At California Family Fitness, we always prioritize wellness, and especially during the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak. Based a recent directive from California Governor Gavin Newsom, all of our California Family Fitness locations will be temporarily closing today, March 17th, at 2 PM.
We will continue to monitor the Coronavirus and evaluate when it will be safe to reopen. We will keep you updated with information, including the reopening dates for our clubs.

Please be sure to reserve your spot in class ahead of time using the Cal Fit app, then check in at the group fitness kiosk at least 10 minutes before class begins.
We can't thank you enough for your understanding and willingness to do your part to contribute to the safety of our community. As the COVID-19 situation is quickly evolving, we encourage you to check back here frequently for updates.
While concerns about COVID-19 (Coronavirus) continue, we want to communicate regularly on what our company is doing to ensure all our facilities are safe for our members to use. At this difficult time, we can each play a vital role in helping to reduce the impact and look after ourselves and each other.
What we are doing. California Family Fitness has a long-standing practice of disinfecting all club areas with a medical-grade, EPA registered solution throughout the day. In addition, we are taking guidance from these published Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Guidelines to increase cleaning frequency hourly, with special attention to highly used items. We will also continue to stock disposable wipes, alcohol-based hand sanitizers, paper towels, and disinfecting spray for use by employees and customers throughout our clubs.
To further protect our members, guests, and employees, Cal Fit has made the decision to modify hours of operation for the remainder of March. During modified hours of closure, the Cal Fit team will be hard at work disinfecting all touchable surfaces. The following areas will be our primary focus:
This disinfecting schedule will follow guidelines recommended by the CDC. Please click here for modified club hours, by location. At times your preferred club is closed we welcome you to visit another open club, regardless of your membership.
What you can do. We encourage all members to review the following best practices inside and outside the club to keep yourself and others healthy.
What all of us can do. Another important element of maintaining a safe and healthy club environment in the current circumstances is managing person-to-person contact to limit the potential exposure to and spread of the virus. The CDC recommends avoiding physical contact and maintaining a distance of at least six feet from other people. This "social distancing" is difficult to maintain and regulate within the club environment. At this time, we are continuing our club programs and activities as scheduled--except as otherwise announced--but we encourage our employees, members, and guests to consider the following precautions within Cal Fit clubs:
