A new way to keep our equipment clean
You will notice some changes to the way we clean and care for our spaces at The Marsh. Over the past few months we have gradually transitioned from our current spray bottle and paper towel cleaning method to biodegradable disinfecting wipes.
Why the change?
-
Better for our equipment. Wipes help prevent overspray, which can be hard on fitness machines and electronics over time.
-
Better for the environment. Our new wipes are biodegradable, reducing waste while still providing effective cleaning.
The one thing that won't change is our commitment to providing a clean, safe and welcoming fitness environment. We appreciate your help by continuing to wipe down equipment after each use. Thank you for helping us care for our facility and one another!

The Marsh Café continues to serve guests weekday mornings as the city explores a long-term café partner.

You can also take the café home with you. Up North Coffee whole bean and ground coffee is available for purchase in Marshland Market.
