Making your next workout easier!

Pre-registration is no
longer required for members to access a Vaughan fitness centre
Planning to drop by the gym but not sure what time? No problem! Starting
Monday, Nov. 29, Vaughan Fitness members no longer need to pre-register to work
out and a new digital scan process for checking in will be in effect.
The new process will
require a key tag – members can visit customer service during their next
workout to get one. At that time, staff will verify their information, take a
copy of their photo ID and ensure they have signed the fitness membership
agreement. A key tag will provide members with quicker access to the fitness
centre for future workouts.
After receiving your key tag, you will still need to show proof of
vaccination and identification upon arrival at a community centre as part of
the vaccination
requirements for City programs and facilities.
You can then simply proceed to customer service and scan your membership key tag
for access to the fitness centre.
Pre-registration
at vaughan.perfectmind.com is still
required for fitness classes, as well
as recreational swimming and
aquafitness, skating and shinny
hockey, and sports and games rooms.
