WASHINGTON FITNESS ALLIANCE FACT SHEET August 18, 2020

• Exercise increases immune strength and reduces the length of infection – US National Library of Medicine – National Institute of Health, July 2020
• There is no data showing outbreaks are happening in health clubs.
• The CDC shows no data that fitness clubs are a source of outbreaks
• 9.4 million check-ins, from 2873 open fitness locations, show 1155 cases of COVID19 called-in to clubs (not contracted at the club) showing a ratio of 42,731 check-ins for every 1 case of COVID called-in a rate of .005%
• High exertion exercise is minimal concern – Data collected from 
MyZone on over 49 million workouts and 3.8 billion minutes of exercise by health club members. Training above 90% heart rate occurred 3.7% of the time. The vast majority of exercise is done at much more moderate exertion levels. (MyZone Figures)
• CDC recommendations for indoor fitness dated June 30, 2020 support distancing of 6 feet in fitness centers (“CDC Recommendations for Fitness”)
