VGH Fitness & Wellness Centre

Dear VGH Wellness Centre Member,

We are pleased to announce that we have been approved to increase our session capacity from 10 to 12 members per hour! We are hoping this provides each of you greater opportunity to work out during your desired time and give you the escape you need during these difficult times. We have also increased the capacities of a few rooms throughout the gym, so be sure to keep an eye on our signage and move around more freely during your workouts.

We are happy to be taking steps towards normalcy and will continue to keep you updated as we slowly progress with new safety plans. Like always, we appreciate your patience and loyalty to our team, and we are excited to see more of your faces on a daily basis. As more information becomes available, we will be sure to let you know, and if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to one of the fitness attendants.
