Health and Safety Policies

ELEVATE YOUR TRAINING – AND YOUR STANDARDS

We have prepared to welcome our members back to the gym with new procedures in place to ensure the health and safety of our community moving forward.

At Altitude Athletic, we prioritize the health and safety of our members and employees. 

 Our team has developed a comprehensive re-opening strategy in line with the new health and safety parameters laid out by all levels of government across the country. Our new health and safety policies will be updated regularly, as we recognize that public health information and provincial orders can change quickly.

We must work together to keep one another and the community safe, and we look forward to welcoming you to Altitude Athletic.

VACCINE MANDATE

Ontario no longer requires people to be fully vaccinated and to provide proof of their vaccination status to access certain businesses and settings including indoor restaurants, theatres, gyms, and settings where large gatherings take place. 

Therefore, Altitude will no longer require members, guests and staff to submit proof of vaccination upon entering the facility. 

MASK POLICY

In accordance with the Covid-19 mask mandate being lifted across Ontario, masks will now be made optional for clients and visitors of Altitude. We will continue to maintain high standards of cleanliness and sanitizing protocols to support the health and safety of our clients.

OCCUPANCY LIMITATIONS

The government of Ontario has lifted capacity restrictions in gyms across the province. Therefore, Altitude will no longer be limiting capacity in the gym space. However, we will encourage all participants to continue to follow social distancing measures as best as possible. To limit contact, treadmills will continue to be separated by plexi-glass barriers.
