FPF REOPENING UPDATE
|
As the anticipation rises while we await the reopening date of FPF, we have a few more exciting bits of news to share with you.
We have made a few changes to improve our member's experience and safety at our club. You will learn about our updated class schedule, membership levels, membership upgrades, services that are open during phase one, and what to expect when you return to FPF. |
WHAT TO EXPECT
UNLIMITED CLASSES
While we are unsure what to expect when we reopen, we are ready for any scenario. We understand that your membership includes unlimited classes; however, we ask that you allow others to attend a class by not booking more than one class a day. If you want to book more than one class a day, give us a call, and we will check class availability. Please be aware that our class schedule could change as we await our opening date. You can view our tentative July class schedule here
TEMPORARY HOURS
We want to be sure we are doing everything possible to keep our staff and members safe. FPF will test our first week of reopening with reduced opening hours. Temporary club schedule is from 8 am to 8 pm Monday to Friday and Saturday 8 am to 12 pm. Workout booking times might be available outside opening hours as early as 6 am and the latest 10 pm. Please call the club if you wish to workout outside our temporary reopening hours and we will do our best to accommodate your schedule.
MASK
We are waiting to confirm specific requirements from our local health unit during the first phase of reopening. Until then, members will choose whether or not to wear a mask during their workouts. If you want to wear a mask, please do. If you decide not to wear a mask, please always be mindful of others around you by maintaining a 6 feet distance.
REDUCED CLASS SIZE
The group fitness room can accommodate ten members while keeping 6 feet apart. For added measures, FPF class size will be reduced to eight members to allow more space between members and group instructors. We will add additional classes to accommodate reduced class size if needed.
BEFORE YOUR CLASS
Class members are required to line-up in the designated waiting area outside the club, before class start time. The class instructor will let you know when it is safe to come in.
AFTER CLASS
Members must exit the group fitness room in the order shown by their group instructor to ensure we are practicing social distancing.
FIRST DAY RETURNING
Is it your first day to FPF after the lockdown? Please see us at the front desk before your workout. We want to ensure that the addendum to our waiver form is signed.
HAND SANITIZER
To keep our facility a safe environment to work out, We have increased the hand sanitizer station at FPF. It is required for everyone to use hand sanitizer before entering the facility.
Hand sanitizer stations are located in the vestibule (main door), another station at the mall entrance, and multiple locations throughout the gym.
ADDENDUM WAIVER & CONTRACTS
Things have changed, and so have our policies and waivers.
Contracts, waivers, and forms are updated to suit our current situation. Members are required to sign an addendum to the waivers they have already signed when they joined the gym. An Addendum to the waivers can be signed when you log into your FPF account on our mobile app or tablets will be available at the front desk for signing forms and waivers. Our front desk staff will confirm if waivers have already been signed.

FPF SAFETY CLEANING PRACTICES
FPF EXTRA SAFETY MEASURES
Now that our plan is laid out, we want to make sure you know about all of the additional health and safety precautions we’re taking at FPF!
We will allow for more time between PT sessions/Classes so we are able to clean equipment and our facility more effectively. Our new class schedule will be announced when the opening date is confirmed.
UPGRADED CLEANING SCHEDULE
Equipment will be thoroughly disinfected throughout the day after each use with hospital-grade disinfectant. This includes the regular cleaning of doorknobs, shoe cubby, front desk area, and any other surfaces or objects that are touched throughout the day. Our facility will also have a deep clean on a daily basis.
Additionally, 30 minutes of dedicated cleaning time will be set aside after every class to “reset” the club and prepare for the next workout block.
TAPING THE FLOOR
We have taped the floor in the group fitness room so you are 6 feet apart from the next person and group instructor.
INCREASED VENTILATION
We will keep the studio well ventilated by exhausting the air in the group fitness room, opening the doors when appropriate and adjusting the air conditioning as needed.
