Here are a few steps you can follow to gain access:
- Make sure you have the latest version of the GYMVMT app. Update the app through the Apple Store or Google Play.
- The GYMVMT app is a member-exclusive portal and is integrated with our internal customer management software. The email you use to log into the app must match the email we have in our system. If you’re unsure which email that is or you are not able to book your workout, please email [email protected] so we can take a closer look.
- If you are a new member, our system automatically created an account in the GYMVMT app for you. Check your inbox for an enrolment email from MyWellness cloud (don’t forget to check your junk mail folder).
Still having troubles accessing the app? Email [email protected] and a Member Services representative will be happy to troubleshoot with you!
- You can arrive any time after your workout begins (as long as it isn’t a class). You can only book one workout per day in the GYMVMT app — if you need your time, just ask reception so we can extend your workout.
- Please arrive 10 minutes early for your Group Fitness class.
- Reschedule your workout or class by cancelling your spot in the GYMVMT app and rebooking at a time that works better for you.
- Cancel your group fitness class at least an hour in advance if you can so that someone on the waiting list can book their class in time to head to the gym.
- We’re working with a smaller team than usual. If your personal trainer has not been recalled yet, we’d be happy to temporarily set you up with another trainer for in-club sessions, remote sessions, or both! Speak to your club’s General Manager or Fitness Manager to make arrangements.
- Little MVRS will reopen when we’re confident it is as safe as possible for your little ones.
- You are invited to visit your club and check out our enhanced cleaning, disinfecting, and safety protocols .
- If you’re still hesitant, try out our remote fitness options — designed to help you stay active anytime, anywhere.
- You can also extend your membership freeze for up to three months at no additional cost (for a limited time).
- It is as important as ever to maintain a fitness routine, and we would love to help you get started either in-club or remotely.
- If you would like to freeze your membership, you can opt into a membership freeze for up to 12 months.
- The fee to freeze your membership is $50 + GST
- If you reinstate your membership before January 31, 2021, we will apply that amount as a credit towards your dues.
- Complete the form at the bottom of this webpage and a representative from our Member Services team will be happy to get your account up and running so you can book your first workout.
- You can also visit the club and our team will get you started!
- Although workouts and classes that are booked in advance through the GYMVMT app are guaranteed, walk-ins are accepted as long as you check in at reception.
