Posted on May 9, 2020

Welcome Back! South Central Wellness Center and Sports Performance+ appreciates your patience during our closure due to Coronavirus. In accordance with Governor Reeves’ Executive Order, gym and wellness facilities are permitted to re-open on Monday, May 11th. These facilities will follow strict guidelines to keep their guests and staff safe. The South Central Wellness Center and Sports Performance+ facility will re-open for appointment reservations only beginning Monday, May 11th at 6 a.m.

Cody Rogers, DPT, Director of Rehabilitation Services at SCRMC, stated, “We sincerely appreciate the understanding of our community during our closure. The staff is excited to re-open our facilities and want to ensure the community we will go above and beyond to keep all areas sanitized and safe. We will follow all guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Mississippi Department of Health (MSDH).”

While we transition into this new time period, we will implement new procedures to ensure the utmost safety for those in our facilities. All members must reserve an appointment time by phone prior to entering the building. Temperature and wellness screening stations will be setup at the entrance of each facility for each person entering the building. Members will be allotted a 1 hour time slot, per day to utilize gym floor, aerobics room or spin room. This will be based on availability and must be reserved daily by phone. We ask that all members using the equipment or class space observe social distancing guidelines. There will be assigned staff who will thoroughly clean and sanitize the building, all equipment and rooms between each appointment.

Reservations will be required and will begin at 6 a.m. on Monday, May 11th. Members are required to call each day to reserve a new appointment time by phone. Only those with scheduled times will be allowed to enter the facility. Please call 601-399-0530 for an appointment at the South Central Wellness Center.
