Last week, the Ontario government announced a mandatory requirement for people to be fully vaccinated and provide proof of their vaccination status to access certain businesses and settings. This approach focuses on higher-risk indoor public settings where face coverings cannot always be worn, and as such, Inspired by Fitness will be impacted.
As of Wednesday, September 22, 2021, Inspired members will need to be fully vaccinated (two doses plus 14 days) and provide proof of vaccination along with photo ID (ie., driver’s license, health card or passport) to participate in in-person fitness classes and training sessions at the studio. We kindly ask that you bring your proof of vaccination and photo ID every time you come to the studio. Inspired staff will visually verify the documents before entry into the studio and will add you to a manual tracking system. While you will not have to show your proof of vaccination and photo ID after you have been added to our manual tracking system, we feel it is important for everyone entering the studio to always have this information readily available in the event of by-law enforcement. The government will introduce an enhanced digital vaccine receipt and verification app later this Fall which will make this process easier and more convenient, while protecting your privacy. If you need to obtain a copy of your proof of vaccination, please follow this link. Please note individuals who cannot receive the vaccine due to medical exemptions will be permitted entry with a doctor’s note and photo ID until recognized medical exemptions can be integrated as part of a digital vaccine certificate. This information will be added to our manual tracking system; however, your doctor’s note and photo ID would need to be brought every time you come to the studio. Please also note that proof of a negative COVID-19 test or a recent infection will not replace the vaccine certificates. If you are unable to join us at the studio for in-person classes, remember that you can always join us virtually. All fitness classes are available to members through our private, members-only Facebook group. This is a great way to stay in shape while keeping connected to our community. We remain supportive of the government’s decisions and will always do what it takes to keep our members safe and healthy. Thank you for your continued patience and support. Ready for your first time?

We were thrilled to learn that Ontario will move to Step 3 of the Roadmap to Reopen on July 16th. This means that we will finally be able to reopen the studio to in-person fitness classes.
We are excited to announce that Inspired by Fitness will reopen on Monday, July 19th to all in-person fitness classes! Upon reopening, we will continue with our hybrid model offering our fitness classes both In-Studio and Virtual. Since the fitness industry has been transformed completely due to the pandemic, this hybrid model has proven to be extremely important to our diverse membership base.

In-Studio Do you desire the sense of community and team that in-studio group fitness classes offer? Make sure to follow the guidelines below.

Notice re: Class Changes
We have sincerely appreciated the continued patience and support from our members as we navigated through another lockdown, and we can’t wait to welcome you safely back to the studio on July 19th. Don’t forget to book your classes on WellnessLiving to secure a spot in class! We’ve had a few days to digest the news from the government last week regarding the province’s reopening plan and how it will continue to impact in-person fitness classes and training sessions at the studio.
Our immediate plan, in accordance with current provincial rules and public health measures under the province-wide emergency brake, is to stay the course with online fitness classes being offered via our private, members-only Facebook group and virtual personal/group training sessions. With a focus on the health and safety of our members and staff shaping our decisions, we will not resume in-person fitness classes and training sessions until it is safe to do so. Therefore, we have made the decision to remain online until Step 3 of the Roadmap to Reopen. We anticipate that in-studio fitness classes and training sessions may resume on or around July 25th. Thank you for your continued support and patience while we continue to adapt our operations to meet both the health needs of our members and the provincial rules and public health measures. Today’s announcement from the government has indicated that Ontario’s declaration of emergency and province-wide stay-at-home order will be extended once again until at least June 2nd.
We will continue to stay the course with online fitness classes being offered via our private, members-only Facebook group and virtual personal/group training sessions. We will monitor the situation closely and will advise when we will be able to resume in-studio operations as soon as we are able to. It’s been a long few months without our beloved in-studio classes! We’ve missed your smiling faces, we’ve missed the camaraderie and we’ve missed the workouts. We cannot wait to get back to the studio in-person again! Thank you all so much for your continued support. Today’s announcement from the government has indicated that Ontario’s state of emergency and stay-at-home order will now be in effect until at least May 20th.
Considering this news, our operations will remain online with fitness classes being offered via our private, members-only Facebook group and virtual personal/group training sessions. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will advise when we will be able to resume in-studio operations as soon as we are able to. Upcoming Workshops/Clinics
We are so pleased that Inspired by Fitness has persevered through these uncertain times. Having to adapt to the times has created a new Inspired community, and we are so proud of our dedicated members who have stayed committed to taking online classes despite the challenges we’ve faced. We know it hasn’t been easy, but we want you to take a moment to celebrate your efforts and accomplishments. We will continue to safely support your health and wellness through online fitness until we can all be together again in the studio. As of Saturday, April 3rd, we will once again be in the GREY-LOCKDOWN level of the provincial COVID-19 response framework for at least four weeks. As a result, we will not be able to offer any of our in-person services (ie., fitness classes, training sessions, appointments, workshops, etc.) during this time.
We had already planned a studio closure for the Easter weekend, so the changes outlined below will take effect on Monday, April 5th. Below are updates to our plans for the lockdown… Fitness Classes to be Offered ONLINE
Memberships/Passes
Personal/Group Training
Upcoming Workshops/Programs/Clinics/Events
We know this lockdown is necessary to stop the explosive growth of the variants of concern, and we fully support our government’s decision to implement the province-wide emergency brake. These are challenging times, and we will continue to do our best to keep you strong, fit and healthy! As of February 16th, Huron Perth Public Health region will be in the ORANGE-RESTRICT level of the provincial COVID-19 response framework. This means that we will be able to reopen the studio to in-person fitness classes and training sessions.
We are thrilled to announce that Inspired by Fitness will reopen on Monday, February 22nd to all in-person fitness classes and training sessions. We will use next week to undergo one last deep clean of the studio to prepare it all for your return on the 22nd. Since we realize that our members require flexibility now more than ever, we have decided to offer our fitness classes in two ways upon reopening: In-Studio and Virtual. This hybrid model will accommodate the shift in mindset and behaviour this pandemic has presented, as well as offer a new level of convenience and flexibility some members may prefer. And since the recent lockdown has pivoted the fitness landscape, our intention is to offer this model for the duration of the pandemic. In-Studio Are you chomping at the bit to get back to the studio for in-person classes? Make sure to follow these guidelines below. In-studio classes are available to members and pass holders.
Virtual If you aren’t ready to come back to the studio just yet, we understand. We are excited to offer our amazing fitness classes virtually! Virtual classes are available only to members.
Protecting the health of our staff and the wider Inspired community remains our top priority, and we are proud of the measures we have already put in place to ensure the safety of everyone who comes to the studio. To support the safe return of staff and members to our studio, we will continue to strictly follow our safety measures. These measures include:
It is important to recognize that public health information and provincial orders can change quickly, especially with the introduction of the “emergency brake system”. We will do everything we can to update our operations as quickly as possible to accommodate these changes. We remain committed to keeping our Inspired community safe while continuing to serve the physical and mental well-being of our members.
