Ensuring a safe workout experience for you.

With the health and safety of our members, staff, and volunteers as our top priority, we've established the highest possible standards for our Health & Fitness branches. 

Safety Protocols:

  • Each member, staff, or volunteer will be screened upon arrival.
  • The number of people permitted on site will be limited to 50% of the maximum capacity. Pre-booking for the fitness floor is not required. Pre-booking for group fitness is encouraged to ensure your spot. 
  • Social distancing (2m) is required at all times. 
  • Designated entrances and exits.
  • Enhanced cleaning and hygiene practices.

Mask Guidelines:

  • All members, staff, and volunteers must wear a mask inside the facility while travelling between program areas and in change rooms. Members may remove their mask once in their designated workout space to exercise. 
  • During YThrive and Personal Training sessions, the coach will wear a mask but members have the option to remove their mask during exercise.
  • Masks should fit securely to the head with ties or loops, be made of at least two layers of tightly-woven material and cover the nose and mouth.
