Back to Basics: Setting Up Your Fall Routine
CGC resources & reminders for a healthy active season
September 29, 2023
As the leaves on the trees begin to turn their vibrant colours, the CGC is excited to welcome the fall season! Whether you are returning to your daily fitness and wellness routine or setting new goals, we’re here to support you along the way.
Achieving Your Fitness & Wellness Goals
The CGC offers a few different ways to keep you motivated and active during your health & fitness journey.
- Drop-in Fitness Schedule | With over 60 drop-in fitness classes a week, there are lots of opportunities to find the way you like to move, no matter your fitness level or ability. Not sure what the class is all about by its name? See the class descriptions and instructor profiles for more details on what (and who) to expect.
- Registered Programs | Led by our certified instructors, these programs are smaller in size allowing for more specialized training and attention to help you reach your goals. Registered programs are listed in the seasonal program guides online (view the Fall 2023 Program Guide).
- Personal Training | Work with an Exercise Specialist or Coach to build confidence, create a personalized plan, and reach your fitness goals faster.
- Aquatics, Field House & Track Schedules | Looking for lane swims, opens swims, track lanes and court times? You’ll find them all on the schedules (Aquatics, Field House & Track).
- Fitness Centre Orientation | CGC Members (ages 14+) can sign up for a free 45-minute session in the Fitness Centre designed to introduce you to the equipment and how it’s used.
