“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if folks might be willing to share any fitness studios they know of that are requiring proof of vaccination in order to take their workout classes. I know that’s something 305 Fitness is doing for indoor classes (in addition to complying w/ mask mandate). And it was also announced today that Equinox and Soul Cycle would require proof of vaccination starting in September.
Anywhere else in DC/the DMV area?”
