Our COVID-19 RESPONSE

---

We appreciate your patience, and understanding as we navigate how to operate in a global pandemic.

We want to keep you informed of our current plan in case we are required to temporarily close our doors as a result of a government mandated directive, or in the event that we have an internal COVID-19 case within our community or someone who has tested positive, and visited Philosophy Fitness within the preceding 14 days. 

If Philosophy Fitness and gyms are forced to further reduce capacity, how will services be offered?

If we are required to reduce capacity even further, in addition to continuing with our Virtual classes,  we hope to be able to continue offering Outdoor Classes, Small Group Training Classes, Personal Training, and other wellness services.  This will solely be based on which specific directive is given.

If Philosophy Fitness and gyms are temporarily closed due to another Government Shutdown, how will this affect my membership, and class pack? 

In the event that we are required to temporarily close as a result of the increasing cases of COVID-19 in Ontario, we will continue to offer a broadened Virtual/Outdoor Class Schedule, and move  Personal Training to our virtual platform.

Unlimited Monthly Memberships:

• The price of all monthly memberships will be reduced to meet the virtual monthly price for the duration of the shutdown so that you can access our Virtual classes. 
• Upon being notified that we will be shutting down the facility, and you would like to pause your membership, please inform us immediately.

Class Packs

• Expiration dates on all active class packs will be extended by the duration of the government mandated shut down. 

Our Plan in case of a positive COVID-19 case from a member or staff member who has visited Philosophy Fitness within 14 days of positive test result

STEP 1:  NOTIFY us immediately that you have received a positive COVID-19 Test result

If you’ve been training with us IN STUDIO, we would appreciate that you let us know if you’ve tested positive for COVID-19. Please email us at info@philosophyfitness.com 

STEP 2: Immediate Communication to our community and staff.

• We will be sending updated communications to all of our community members notifying them of the reported case 
• We will be reaching out directly to all members and staff who were at the highest risk of exposure. We consider highest risk to be those who trained directly with the member who has tested positive within
• We will immediately cancel all classes, personal training sessions, and wellness appointments for a minimum of 2 days and will work to ramp up a virtual solution outside of gym.
• We will extend all services/contracts for the duration of our temporary closure
• All staff will be required to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test result from the day that we temporarily closed before being able to return to work
• We will be doing a deep sanitation of our equipment and space prior to re-opening
• We will be sending a follow up email to everyone with an update for when we will be reopening 

We hope that you find these preliminary details useful, and if you have any questions or would like more information, we’d love to hear from you! Please keep in mind that we will be adapting as we progress through these evolving times, and we appreciate your patience.
