New Member Orientation Program

When you sign up for your membership you will receive a one-hour orientation with a Certified Personal Trainer. During this hour, the trainer will take you through the gym and give you an exercise program to help you reach your goals. The exercise program will address the 3 components of physical fitness: cardio, strength, and flexibility. The trainer will teach you the exercises and stretches in a one-on-one setting to ensure that you have correct form and to be able to offer modifications as needed. The goal of the orientation is that you will feel comfortable and confident in the cardio and the weight room and learn technique cues that you can even apply in your group fitness classes! 


Approach the Coach

Do you have fitness related questions? Are you unsure of the proper form for an exercise? Would you like to know how to use the chin up machine? Our  "Approach the Coach" program gives you an opportunity to ask a Certified Personal Trainer your fitness related questions and gain valuable knowledge. View the schedule here. 

 

Locker Room

We provide all of our members with 2 options for the use of lockers at The Woman's Place.

Locker Rentals
For as little as $5 a month, you can rent your own locker and have your personal items ready and waiting for you at the club.

Day Use Lockers
We have a number of complimentary lockers reserved for members to use when they are in the club.

 

Parking

During the peak hours, the parking lot can be a busy place. If you are having trouble finding a place to park there is plenty of space available in the Trinity Baptist Church parking lot next door. In consideration of our neighbouring businesses we ask that our members do not park directly in front of their businesses during working hours.

 

Checking-in

All members and guests are required to check-in at the front desk when they arrive. Key tag members are asked to "swipe" their tag each time they come in.

 

What to Wear

We suggest that you wear comfortable exercise clothing that does not restrict your movement or cause you to overheat while exercising. 

 

Questions?

If you have any questions or concerns please contact any of the TWP staff team at the fitness club or on our Contact page.

Shoes

Clean, indoor, athletic shoes must be worn at all times (mind/body classes exempt) while exercising at The Woman's Place. Absolutely no bare feet, sock feet or sandals will be permitted when using the exercise equipment.

 

Workout Towel

A small workout towel is required for both the group fitness classes and when using equipment.

 

Cardio Room

Our cardio room is equipped with several TVs.  Earphones and remotes are available.
We have over 30 pieces of cardio equipment so waits for equipment are rare. Please limit yourself to 30 minutes if there is someone waiting to use the piece of equipment you are using.
