UPDATED- 10/7/21

The Mattoon Area Family YMCA and Neal Center YMCA take the health and safety of our members, staff and community very seriously. In order to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, we have committed to following IDPH and DCEO approved safety guidelines in our facilities. Complying with these mitigations allows us to maintain our pool and childcare licenses and keep our members safe and healthy. Our goal is to be able to continue to provide our community with opportunities for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, even through the pandemic.

Our current safety guidelines include:

• Masks are required when moving throughout the facility. They may be removed during exercise.
• Classes and equipment will be spaced to allow for social distancing. To check the location of your favorite class, click here.
• Members are required to use provided wipes to sanitize equipment before and after use.
• Frequent cleaning & sanitation by staff of equipment, touch points, locker rooms, restrooms and the facility.
• Members & staff are asked to stay home if exhibiting any symptoms.
• Reservations are required for cycling classes, TRX and Hot Yoga at the Mattoon Y, and pool lanes at the Neal Center Y.

At the Y, the safety of our members, staff and community are our first priority. We are committed to supporting our community during times of health, and during times of difficulty, by safely providing programs and services to promote a healthy mind, body and spirit for all.
