Great News!
The Fitness Centre is getting a makeover with new lighting, flooring, layout, and fitness equipment.
Renovations will begin Friday June 29, and consist of two phases over a total of ten weeks in the summer. In the first phase, we will be closing the two stairwells and the upstairs fitness centre for the first five weeks.
All cardio equipment will be relocated to the air conditioned tennis court #3. TV’s will be installed for all cardio users. We will also be closing the Pilates area (relocating the six reformers onto court #3 as well) and the lifting room. One lifting squat station will be reassembled in the weight room, providing two stations during the reno period. Access to court #3 will be via the tennis and squash hallways on either side of the court.
The second phase will see the weight room closed (spinning will be down for seven days as the new spin room will have been completed in the first phase, however bikes need to be modified before moving them in). Benches and weights from the weight room will then be moved onto court #3 (total two days downtime) for the remaining five weeks while weight room work is completed..
There will be four to six days over the summer where either cardio or weights will not be available for use as we move equipment. These days won't happen all at once, but rather two days at a time. The first closure will occur on July 3rd and 4th, Tuesday and Wednesday, as we move and set up the upstairs equipment on tennis court #3. We will notify all members as we get closer to the date of any closures for the second phase on renos.
What the makeover renovation will consist of is as follows:
Moving the existing Spinning room into the lifting and Pilates area (we will remove the Pilastes/Lifting room partition wall and install a new partition wall for a corridor walkway into the Sport court area. Bench and shoe cubbies will be available in the hallway for the spinners. New lighting, acoustic paneling, built in ceiling fans, Virtual Spinning, and dedicated HVAC system will add to current experience.- The Pilates Reformers will be moved to Studio II (during the reno they will be on tennis court #3 along with other fitness equipment) as this area will be the new dedicated reformer area along with Yoga and Karate
- The new weight room area will be one large open area with the spinning room removed, featuring a line of lifting racks, a new boxing/martial arts section with three types of bags, a 65-foot sled push and pull track (indoor/outdoor turf and built in ladders) and new equipment for all to use. Lighting, painting, flooring, graphics and much more will provide the perfect accent to the new look and feel.
- The upstairs fitness centre will see all new lighting, new TV installed on exterior wall (existing to be removed from light track) new flooring, painting, and equipment including Versa climbers, steppers, a Woodway treadmill, Air Dyne Bikes and Jacob's Ladder.
All this say we are continuing to improve ORC for the best experience of every member. We appreciate your support and understanding during the renovation. Should you have any questions regarding the renovation please feel free to consult with any of our staff.
