Facilities

The J-Fit Health Club is One of Fairfax's
Newest and Safest Fitness Facilities

Offering indoor and outdoor workout spaces, J-Fit is one of the safest gyms in town due to our strict safety measures that include: following CDC and state guidelines for mask wearing, physical/social distancing, cleaning, and the number of people allowed in certain spaces; an upgraded HVAC (heating, ventilating and air conditioning) system that maximizes fresh air exchanges and features MERV 13 filters to optimize the air quality inside the building; and a bipolar ionization system that kills 99% of the virus in occupied spaces. 

Fitness facilities include spaces for the indoor fitness center with separate weight and cardio areas, outdoor turf gym, swimming pool, and full court gymnasium which also houses our "spinasium" when being used for Spin classes. With so many fitness spaces located throughout the wellness wing of the Pozez JCC, members can enjoy large workout spaces that allow for the required safe physical distance between members. Unlike most gyms in town, J-Fit is not a box gym with one large workout space.

Personal training and group exercise classes are available throughout the week and cater to all fitness levels and interests. The six lane, 25-meter, heated, indoor pool is open for lap lane swimming, click here for details.

Safety Measures

We have the safety and continued good health of our members and staff at the forefront of our preparations for the phased re-opening of our facilities.

We follow all guidelines for physical/social distancing, cleaning, and the number of people allowed in certain spaces. Our recently upgraded HVAC (heating, ventilating and air conditioning) system allows us to maximize fresh air exchanges and features MERV 13 filters to optimize the air quality inside the building. In addition, the J installed a bipolar ionization system that kills 99% of the virus in occupied spaces.  We are working hard to make the J one of the safest places around.

In addition to incorporating guidance from experts in the field of fitness and wellness, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and state and local governments, we have engaged Global Engineering Solutions to advise us on specific preventive measures the J can implement to keep our community safe. Additionally, we have established a health advisory committee comprised of professionals in public health policy here in Fairfax County. We are confident that we are taking the right approach to open a safe and healthy environment where our community will feel comfortable and welcomed.

Please review the following policies and procedures so you are familiar with the expectations of our guests prior to your arrival. It will make for a smooth and seamless admission to the J.

ENTERING THE J:

Safe Physical Distancing. We recommend, when able, to physically distance yourself from others in a room and in hallways throughout the building.

Face Covering Required/No Disposable Gloves: Prior to entering the J, everyone 5 years of age and older must have a face mask covering your nose and mouth. Disposable gloves must be removed. Soap and water and hand sanitizer is readily available for comprehensive hand hygiene practices once inside.

When in the J-FIT HEALTH CLUB workout spaces, face masks are required to cover your nose and mouth at all times.

MASK-WEARING POLICIES

The Pozez JCC takes its responsibility to ensure, to the best of its ability, that the community visiting our facilities are kept safe from harm’s way.
