Due to COVID-19
- Touch-less Gym Entry – All members will be required to sign in using the Zen Planner App to check-in to the gym. You can download the App for free on your iOS or Android phone. If you do not elect to use the Mobile App to check-in, you must stop at the front desk to check in with a front desk representative!
- Disinfect Equipment After Use – This is especially important if you are using equipment outside of class. You must disinfect the equipment you use and place it back in its proper place.
- Additional Precautions – To reduce the transmission and infection of coronavirus, we will check temperatures of all staff and even members using a Touch-Free Thermometer. Simply step up to the thermometer (1 inch) and wait for the beep.
- Additional Sanitization Stations – We added sanitization stations throughout the gym for easy access to sanitation wipes, hand sanitizer, and disinfectant solutions.
- Clean Team – We enhanced our cleaning regime, and you’ll see our staff sanitizing equipment before, during, and after each class. In addition, we encourage all members to wipe down equipment, even your own, before and after use.
