Our Reopening Plans

  
After 5 long months, we are so excited to be able to welcome you back carefully and safely to our club.  We are incredibly grateful to have stayed connected to many of you through our virtual program.  We also want to let you know that we are deeply grateful for the support you have shown for our team members during this difficult time. 

We have spared no expense and our team has worked extremely hard to prepare the club for your safe return by implementing new procedures and protocols with your well-being as our number one priority.  We believe that outside your home, our club will be the safest place to be. 

Our Phased Re-opening Plan
As mentioned above, our goal is to welcome you back safely and not just quickly.  Our plan consists of 4 phases.
 
Phase 1:  Tuesday, August 4th
“Ready, set go” for live in-club personal training sessions for existing and new clients.  For more information about our personal training options, click HERE.
 
Phase 2:  Monday, August 10th
We will welcome members for regular workouts (by appointment).
 
Phase 3:  Monday, August 17th
We will welcome group exercise members for live in-studio classes (modified schedule to follow).
 
Phase 4:  TBA
We will resume our regular in-studio group exercise schedule, no appointment to work out will be necessary and an increase in the number of members in the club at one time.
 
This schedule is subject to change based on member demand or changes to the provincial policies.

What Safety Protocols will be in place when eMbody Fitness reopens?
We understand that there is great uncertainty and caution as we move into Stage 3.  As a task force member of the Fitness Industry Council of Canada, we have been directly involved in shaping health and safety standards for clubs across the country.  We have exceeded the recommendations required to safely open and operate a club.  We have the advantage of not being a big box club or a class-only studio.  We have many ways to service our members inside the club and virtually with our eMbody at Home programs.  Click below to read about the extensive procedures and hospital grade health protocols we have put into place.

What will a Visit to eMbody Fitness look like?
1.  During our initial phases, eMbody will have modified hours and members will book in for 75-minute time slots up to five days in advance.  It is up to you whether you use the club for the full time!  Members with personal training sessions will be booked in by their personal trainer up to 7 days in advance.  Group exercise members will book their class and show up at their designated class time.  Click HERE for details on how to log-in to book your workout time.  Consistent with our usage patterns at this time of year and our club capacity, we do not anticipate issues around the ability to access the club at or near your desired workout time.  If you have a specific time need outside of our hours, please contact Sheila to discuss at sheilav@embodyfitnessclubs.com.  Click HERE for our temporary club hours.  Please note that key fobs will not be activated while we are on modified hours.
 
2.  Please ensure that you are wearing a mask when you get to the club.  We will invite you in and you will be welcomed by the Manager on Duty who will be behind a plexiglass screen.  After a quick application of hand sanitizer and a temperature check, you will be checked in.  We will ask you to agree to our Member Pledge confirming that you do not have any symptoms of Covid-19.  Then you will be off to enjoy your workout.   We will also have masks and gloves available for members.
 
3.  As detailed in our Safety Procedures and Protocols, we have arranged our equipment to ensure a safe distance of at least 2 metres.  Every other piece of cardio equipment will be available for use.  All strength training equipment is available.  In the functional training area, the equipment has been arranged to ensure physical distancing.  You will also find floor markers and directional arrows throughout the club.

4.  As per provincial guidance, masks must be worn when circulating through the club or when you cannot maintain a physical distance of 2 metres.  You may take your mask off when exercising. 

5.  When our group exercise classes resume, we will be phasing in our classes until we reach a full schedule.  This will depend on the demand and attendance.  We have created personal safety zones in the studio that allow for more than 2 metres per person.  The number of members per class is 8 plus the instructor.  Members will pick up their weights and other equipment as they enter the studio.  After the class is finished, equipment will be left in the zones to be sanitized by the eMbody team.

6.  Our eMbody team will be doing rigorous sanitizing of the club and equipment with our new hospital-grade disinfectants and electrostatic sprayer.  This will be done after each workout period and class.  We ask our members to also do their part by using the provided wipes to clean their equipment after each use.  Together we will ensure that our club is as clean and safe as possible.
 
7.  At the end of your workout or class, we ask that you leave through the rear exit.  We encourage you to connect and socialize outside of course at a 2 metre distance!  Leaving expeditiously will allow us ample time for cleaning. 
 
8.  What to bring and what not to bring to the club:  Please come dressed for your workout and leave large bags or purses at home.  Please bring a water bottle, towel and a yoga mat if required for a class.
