Testimonial for Indigo:
Indigo is that sweet pain that somehow leaves you feeling oh so good. They tailor the workout to your needs while gently and persistently encouraging you to face your fears and rise to new levels. Soon you’ll be doing things you thought were out of your reach. Overtime they are very attentive to your progress so that they know when to up the ante. They're the good and safe push you need to see results.

I have been training with Garrett every week for the last three years. He is a great personal trainer. He designs fun workouts for me to match my fitness goals and explains the exercises and proper techniques really well.

Personal Training Policies & Procedures
A Trainer will contact you within 48 hours (Monday-Friday inclusive). Upon contact they will book the first session with you.
Personal Training Session Protocols:
- All clients will meet their trainer in the Fitness Centre.
LATE POLICY: Clients are responsible for arriving on-time to their training sessions. Trainers are obligated to wait only 15 minutes (10 minutes for 30-minute sessions). After that time, the session is either forfeited (session is lost) or the trainer may complete the time left. In this case, the session will be recorded as a full session.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Should a client need to cancel, clients are asked to contact their trainer 24 hours in advance of the scheduled training session to avoid forfeiting a session. If the notice is less than 24 hours, the client will be charged and therefore a session forfeited. Failure to contact your trainer will also result in the client forfeiting a session. In an emergency, it is up to the discretion of the trainer as to whether a session charge is appropriate.
PACKAGE EXPIRATION/REFUND POLICY: Individuals registering for personal training must complete all personal training sessions by the expiration date of the training package. Expiries are calculated from the date of purchase.
Packages and subsequent expiry time frames:
- 3 session package - 1 month
- 6 and 11 session packages - 6 months
- 26 session packages - 1 year
** Any extensions must be requested to the trainer and will be assessed/approved on a case-by-case basis.
All packages are non-refundable/non-transferable after the 10-day cooling off period (refunds prior to the 10-day cooling off period will be prorated for sessions that have already taken place).
