Dear Member

As we continue to comply with the Provincial and Municipal Health and Safety Orders and Guidelines, EFFECTIVE SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24th, 2021, proof of FULL vaccination will be required prior to entering our facilities, as mandated by the B.C., Health Authority. For the safety of our members and staff, all existing Covid-19 safety protocols will remain in place regarding cleaning and sanitization, maintaining a physical distance of 6′ or more, and wearing of masks while not actively exercising.

Vaccination Passport Verification:

In compliance with the Public Health Order for Vaccine Passports, customers of non-essential businesses will be required to show proof of FULL vaccination status (two doses of vaccine) along with a government issued photo ID by Sunday, October 24th.

If you currently have provided proof of only ONE vaccination (partially vaccinated), you will be required to update your member profile and provide proof of your FULL vaccination. When you enter the club, please show your Vaccination Passport to our front desk associate so they can verify and update your member profile. If you currently only have one dose, you will be required to update your vaccination status as soon as you receive your second dose (by October 24th) to gain access into any of our Gold’s Gym B.C. facilities. If you have been attending our clubs and have already provided proof of FULL vaccination, no further action will be required.

It is your choice to update your member profile so that you will not be required to show your Vaccination Passport each time you visit our facilities.  If you choose NOT to have your membership profile updated, you will be required to show your Vaccination Passport EACH TIME you visit any of our clubs to gain access.  For your privacy, once the Public Health Order for Vaccination Passports is rescinded, all records of vaccination will be completely deleted and removed from our membership database so no vaccination records will be retained on our systems.

Thank you for being such incredible members, for continuing to support us and our entire Gold’s Gym community throughout the changing Public Health Orders.  For any additional questions you may have regarding this member update, please contact membersupport@goldsgymbc.ca.

Thank You and Stay Strong!

Dear Valued Member,

Gold’s Gym BC has and always will make your health and safety a priority. We have exceeded workplace and local public health guidelines. Including enforcement of the mask mandate, proper physical distancing, increased spacing between equipment, reduced club capacity, use of an electrostatic disinfectant sprayer on high-touch areas and surfaces, providing members with individual use disinfectant spray to clean equipment before and after use.

Despite our significant efforts, we have received a notification that there were individuals who attended our Langley location that tested positive for COVID-19.

As a precautionary measure, and for the safety of our staff and members, we will be closing our Langley location for the next ten (10) days beginning Wednesday, May 26th and ending Saturday, June 5th. 

We will reopen our facility on Sunday, June 6th at 7:00am.

This will allow us to conduct an extensive deep clean of the entire facility ensuring a safe return for our members and staff when we reopen.  For all multi-club members, you will have access to our other Gold’s Gym BC locations. We will provide a complimentary extension to all memberships for a period of 10 days – added to the end of your membership term.  For members who have scheduled personal training sessions during the closure dates, you will be contacted to reschedule your training sessions.

Members are advised to continue to follow COVID-19 guidelines. Self-monitor for symptoms, if you start to develop symptoms of COVID-19, isolate yourself from others and contact your health care provider or Local Public Health Authority. For more information please visit: Public Health Agency of Canada.

We will continue to work directly with local Public Health authorities and will provide further information and updates.  We thank you for your understanding and continued support during this time.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to membersupport@goldsgymbc.ca

Sincerely,

The B.C. Health Authority has advocated that wearing a mask significantly reduces the spread and transmission of Covid-19. By complying with this new protocol, we add another layer of protection for everyone who attends our fitness clubs.

We are continuing our commitment to provide our members with the safest fitness environment possible through our current policies listed here:

1) A reservation system for booking workout sessions (for accurate contact tracing purposes)

2) Limiting the number of members per workout session (varies per club but no more than 30% of maximum occupancy loads, well below the 50% allowable)

3) Member pre-screening before entry into the club (temperature check and Covid exposure questions)

4) Providing individual spray bottles to each member for safe cleaning of equipment before and after use (eliminating the use of shared communal spray bottles)

5) Maintaining physical distancing of a minimum six (6) feet between staff and other members when in the club

6) Thorough club cleaning and disinfecting of all high touch surfaces AFTER EVERY workout session and group exercise class (including but not limited to changerooms, floors, spray bottles, weights, cardio equipment, equipment attachments, functional turf areas, etc.)

7) Staff wearing masks and gloves at all times.

8) Members will be required to wear a mask at all times in our facilities unless actively working out. This includes any movement around the facility and any time between equipment.

We are all in this together! At a time when further Provincial restrictions may be enforced, we are working to remain open for the physical and mental well-being of our members. Let us all do our part to keep our Gold’s Gym community as safe as possible during these challenging times.

Thank you in advance for understanding and adhering to the new policy.

Gold’s Gym British Columbia

Dear Valued Members of Gold’s Gym B.C.,

First and foremost, thank you for your support!  We have done everything possible to keep our clubs open, providing a clean and safe environment for you to enjoy, as your health and safety have been our top priority throughout this global pandemic.  However, today the B.C. Health Authority has announced a new mandate ordering all fitness centres to close as of December 23^rd, 2021 until January 18^th, 2022, in efforts to reduce the transmission of the new Covid-19 Omicron variant.

We will be open regular club hours Wednesday, December 22^nd, however, in compliance with the new Health Order our Gold’s Gym B.C. locations in Langley, West Broadway, UMP, and Port Coquitlam will be temporarily closed effective Thursday, December 23^rd to January 17^th, 2022.  We will reopen on Tuesday, January 18^th, 2022.

We have had an overwhelming number of our members express their support as well as their concerns. We know that fitness and exercise are vital to everyone, and we hope that you can remain active for the duration the closure order is in effect, as we know how beneficial exercise is for everyone’s mental and physical well-being.

During this closure period, we will be suspending all members’ dues payments.  Our payment processing partner, ABC Financial will take three (3) business days to process the holds on all membership accounts so if you do see a charge processed after December 22^nd, the charge will be reversed and credited back to the method of payment that we have on file for your membership account.  The expiry dates for all memberships will be adjusted for the duration of the temporary closure so this will prevent the loss of any membership duration for members who have pre-paid their memberships in full.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding during this trying time. Please stay informed about what you can do to keep yourself and your families safe during these times.   For more information on the latest provincial Covid-19 related restrictions and updates, please visit https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/covid-19/info/restrictions.

Please visit our website, https://goldsgymbc.ca/covid-policies, for the most recent Gold’s Gym British Columbia updates.  If you have any questions, please email us at membersupport@goldsgymbc.ca and we will answer your questions as quickly as possible.

We look forward to reopening our clubs and having our Gold’s Gym family back at our facilities as soon we are able.  Take care of yourselves over the holiday season!

Sincerely,
Gold’s Gym B.C.

Gold’s Gym BC – Member Update

Provincial Health Order

Dear Valued Gold’s Gym BC members,

In compliance with the Provincial Health order made today by Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix, we will be suspending ALL group fitness classes at all Gold’s Gym BC facilites. This includes indoor cycling, yoga, dance and all other Group Fitness classes. The order is in effect for 2 (two) weeks starting November 7, 2020 at 10pm to midnight on November 23, 2020.

We are pleased to announce that we will remain OPEN for regular Workout Sessions and Private Personal Training Sessions.

Our Covid-safety protocols will remain in place and enforced. This includes reserving time slots, pre-screening staff and members, cleaning of equipment before and after use, maintaining social distancing within our facilities and full club cleanings between each workout session.  We will also continue to monitor staff with a daily health check upon their arrival for each shift.

We also ask that you do not come to the Club for any reason if you feel unwell, are experiencing any symptoms, are awaiting results of a COVID-19 test, or have recently travelled. As an additional precaution, we strongly encourage all individuals wear a mask when circulating in common areas of the Club. Within our Clubs, masks and gloves are still mandatory for all staff.

We will work closely with the Public Health Authority to submit a revised Group Exercise Covid Safety Plan for review. Once approved we would resume delivering our Group Fitness Programming for our members. We will continue to provide member updates based on any new Public Health Authority orders or changes to orders already imposed.

We also want to say ” Thank You” to all Gold’s Gym B.C. members and staff for adhering to our covid protocols and policies since our reopening. We are incredibly proud to have members and staff who genuinely care for one another’s health and safety! Through everyone’s consistent efforts, we will continue to provide the safest fitness environment!

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this announcement, please email us at membersupport@goldsgymbc.ca. It will be our pleasure to assist you.

Thank you.
Gold’s Gym British Columbia

Gold’s Gym BC – Member Update

Phase 3

Dear Members

First, we want to thank you for your tremendous support from the time we reopened our facilities at the beginning of June. We appreciate your understanding and continued cooperation, complying with our Covid-19 protocols that remain in place for the safety of all members and staff. For those members who replied to our member survey, we thank you for your valuable input! We have compiled the survey responses and have taken your suggestions and feedback to heart.

Due to the increase in Covid-19 cases in B.C., we were not able to accommodate all of your recommendations, but we have done our best to implement as many as possible without compromising the safety and health of our members and staff as maintaining a safe workout environment remains our highest priority. All aspects from Phase 1 and 2 will remain in place regarding sanitization and physical distancing guidelines to ensure the safety of our Members and Staff as we follow strict Provincial and Municipal Guidelines.

MEMBER AND STAFF REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL PHASES                                          
Staff will continue to abide by Gold’s Gym Restart Plan Protocols and Guidelines regarding all safety and health precautions before, during, and after their scheduled shift(s). Members must adhere to Provincial and local Municipal Guidelines as well as Gold’s Gym British Columbia’s Code of Conduct and Club Policies (Please go to www.goldsgymbc.ca and select “CLUB PROTOCOLS” for more detailed information and to familiarize yourself with our additional club policies due to Covid-19).

The following changes will be made on Monday, September 14th, 2020:  

1) Our current reservation system will remain in effect, and Club Capacity
limits will remain the same, based on the size of each individual club:

1.   a)  University Marketplace, Vancouver = 30 members maximum per time slot           
     b)  West Broadway, Vancouver = 60 members maximum per time slot
       c)  Port Coquitlam = 75 members maximum per time slot
       d)  Langley = 75 members maximum per time slot

A reservation guarantees a spot for that session. Members who don’t reserve will be allowed entry ONLY IF there is available space for that session. Reservations can be booked exactly seventy-two (72) hours in advance of a workout session OR group exercise class session. ONLY ONE (1) WORKOUT SESSION OR CLASS RESERVATION, PER MEMBER, PER DAY is permitted! Members are NOT permitted to reserve BOTH on the same day. Members must choose one or the other, and due to capacity limitations, you cannot book a Group Fitness class session and then use the main workout facility in lieu of attending the class. If a member books both in one day, reserves more than one (1) session per day and/ or books a Group Fitness class session but instead use the main workout facility and does not attend the class, the member will be restricted from reserving ANY session for one (1) week from the date of the infraction. Once members successfully reserve a workout session, the member will receive a 24-hour email confirmation and a two (2) hour text message confirmation prior to the booked session time.

Members will still be charged ($10 + GST) if they “NO SHOW” for their booked session. If you cannot make your session time, please cancel your session as soon as possible so other members can book for that time slot. Cancellation for a reserved session time remains at a minimum two (2) hours prior to the workout session start time. If a member does not show up 15 minutes into their reserved session time and has not cancelled within the minimum two (2) hour cancellation notice period, the member will be considered a “NO SHOW”, be charged a $10 fee, and their reservation spot will be forfeited. We will allow other members who are waiting to take that spot for that session time.

2) Member walk-ins will be permitted, but be limited to available
space based on Club capacity:

1. a) If there is available space (for example: only 55 out of 75 sessions are reserved), a member who does not have a reservation may take a spot immediately and will not be required to wait 15 minutes before being able to check-in for that session. The member can book a reservation on the spot for the session. The member MUST still make a reservation on com for contact tracing purposes.
2. b) If the session is full, signage will indicate where walk-ins are to line up. If there are no available spots, the Member is permitted to wait in the approved waiting area outside of the Club to wait for a spot to become available. As Members leave the Club, waiting Members will be permitted access to the club on a one-in-one-out basis, as long as they intend to use the same area as the departing Member. These Members must be checked in, register themselves on com AND agree to leave the Club at the end of the Member use period, regardless of the Club entry time.
3. c) Back-to-Back workout sessions will be permitted ONLY IF CLUB CAPACITY ALLOWS: Members are permitted to reserve ONLY ONE (1) workout or GGX class session per day (not one of each) however if the member would like to attend the following session, they are welcome to join the next session if the next session IS NOT at full capacity. The member will still be required to exit the facility at the end of their first session and repeat the check-in process again to attend the second session. The member MUST reserve the session on com for the second session for contact tracing purposes. If the session is full, please reference 2b) above and follow the procedure.

3) Masks and Face Coverings: It is not mandatory for members to wear their masks while actively engaging in rigorous exercise, including Personal Training Sessions and Group Fitness Classes, however for the safety of all, we ask that all members please wear a mask as much as possible inside the Club and maintain a 2-metre distance from others in the facility. We recommend that members carry their mask with them at all times and ask that members wear a mask when entering and exiting the Club, to and from the change room, while in the changeroom/ washroom area, while taking a tour, waiting for a class etc. Our goal is to minimize potential exposures within our facilities.

Monday, January 17th, 2022
To our Gold’s Gym BC Family,

We thank everyone for your patience as we try and navigate through this uncertain time with very little information being provided to our industry from Provincial Health regarding the reopening of our fitness facilities. We know many of you are anxiously waiting to come back and workout at our clubs and we are also anxiously waiting to reopen for you!

We wanted to send out this brief update letting you know we are still very active and working hard to not only get the approval to reopen, but also to have fitness centres be designated an essential service. So, in the future we won’t be faced with shutdowns, allowing fitness centres to remain open for the benefit of everyone’s mental and physical health, especially during this pandemic.

The most recent update we have received to date is the revised Order from the Provincial Health Authority, which was issued today, Monday, January 17th, 2022, which extends the Order from the original expiry of 12:01am, January 18th, 2022. The new Order has no expiry date, but we are expecting details during tomorrow’s announcement (Tuesday, January 18th, 2022) at 1:30pm to provide further clarity on this issue.

What this means is that we will NOT be reopening tomorrow, but we are still preparing to re-open our facilities on Wednesday, January 19th, 2022. We will provide final confirmation in a follow up message tomorrow, once the Provincial Health announcement has concluded.

We have done everything that Provincial Health has asked of us, followed every guideline, stipulation, regulation, and protocol. We know and sympathize with everyone about the constant state of confusion created by Provincial Health not fully communicating with us and our industry. We appreciate your continued support, understanding our situation, knowing we want to reopen safely and legally.

We will keep everyone informed as soon as we receive any new information provided by the BC Health Authority. Please expect a more extensive announcement from us tomorrow afternoon when we will be better equipped with the information provided by Provincial Health to welcome everyone back into our fitness communities!

Stay safe, stay health, and stay positive.
Thank you.

Yours in Health,
Andrew Uy
Vice-President

(less than the maximum allowable for the club you are attending)

• If you arrive and the club is at its maximum capacity, signage will indicate where you are to line up (socially distanced). You will be permitted to wait in the socially distanced waiting area until space becomes available. As Members leave the Club, Members waiting in line will be permitted entry on a one-out, one-in basis. Covid-19 check-in procedure and protocols will still apply.

6. Spotting and Super Setting Permitted:

We will allow members to “Spot” other members, but masks must be worn by both participants (the member performing the exercise and the spotter) while spotting.  When super setting, the member must disinfect the equipment in between each set performed so if another member uses the same equipment in between the super sets, it has been properly sanitized.

Dear Member

Following the reopening of three (3) of our Gold’s Gym B.C.’s fitness clubs, we wanted to update you on the progress of our “Three-Phase Restart Plan”.  First, we want to thank all of you for your understanding and patience as our online reservation system has had its share of technical glitches and challenges.  You helped us to identify booking issues for which we have found and implemented solutions. We took your suggestions and comments to heart and we are extremely thankful for your feedback.  That said, effective immediately we have made the following changes to our online reservation system:

1)  Upgrades to the myiclubonline.com reservation system which will reduce booking errors;

2)  Wait List options being completely removed from myiclubonline.com and now any timeslots showing available workout sessions can be booked on a first-come, first-served basis.

On Monday, July 06, 2020, the following changes will take effect:

3)  Increased capacity for each workout time slot, based on overall facility size:

a)University Marketplace, Vancouver = 30 members maximum per time slot

1. b) West Broadway, Vancouver = 60 members maximum per time slot
2. c) Port Coquitlam = 75 members maximum per time slot
3. d)  Langley = 75 members maximum per time slot

4)  Adding a 5:00 am weekday early morning workout session time slot and 7:00 am weekend morning session time slot for ALL clubs.

GOLD’S GYM UNIVERSITY MARKETPLACE RE-OPENING ANNOUNCEMENT:
