Physical Activity Screening Forms
Before taking part in any of our group fitness programs we require that you complete a Get Active Questionnaire. This is a pre-exercise screening tool designed by the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology (CSEP) to help ensure you have a safe physical activity experience. When you sign up for a membership or register for a class you will be prompted to answer these pre-screening questions.

Where all strength-based and cycle classes take place. Studio C- located on the floor level. Where all our pilates and yoga classes take place.

How would I find out if a class was cancelled or changed to a different format? |
We recognize it can be an inconvenience when the class you were planning on attending is changed or cancelled. While we do our best to avoid having to cancel or change the format of a fitness class, there are times when this simply can’t be avoided. Here are the following ways which we work to communicate any class changes or cancellations to our patrons:
Our first priority is always to offer our patrons an opportunity to engage in activity so we do first opt to change the class format where possible rather than cancel a class. |
