GYM PHASE 3 RE-OPENING!.
GYM CAPACITY
We will be operating with a 35 person capacity in the gym. This number includes staff and trainers.
If you arrive at the gym and we are at capacity, you will have to wait outside the front door before a staff member will allow you to enter. For every person that leaves, another can enter. 2 people out, 2 people in. 3 out, 3 in..etc. Maintain 6 feet distance while waiting.
Anyone who has booked a personal training session or group class does not have to wait, even if we are at 35 people. The official government capacity is 50 people, meaning that by limiting our numbers to 35, we will not exceed the regulations during class and personal training times.
We encourage you to call before your workout to see if there is a wait time to enter.
While we’re not setting time limits on workouts, we expect that you will be respectful of the current circumstances and will finish your workout within an hour and half.
PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND MASKS
Any time you’re in the gym, waiting outside, in the front entrance..etc, you are required to maintain 6 feet distance between yourself and other members. You’ll notice some cardio machines have been put out of use to assist with distancing. This includes weight machines.
If you’re working out on a machine, and another member comes to use the machine directly beside you, you are required to wait to do your next set AFTER that person has finished theirs. Nobody should be using machines directly beside each other at the same time.
Masks are not mandatory on the gym floor, however they are mandatory when entering or exiting the gym, or in the washrooms. They are also mandatory when talking to a staff member at the front of the gym (membership inquiries, payments..etc). You are welcome to wear a mask at all times if you choose.
Please bring your own water bottle, and avoid using our water fill station unless absolutely necessary, in which you will sanitize the handle after you fill.
Do not hang out or linger around the front reception. If you have a membership question or need to speak to a staff member, this is fine, but please do not hang out after your workout.
We will resume normal operating hours. Holiday Monday will be 8am – 4pm.
Hours of Operation
CLEANING AND SANITIZING
When you enter the gym, you are required to sanitize your hands.
Members must take a spray bottle and keep with them at all times – and are required to wipe equipment after use (spray bottles are provided at the front).
Staff will also disinfect equipment DURING the day.
You are encouraged NOT to share equipment with another member, but in the event that this happens, spray and wipe the equipment between each set.
Our staff and trainers will be walking around during the day and helping to maintain social distancing and safety precautions. If we feel you are not abiding by the rules set out by the Ontario government and us, we will revoke your membership and ask you to return at a later time.
