Plan Ahead

  • Personal belongings can be brought inside the room and left near the coat rack.

  • Do not bring anything scented (body products, clothing with residue from scented laundry products)

  • Exercise equipment including spin bikes, mats, dumbells, and a TRX system are provided. A water fountain is located just outside the room.

  • Our space will have bright overhead lighting that is dimmed for low-sensory sessions.

  • Ground floor washrooms are binary with "gender diverse people welcome" signage. A single-user washroom is available on the second floor beside the binary washrooms, accessed by stairs or elevator (requires cashiers to swipe for access)

  • Ground floor access is level, no stairs. Underground parking accesses ground floor by elevator or stairs.


    • Program Specifics

  • This program is weekly on Mondays at 7:15-8:15 PM in a multipurpose room on the ground floor. Please aim to arrive by 7:10 PM so the instructor can set up the correct number of stations for the circuit, and get the workout underway at 7:15 PM.

  • This program is located in central Vancouver. Exact location details are shared with 2STGD people, please email 2STGD@vancouver.ca with your gender identity. Your identity information will only be seen by Queer Inclusion staff and will not be shared.

  • Regular fitness rates apply.

  • 100% discount with LAP


    • Registration and Cancellation

  • Registration is not required, but it allows us to contact you in the event of a last-minute cancellation. In the event that more people arrive than the room capacity allows, registered participants will have priority over drop-ins.

  • Online registration closes 2 hours before the program starts, but if the session does not display as "full", there are still spaces available for drop-in.

  • If you have already registered and need to withdraw from the session with more than 24 hours notice, go to vanrec.ca, My Account, then Transaction and Payment History. To withdraw from the session with less than 24 hours before the program starts, email 2STGD@vancouver.ca. We appreciate your withdrawal efforts so we can open the spot for another participant!
