“Our top priority is always the safety and well-being of our members and staff,” said Ron Magliocco, Vice President of Marketing for The Edge Fitness Clubs. “All Edge locations follow best-in-class health and safety protocols including the use of Sanitation Stations, hospital grade cleaning supplies in every area of the facility to wipe down equipment and sanitize hands, and touchless entry for each member.”
