Hey everyone! Excited to say that the gym will be reopening tomorrow!!!! Couple of updates for everyone:

For those who paid for their April memberships, your payment will rollover and cover the rest of June. Just stop in to the chiropractor's office and we'll get you the code and get you going. 6 month and annual memberships will also rollover, you'll be receiving a text message soon with more information. If you don't receive one just stop in to the office to get updated.

Because we are in stage 2 COVID restrictions still apply. Please review the following points:

-We still have to limit the number of people in the gym to accommodate the 3m social distancing mandate for indoor fitness, so we will be using the red card green card system again. Please see the bulletin board outside the gym for more details. Maximum occupancy for the gym is 10 people at a time.

-You are free to use the treadmills, bikes, and other cardio equipment as long as social distancing is maintained (3m separation from others). No restrictions on workout intensity levels have been announced, so have at 'er!

-Masks are still required for indoor public spaces, but there is an exemption when engaging in high intensity physical exercise. Other medical exemptions may apply as well. Please use your best judgement when masking, and please respect others as well.

-All other sanitizing practices are still required. Wash your hands, wipe stuff down, put equipment away when you're done with it.

One other update for you all: Initially we decided to raise monthly membership fees to $40, but with much deliberation we've decided to return membership fees back to $35 per month. We appreciate your support of our gym and can't wait to have everyone back again!!!

04/07/2021

Well here we go again.....

Due to COVID restrictions we've been forced to shut the gym down starting April 7th. No idea when we'll open again. As before, your memberships will be honoured and will rollover to whatever month we do open up again.

Chins up everyone.

Hey everyone, the government just updated the restrictions for indoor fitness facilities and masks are now required for all low-intensity activities. Please wear your mask while in the gym. Thank you.

03/03/2021

Hi Everyone, the gym will be open tomorrow!!!! Please read the following carefully:

We have been given permission by the government to reopen on an extremely limited basis. Right now only low intensity workouts are permitted. High intensity exercise/cardio training is not allowed at this time. 😢 So essentially the cardio equipment will be unavailable. Weights and stretching are about the limit.

We also have to limit the number of people down in the gym, so we've come up with a new system to help keep track. We are limiting it to 10 people in the gym at a time. When you arrive, there will be red and green cards hanging on the wall outside the gym door. If the green card is visible, it means there is a space available in the gym. Take the card and turn it over so the red side is visible and replace it. You may now enter the gym. When you are done your workout, turn the card back to the green side before you leave. If all cards are red please wait until someone exits the gym or come back at a later time.

Be sure to follow all social distancing protocols. Wearing a mask is strongly encouraged, but not mandatory while exercising. In addition to clean, non-outside shoes, please bring a personal towel and hand sanitizer. Equipment towels and sanitizer will be provided. Towels for equipment will be changed daily.

If you paid for your membership in December, that membership will carry over to March. All annual and 6 month memberships will also carry over to this month.

We appreciate that this situation is far from ideal but until the government relaxes restrictions, it is what we get to work with. If you are not comfortable with what we are attempting to do, no problem, you are free to wait until things improve and there is more freedom from restrictions.

As always, thanks for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Third Wave Executive

Hey Everyone! Great news today, the government has eased some restrictions on indoor fitness activities so looks like we'll be able to open up hopefully by the end of the week! There will be new protocols to follow which will be outlined here once we get everything sorted out and organized, so stay tuned!

02/09/2021

Hello Friends! COVID update time: The government recently announced that some indoor fitness activities could resume on Mon, Feb 8th. However, these activities are restricted to one-on-one training with a personal trainer only, so unfortunately the gym will remain closed until we can fully open to the public again. 😞 The government will reassess in 3 weeks time.
Once again thank you for you patience and understanding.

12/09/2020

COVID UPDATE: This week the government announced all gyms and fitness centers must close on Sunday, Dec 13th. ☹️😡☹️ We will remain open until that time and ask that you still comply with our COVID protocols when using the gym.

If you purchased a membership for December your membership will roll over into the month when the gym is allowed to open again (hopefully January!) For six-month and annual memberships, your membership will also roll over.

We will not be loaning/renting out gym equipment during the closure.

Lastly, just wanted to give a big thank you to all gym members for your efforts in following the new protocols and keeping our facility clean and safe! We've received little to no complaints about unsafe practices in the gym, and want to acknowledge everyone's efforts.

Keep safe everyone and have a Merry Christmas!

11/25/2020

COVID UPDATE: the gym is still open! All spin, yoga, and group fitness classes are postponed for the next three weeks, but individual use of the gym is permitted. All of our previous COVID protocols still apply, including the 15 person max capacity for the gym. Thank you for your efforts and for keeping our gym a clean a safe place to exercise! 💪
