MAY 16 2021 UPDATE MASK PROTOCOLS AT BODY FIRST

As you may be aware the mask mandate for the City of Manhattan and Riley County is set to expire on May 16th.

The wellness, health, and safety of our staff, clients, and members have been our highest priority over the past year and continues to be so.  Many of you who walk through our doors are at higher risk. Our patrons include those that may be immunosuppressed, are at higher risk for complications, have loved ones they are wishing to protect from COVID-19, or have been unable to be vaccinated yet. In order to protect those that are more vulnerable, we will continue to require our patrons to continue to take precautions and there will be times when you will be asked to wear a mask.
