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.
• Face coverings are required to enter & exit the Fitness Centre.
• Masks may only be removed when physical activity starts and must be put back on as soon as the activity ends.
• Face coverings must be worn for initial consultation.
• Personal trainers will wear a face covering while in session and will maintain physical distancing when possible.

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.
