Thank you for your patience waiting for information about our gym re-opening. We are governed by the the Department of Public Health guidelines. The first phase for opening requires staff to be in place. We explored the possibility of opening with reduced hours and hiring a summer student but financially we are unable to do that. When the second phase is approved we should be able to open unstaffed with some modifications. Updates will be posted as the situation changes.
