Gym & Tonic

Hi Ladies. Firstly a huge thank you for all the support you gave us and for the lovely cards and gifts that i received, everyone was so generous. I just wanted to remind anyone who was interested about the Zumba tomorrow morning. Its at the Sullivan Hall at 10am. to 11am, i will be getting there around 9.45 and the fee is $5. Looking forward to catching up with those of you who are hoping to come.

Hi Everyone. We are very happy to say that we will be reopening Monday May 25th!! Due to BC Worksafe regulations we have several policies we need to implement and get the gym ready for your return. Not all members are on Facebook so i will be contacting those ladies over the next few days. Both the hours and the operation of the gym will be changing for everyone's safety. We will only be allowing 4 members at one allotted, pre arranged time in the gym. Each session will be 40 mins maximum. Thirty minutes to do the circuit and 10 minutes extra for us to clean after each session. Facemasks are optional as are gloves. We will provide hand sanitizer in the gym and cleaning equipment at each station of the circuit. Once you have seen this post, please message me directly on here so we can start to put members in for your preferred time slots as available. If you prefer, leave me a voicemail at Gym and Tonic at 778 575 5631 and i will get back to you shortly.
We are so looking forward to seeing you all next week!

Some of you may remember that we had a holistic nutritionist called Audrey Sinclair come to the gym and give us a presentation. She is inviting those of you who may be interested to a webinar entitled "How to loose weight and Regain your Health and Vitality through these times of stress", this is a free presentation. If anyone is interested can you please direct message me on here so i can let Audrey know. I am aware that her fees previously were rather on the high side so she has assured me that she has taken this into consideration and has adjusted her prices accordingly. Thanks so much.

Happy 1 year anniversary to Gym and Tonic 1.5.2020. Took a while coming, but loving our new sign which we truly hope is a 'sign' of things to come!

Hi everyone ! It's been a month to the day that we closed the door at G and T, and I am sure that you will all agree it's been a looooong one! We hope that you are all well and had a great Easter despite the obvious restrictions. Gotta find humour where you can find it and the photo below made me laugh.

We have been overwhelmed by the amount of support we have received from the loyal membership of Gym and Tonic, we cannot thank you enough! I am also very happy to report that everyone I have so far been able to talk to is keeping well 👍. Look after yourselves ladies and 'step away' from the fridge lol .

Hello ladies! Further to some helpful suggestions, we just wanted to clarify that we are paying attention to and investigating the Government plans to help small businesses at this time. Unfortunately so far, we do not appear to qualify for anything . A 'small' business is deemed to have a payroll of 50k plus and we do not meet that criteria. If we could actually get through on the help line and talk to someone we may find the government has other plans put in place for us! But many thanks for all your encouraging comments ladies!!

Hi Ladies. First and foremost we hope that you are all keeping well and virus free? As it has now been a week and a half since we closed the gym's doors ( I know it feels a LOT longer ), we feel its time to put you all in the picture. It is with heavy hearts we have to let you know that we have had to let Sue, Ramsha and Aida go as employees for now. As you would expect, they have all been very understanding of the reasons for doing this and we are very grateful to them. Sadly we know that across Canada and the world, employers are having to take this difficult decision, but that does not make it any easier. So now we come to the part you can play in keeping the gym open for when life gets back to some kind of normalcy. It's very simple, we need a couple of months grace from you all to allow us to keep taking your membership fees. After that period of time we should have a much clearer idea of when we can reopen G and T. Without your support then we will have no other choice than to sadly call it a day and close the gym for good. For those who are not on this page, I will be calling them directly to explain the situation. If for any reason you are not able or willing to keep paying your membership fee, then please either direct message me privately on here or call the gym telephone and leave us a voicemail. We really hope that for your sake we can keep the gym open. And for our sake, after having worked so hard to build a happy, healthy, unique place to exercise safely that we can beat this current crisis and see you all in a couple of months. Keeping you all in our prayers during these most challenging times.
Best Wishes,

Al and Fliss

Shoppers Drug Mart is doing something good.....
They open at 8am in Cloverdale. Seniors are defined as over 55, although the cashiers just guess when they look at you, so you young looking seniors may have to tell them!!

Hi ladies, having given this a lot of thought and having spoken to our staff we have decided that as of Tuesday 17th March we will be closing the gym for two weeks.
In accordance with government guidelines at this time with regards to the COVID 19 pandemic, we feel that for the well-being of our members and staff alike this is the appropriate action. The gym will be open tomorrow as usual, and if there are to be any other changes we will keep you informed. We are confident that all our members will support this step to do our part to slow the spread of COVID 19. Meanwhile stay safe and well ladies.

Hello Gym & Tonic members. Due to the Corona Virus pandemic (and other winter illnesses) we are asking that if members feel unwell that they refrain from attending the gym until your health improves.

If you are well, but attending, please know that our staff are being even more diligent than usual in cleaning the gym equipment and premises. However, you may wish to wear gloves while using the equipment.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and we hope everybody remains healthy and well.

Happy International Women’s Day to everybody, in particular to the women of our community in Cloverdale and our wonderful ladies of Gym & Tonic!
