Please review the important information below about reopening plans and protocols:

When coming to The Center there will be a requirement to wear a face mask. As per the City of Anna Maria’s face mask order. It states:

“Every person working, living, visiting or doing business in the city of Anna Maria shall wear a face covering in any indoor location, other than their home or residence, when not maintaining social distancing from other persons.” Facial coverings are not required to be worn by the following persons:

• Children under the age of two years;
• People for whom a face covering would cause impairment due to an existing health condition;
• People working in a business or profession who do not have interactions with other people;
• People working in an office when all interactions with others are done with social distancing as recommended by the CDC;
• People eating and/or drinking at a restaurant; provided, however, that face coverings must otherwise be worn in restaurants.”

You will need to wear a mask when entering the building and leaving the building. Once you arrive in your class, fitness area, or court where you can safely social distance you can remove your mask.

We also will still be enforcing the follow protocols:

• Temperature Checks – Visit the front desk as soon as you enter to have your temperature taken prior to checking in. Staff also will receive daily temperature checks. A new liability waiver must be signed.
• Wipe Down Equipment – Use the cleaning materials provided. Wipe down all equipment before and after your workout. The Center staff also will disinfect equipment and activity areas regularly.
• Keep Your Distance – Stay at least six feet away from others whenever possible. Look for signage to help. (When you can’t a face mask is required)
• Stay Home if Sick -Keep our community safe. Stay home if you are feeling sick or are vulnerable to illness.
• Everyone needs brings their own towel, water bottle, and yoga mat for fitness classes

A few reminders:

• For our senior members (60+) we will continue to have a DESIGNATED fitness area time between the hours of 2pm-4pm.
• Our fitness classes will continue to be in the gym to allow easy social distancing.
• Summer Camp is Monday-Friday 8am to 6pm. For more information or to register contact Connor Haughey at [email protected]

Our #1 priority is the safety and health of all of our members, guests, campers, and staff. We are taking precautions, but there is always a chance of being exposed to Coronavirus in all public places, including The Center. We will continue to learn and change protocols as needed.

Client Testimonial about Stephanie Belill:  “I am a 61 year old woman who had some specific issues I needed to work on. Brenda Canning assigned Stephanie as my trainer and I could not have been happier. She was always positive and encouraging. Stephanie was always on time and willing to give me extra if needed. I am returning to New York but will definitely use Stephanie when I return. She is a true professional but not intimidating. After working with her these past months I feel energized to continue and improve my health.”

Client Testimonial about Brenda Canning: “A great big thank you  Brenda Canning, owner of Island Fitness,  for getting me into shape and keeping me there, as I celebrate 18 years with you as my personal trainer!   Brenda’s knowledge of the body’s muscles, structure, and her infinite patience are astonishing! Knowing my many health issues and surgery history, Brenda makes sure that we work around them – not an easy task.

I am kayaking, walking several miles a day – working out three times a week with Brenda – dancing as often as possible, zip lining – traveling, swimming and  horseback riding.

It is so great to feel well, be in shape and to live my life to the fullest. My doctors gave me a dire prognosis for my future – Thanks to Brenda, I showed them – I am a SURVIVOR – at 76 years of age!”
