Wanted to send out a quick note on some upcoming changes based on your feedback over the past few months! As always, never hesitate to send your feedback directly to me thor @ raincityathletics.ca whether its about coaches, schedules, or anything in between. I can’t promise the changes will be made but I can promise they’ll be added to my big giant list and taken into consideration :D
COVID UPDATES
The latest series of recommendations from the PHO are just that, recommendations. The current MANDATES in place are masks and vaccines, the rest is now essentially up to us.
After a good chat at our staff meeting this past Monday, we’ve decided we’re ready to start loosening things at the gym as we increase capacity. With that being said, we will ALWAYS make sure to take care of or tailor to any individual concerns as much as we can - so please, if you’re a little more COVID hesitant that the majority do NOT hesitate to notify your coach or just reach out to me directly and let us know what we can do to help keep you comfortable as we move back towards ‘normal’ <3
We will no longer restrict entry to class start time (as we’ve been loosening up on all week).
Though we still need to avoid large congregations of groups before and after class, so please avoid lingering as much as possible and make sure to respect everyone’s space in the locker areas etc.
Masks are still required at all times when not working out.
As we begin to increase capacities again this is more important than ever. You are required to have your mask WITH YOU at all times, and are expected to put it on as much as possible, and anytime that you are not actively exercising. We will continue to be strict on this.
These are a few things that had to be bumped back due to the closure, but will come into full effect by the end of the month :)
The return of 7AM [FF] Classes Tues & Thurs
[SC] Lift+Sweat Classes will return to the OG with coaches James & Simon (official start date TBD - but before months end)
[FF] Olympic Lifting Class 7PM Tuesdays
This WILL replace the 7PM [FF] Group Class, but there will still be [FF] Access available as well as a [SC] Lift+Sweat class
More Cleaning
We’re ramping up the cleaning, especially in the locker area, classes, and most importantly bathrooms!
PLEASE help us out - clean up after your dogs, your chalk, avoid wearing dirty outside shoes through the gym, etc.
More Consistent Class Flows
As we work to establish our ‘new normal’ we’re also working hard to re-establish our coaching flow baseline, including warmups, class flow, class / equipment setup, and more
And much more that we’ll send updates about over the coming weeks! But those are just a few of the changes being made for 2022 thanks to your feedback over the last few months <3
As always, thank you for being a part of our community and adapting with us as we’ve navigated this pandemic. I couldn’t be more excited for the epic team we’ve got here to take you guys through 2022 and get back all the fitness (and fun) we missed out on over the last 2 years.
