THE GYM

Just a reminder about the pilot program for the GYM.

Beginning January 2020, the GYM will be opened to include non-senior (ages 20-49) residents of Fruitvale, Montrose and RDKB Area ‘A’ for a 6-month trial period (January to June 2020) and monthly user fees will be implemented for both senior and non-senior users.  All users are required to complete a new Release of Liability waiver form, available at the Village of Fruitvale office, and pay the appropriate fees:  $25 for a new security access card and the monthly user fee of $30 for a non-senior user or $15 for a senior user.

Seniors who currently possess an access card will not be charged the access card fee, however you must complete a new Release of Liability waiver form and pay the monthly user fee for your access card to be activated.  As of January 2, all security access cards will be deactivated and only those users who have paid the monthly user fee will have access to the gym.  If you have lost your access card, there is a replacement fee of $25.

GYM hours
For Seniors aged 50+:  5:00 am – 10:00 pm / 7 days per week 
For Non-Seniors (aged 20-49):  1:00 – 3:00 pm and 6:30 – 8:30 pm / 7 days per week  

GYM Fees

If there are any seniors who have security access cards but do not use the GYM, please return the cards to the Village Office.

Please contact the Village of Fruitvale office, 250-367-7551 or info@village.fruitvale.bc.ca if you have any questions regarding the GYM.  The GYM is located on the lower floor of the Fruitvale Memorial Centre, 1968 Main Street in Fruitvale.
