On Saturday, January 16th, the Government of Ontario announced it is extending nearly all emergency orders under the Reopening Ontario Act (ROA) for an additional 30 days. The orders under the ROA, which were set to expire on January 20th, have been extended until February 19th.
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. It is our hope that we will be able to re-open the studio on Saturday, February 20th, pending the status of the lockdown. Upcoming Workshops/Clinics
Thank you for your support throughout the highs and lows of the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to reopening our doors to you as soon as it is safe to do so. As of Thursday, January 14th, the Government of Ontario enacted a stay-at-home order for at least the next 28 days. This order is meant to keep people at home to stop the spread of COVID-19. As a result, the studio will remain closed until at least February 11th.
Our full fitness class schedule will continue to be offered online via our private, members-only Facebook group. As well, our personal and group training clients will be given the option to continue working with their trainer online. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and advise of any changes which may affect our operations. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay home. As of Saturday, December 26th, we will be in the GREY-LOCKDOWN level of the provincial COVID-19 response framework until Saturday, January 23rd. 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 will still be able to offer fitness classes and training sessions in-person at the studio this week (Monday, December 21st to Wednesday, December 23rd), then we will be shut down for Christmas holidays from Thursday, December 24th to Sunday, December 27th. The changes outlined below will take effect on Monday, December 28th. Below are updates to our plans for the lockdown… Fitness Classes to be Offered ONLINE

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our community’s front-line workers for your bravery, sacrifice and steadfast compassion to protect us during this pandemic. We stand behind you 100% to help flatten the curve! As we are seeing a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in our province, we would like to remind our members of the importance of self-screening before entering the studio. Please use this picture as a guideline for self-screening each time you visit the studio and do not enter if: (1) you are experiencing symptoms; or (2) you have travelled outside of Canada in the past 14 days; or (3) you have had close contact with a confirmed or probable case of COVID-19. (Please note this sign is posted in the building hallway and at the back door of the studio for ease of reference.)
Thank you so much for your cooperation in keeping Inspired by Fitness a safe and healthy environment for all of us to enjoy during these trying times! We are honoured to support Wellspring Stratford’s fundraiser, “Light Up Wellspring”. We are collecting donations and candle dedications on their behalf at the studio. Tis the season of giving, and this is a special way to give back to the members of our community who are in need.

As of Monday, November 23rd, Huron Perth Public Health Unit region will be in the ORANGE-RESTRICT level of the provincial COVID-19 response framework in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
We have modified our studio operations slightly to accommodate this level. Class size will be reduced to 9 participants per class (with the exception of Yoga and Spin which are reduced to 8 participants per class). Personal workout spaces are clearly marked on the classroom floor which adhere to the 3-metre physical distancing standards. We would like to remind our community that all safety protocols must continue to be followed including masks worn at all times except when participating in a fitness class/training session, compliance with physical distancing practices, hand sanitization, assigned personal workout spaces that observe 3 metres of distance between members, mandatory sign-up on WellnessLiving and self-screening before entry. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and advise of any changes which may affect our operations. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding! As of Monday, November 16th, Huron Perth Public Health Unit region will be in the YELLOW-PROTECT level of the provincial COVID-19 response framework in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
All of our current studio operations meet the requirements of this level and no changes will be needed. We would like to remind our community that all safety protocols must continue to be followed including masks worn at all times except when participating in a fitness class/training session, compliance with physical distancing practices, hand sanitization, assigned personal workout spaces that observe three metres of distance between members and mandatory sign-up on WellnessLiving. For our full COVID-19 response, please click here. At Inspired by Fitness, we are committed to keeping the community safe while continuing to serve the physical and mental well-being of our members. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at info@inspiredbyfitness.ca. At Inspired by Fitness, we are delighted to continue offering our Inspired community the best group fitness classes in Stratford. We have over 120 classes available every month which means more than enough classes to accommodate all of our members!
In order to ensure the best level of instruction for each member while maintaining our health and safety protocols, we limit our classes to 10 participants and encourage members to sign up in advance via WellnessLiving. If you choose to sign up for a class that is already full, you will have the opportunity to add your name to the waitlist. Waitlists allow members to wait for an available spot in a fully booked class. If a member cancels their booked class, the spot is opened up to the member who has been on the waitlist the longest. Keep in mind that waitlists move quickly; therefore, waitlisted members often get bumped into class. Keep these tips in mind…
Special notes for pass holders…
Do not fret if you are on a waitlist. We have many other classes and many other times to work out. And who knows? You just may find a new favourite class you wouldn’t have ordinarily signed up for! |
