Inclement Weather Policies & State of Emergency Notices
Important note: Our Inclement Weather Policy is no longer tied to school district closings or early dismissals.
Cornerstone is committed to being open during our normal operating hours and providing the many services utilized by our valued members. However, there will be instances where inclement weather (primarily snow and ice) may necessitate closing our clubs either part or all of the day. In addition, service and class schedules may be revised.
We consider these decisions carefully and make them solely out of concern for potentially endangering our members and staff. During inclement weather you are encouraged to check our website www.cornerstoneclubs.com for the most updated source of information. Cornerstone will make its decision and follow the guidelines set forth below:
Weather Factors that may alter our standard opening/closing as well as class schedules and services
The Weather report or actual conditions indicate extremely hazardous conditions prior to the club opening in the morning:
A determination will be made for all clubs by Cornerstone Management by no later than 3:00am on weekdays or 4:30 am on weekends to either close the clubs or delay their opening. In most cases, this determination will be made for all clubs but under some circumstances could be made for one club (i.e. – a specific location has a power outage and cannot open). In most cases the club will delay opening until 9am but could open later depending upon conditions. Again, it’s important to check the website for updates.
Opening at 9am:
If the determination is made to open at 9am, the time of opening will be updated on the Cornerstoneclubs.com website.
