Going Green!

Committed to the environment!
We believe that it is pointless to assist people to become fit and healthy if we damage the environment in which they live in while providing the service. We are committed to continually improving in this aspect; and have done the following and more...

Green Revolution : A First for Vancouver Island
Come make electricity!

After realizing how much energy is produced by our members while they work out, we see that this energy can be converted to electricity to reduce our consumption of resources. We have enlisted the assistance of the people at Aloyd Fitness Fitness Equipment and Green Revolution to reduce our power consumption. They have helped us install 16 Spin Bikes that each have their own generators and feed electricity into our supply! All bikes are linked to a montior so the spinners do different programs and can see how much electricity they are producing. They are also linked to the internet so that our classes can compete in realtime with other facilities also kitted out with this equipment.

It is our long term goal to change all our power consuming equipment to be power producing.

Feel free to join one of the spin classes; they are included free in your membership or drop in. These classes are offered on a first come, first served basis; however if you want to guarantee your place you may reserve your favourite bike for a small fee. Please contact reception at 250-716-1111. You may also use the bikes whenever there is not a class

Hydro consumption
Where possible we have installed energy efficient lighting and other appliances.

Chemicals
We carefully choose what chemicals we use in our facility. We aim to use chemicals that have the least effect on the environment and will not affect people in any manner. We also must maintain high levels of hygiene.
