Show-up to the class ten or fifteen minutes early, dressed appropriately and equipped with water, a towel and anything else you'd need for your class (such as a yoga mat).

Let the instructor know it's your first time attending; he or she will help you set up and feel comfortable. They will also keep an eye out for you, and assist if you seem lost or at all confused.

If you prefer, we often offer orientations or "launch" classes, which are designed to help get new people up-to-speed. Email us if you'd like to know when the next Launch Classes are!

They can also take Personal Training sessions. A minimum of two sessions will grant them access to the Fitness Centre.

Finally, Teens who already workout as part of their athletic training can take a Wellness Assessment in order to be cleared for using the Fitness Centre.
