…TRAINING DURING COVID-19

Governor Wolf has recommended a 14-day self quarantine for anyone who has traveled to a state with high numbers of COVID cases.  Therefore, for the safety of all of our members, we are asking that any member who has traveled to the states listed below refrain from class attendance for 14 days after their return to PA.  As COVID numbers continue to change, there may be other states added to this list.  As always, if you visit a "hotspot" or feel you have been exposed to COVID, please self-quarantine for 14 days.
