Our goal is to keep you as well informed as possible. Please check this website page regularly for updates as we will continue to adapt with provincial and health authority guidelines.  We are in this together!

 

Your Safety Continues to be Our Priority

LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus/COVID-19. Our clinics continue to follow strict cleaning and disinfection protocols, physical distancing and personal protective measures to ensure our community stays healthy.  We thank all of our staff and members for their cooperation with these procedures to reduce the risk in our clinics.

As new case numbers rise, there may be a need for some clinics to close their doors temporarily to help reduce the spread in their communities. We have been proactively planning for such closures since the beginning of the pandemic to ensure that we can continue to provide our membership services and contribute to the health and vibrancy of our communities. In the event that a decision is made to close your location temporarily, your clinic team will deliver your exercise sessions to you via live streaming so that there is no interruption in your program.

The goal of our live streaming feature is to provide you with all of the benefits of your LIVE WELL membership:
● To keep you active and progressing in your exercises;
● To provide you with healthy lifestyle coaching;
● To keep you connected with the support of your LIVE WELL community.

We are ready to rise to this challenge with you and ensure that, in the event of a closure, your exercise sessions and program are uninterrupted so that you can continue to maintain all the health benefits you have worked so hard to achieve. Our entire LIVE WELL family is in this together.

For MEMBERS: How to be prepared 

Member pre-screening at every session

 

In order to ensure everyone’s health and safety, we are asking you to help us be prepared for each exercise session in the following ways:

1. Be symptom free.
   Please do not attend your exercise session if you are feeling unwell with any COVID-19 symptoms such as fever, dry cough, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, chest pain or pressure. If you are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms please contact your local healthcare services. 

2. Self-assessment.
   We ask that you take a few minutes to complete your contact free pre-screening access before your session start by logging into your member portal via the QR code posted on the signs outside the clinic.

Session Transitions Times

Our goal is to minimize the number of people in our clinic at any given time.  We also need some time to disinfect the clinic between sessions, we will be implementing the following measures to ensure your health and safety.

1. Arrive no more than five!
   Please arrive no more than five minutes before your registered session time. We will be keeping the doors locked between sessions to limit access and to ensure safe physical distancing between sessions. 

2. Bring only what you need.
   It is highly recommended that you bring only the essentials.  Come dressed for exercise, bring a full water bottle, and your mask to wear at all times.
   We ask that you do not use the lockers but if you need to - please follow the floor markers and access the lockers one at a time as indicated by the sign. Water filling stations will be closed. 

3. Keep your distance.
   You’ll see colorful circles on the floor as markers throughout the space to help you keep a safe physical distance from other members. 

Exercise Session Times

Session times will be structured so that we can control the flow of traffic through the clinic and to ensure physical distancing by minimizing incidental contact between session times. This time will also allow for increased disinfecting measures of the exercise space and high touch areas. 

1. Attend your registered sessions.
   Please register for and attend your sessions at the time shown in your member portal.  Any adjustments to your session time will be clearly communicated to you in advance. 

2. Move your sessions.
   You can move your sessions up to four (4) hours before it starts to a more convenient session time if you want to.

3. Wearing a Mask
   To protect our members and staff, it is important for all people at a LIVE WELL Clinic wear a mask while visiting our clinics.
