OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gyms and fitness facilities will need to nearly triple the minimum distance required for patrons exercising indoors, except for those practicing certain team sports.

New COVID-19 guidance issued by Gov. Inslee increases the requirement of six feet of distance between patrons to about 17 feet.

The number of people allowed in gyms, fitness facilities and fitness classes will be limited by the size of their space and gyms that are larger than 12,000 square feet will be capped at 25 percent occupancy.

In addition, showers, hot tubs, saunas, and tanning beds at multi-use facilities will be closed, as will steam rooms, squash courts, and racquetball courts.
