COVID-19
We’d like to remind everyone of the importance of physical activity, good health, and nutrition in maintaining your overall health and supporting your immune system whether it be inside or outside CHF. We are committed to following all local guidelines in order to keep our doors open to all our members because we believe providing a space for the development of your physical and mental well-being is an essential service.
