Reopening Update

Functional Performance Fitness reopening it's doors on Monday July 20th, 2020. We are so EXCITED! We look forward to welcoming our FPF family and new members too. We want to thank you for your patience and your understanding over the last few months. We will do anything possible to make sure your returning experience is a safe and healthy one.

We want to share our exact plans for reopening our club. We are positive that all of the measures we have put in place will help get you back to your workout routine safely. See our reopening plans below.
What to Expect >>

What to Expect

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.

GROUP CLASSES
To ensure everyone has a chance to get in a class, Members are allowed to book only one class per day included in our gym membership. Our specialty class members will also be allowed to book one specialty class a day until further notice. If space is available our specialty class members can book a second class per day here

UNLIMITED CLASSES
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. You can view our tentative August class schedule here

TEMPORARY HOURS
We want to be sure we are doing everything possible to keep our staff and members safe. Temporary club schedule is from 8 am to 8 pm Monday to Friday and Saturday 8 am to 12 pm. (Workout booking times can 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.) ???Did we need this anymore???

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.
Procedures >>

Procedures

ARRIVING AT THE CLUB
Class members are required to line-up outside the club, in the designated waiting area, prior to the booking start time. Signage will indicate the physical distancing requirements and indicate how Members should be organized. Waiting area (at the front desk) will be limited upon entry to two persons at a time to ensure social distancing. We ask to yield to the incoming or outgoing members.

MASKS
Our group instructors and staff will be wearing masks while they are at the studio as long as it is necessary. Personal trainers are required to wear masks whenever possible and will not be permitted to come into contact with clients unless it's needed to prevent injury. If you’d like to wear one, please do.  

AFTER YOUR WORKOUT
Members must leave the club at the end of their workouts and are not allowed to stand at the front desk area. If a member is waiting on another member, we kindly ask to wait outside.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Addition to the robust standards we are implementing, we are also providing two other options to accommodate our PT clients such as remote personal training and virtual sessions. Members who are not ready to return to the club, we understand and we will offer another free two weeks temporary membership hold after the announced date of reopening.

A REMINDER
We are unable to process any changes to memberships, specialty packages, or personal training contracts before we actually open. We ask our members to be patient with us during this time.
Member Prevention >>

Member Prevention

UPDATED PROGRAMMING
We’ve updated our workout programming so you will be able to work out in your own dedicated space, and will not have to share equipment during your workout. Foam rollers, bands and mats will only be available upon request at the front desk and must be cleaned before and after each use. 

PROTECTIVE BARRIERS
Protective barriers have been installed at the front desk and in the consultation room to protect you and our staff. 

SHOE TRAYS
Shoe trays are available for your shoes and/or belongings. There will be a tray drop off after each use for cleaning before the next use.

SPRAY BOTTLES
Spray bottles will be strategically placed throughout the club. Members will be required to wipe down their equipment BEFORE and AFTER each use. To make this convenient for you, additional spray bottles will be made available for each member to use during their workout in the main gym area for the duration of their workout. Members will be shown a drop off location for spray bottles to be wiped down for the next use.

WIPES
Health Canada Registered wipes alcohol-free will be available throughout the club.

HAND-SANITIZER
Additional hand sanitizer is placed in every location of the club, including a station in the vestibule. Members are required to use hand sanitizer upon entering the facility.

AMENITIES
There will be no hot yoga, showers, saunas, towel service, hairdryers, or childminding available until further notice.

LOCKERS
To reduce the number of potential touchpoints, lockers also will not be available until further notice. The shoe cubbies are available at the front entrance for your belongings. Please remember to take all your belongings home with you.

WASHROOMS
Washrooms will remain open for the use of washing hands, etc.

WATER DISPENSER
Water dispenser will be available for bottle filling, and members are required to wipe down touched surface before and after use.

Frequently Asked Questions >>

Frequently Asked Questions

WHEN WILL CLASSES BE AVAILABLE FOR BOOKING?
Classes that are included in our gym memberships are now available for booking through our FPF app. As for our specialty classes, unfortunately we are unable to make these classes available to book on our app until the mask suspension is lifted on Monday. If you are a specialty member, please send us an email and we will manually add you to your preferred specialty classes for the first week of reopening. We will accommodate 8 members at a time in our group fitness room except our outside 6 am boot camp and cardio Fit. 
WILL THE CLASS SCHEDULE BE THE SAME AS BEFORE?
Group Fitness class will remain the same with a few additional classes added to the class schedule. Classes will be modified to make sure we are running classes with a high level of safety, while giving our FPF members a great experience. Our group fitness classes will allow us to promote physical distancing and take into account the exertion level of participants to reduce exposure to members and Instructors in the group fitness studio or classes that are being temporarily held outside. Some class times will remain the same while others have been changed to allow time in between classes for cleaning. Our class schedule is now available on our website and our mobile app. 
WILL YOU BE OFFERING ANY OUTDOOR CLASSES?
Yes, most of our classes are outdoor like BootCamp, Cardio Fit, Kickboxing, Yoga, Tabata, Core & Cardio Blast (I change that) are those of higher volume and intensity will be held outside on the lawn in front of FPF parking lot. If you are attending any of those classes we recommend that you bring your own mat for your comfort when and if needed.
WILL I NEED TO BOOK A TIME SLOT FOR MY WORKOUT IN THE GENERAL GYM AREA?
Like all fitness clubs, Functional Performance Fitness is allowed to have no more than 50 people inside at the same time. For the past couple of years before the pandemic, FPF has never had 50 people working out in the facility at the same time so it is not a concern at this time. FPF members are not required to book for the general workout area at this time, and we will not be limiting the length of your workout. 
WHICH CARDIO MACHINE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR USE?
All of our cardio machines will be available except for the rowing machines. The rowing machines have a fan on them that has the ability to move around bacteria, dirt/dust and for this reason, rowing machines will temporarily be unavailable. We have taped off every second cardio machine as well to allow physical distancing during workouts.
WHEN WILL FPF REOPENS TEMPORARY CLOSED AMENITIES AND SERVICES?
We will reopen amenities and services when it is safe to do so. We are following guidelines and recommendations of our local health unit, as well as monitoring all provincial and federal health guidelines to ensure FPF club is safe for all our Members and staff.
DO MEMBERS NEED TO WEAR A MASK INSIDE THE CLUB?
We ask that Members wear a mask when going in and out of the Club, to and from the change room, while in the washroom area, while talking to anyone etc. We recommend that Members carry their masks with them at all times but we do not expect Members to wear their masks while actively exercising, including personal training sessions and group fitness classes. If our members feel more comfortable in wearing a mask during their training, they are welcome to do so.  
DESPITE ALL THE SAFETY MEASURES YOU HAVE PUT IN PLACE, I STILL DON'T FEEL READY TO RETURN TO THE GYM. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
People join the gym because of the high level of motivation to keep them feeling healthy, reduced stress, and to keep them physically and mentally strong. Even with all the measures we have in place and the incredible investments to keep our members and associate safe, we recognize that these are challenging times and that everyone’s personal situations are different. If you aren’t ready to come back, FPF will extend your membership for two (2) weeks after our reopening date. If your situation is different and you require more time, an additional 4 weeks will be added on a case by case basis until September 1st. Any hold after that will be charged a suspension fee. 
Safety Cleaning Practices >>

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.
