NEW FITNESS CENTRE UPDATES

We have been deliberately and intentionally slow in making operational decisions in regards to not only the Fitness Centre but the entire building.  This approach has allowed us to pick up on and address glitches as well as define our protocols and procedures.  The Fitness Centre is still not completely operational, and we are still having issues with our membership & payment tracking system.  Over and above that my team & I have been defining our environment here and making operational decisions each week.  We are constantly refining our policies, programs, hours of operation, prices and so much more.

An issue that has been in the background this entire time has been that of offering adult memberships.  That has always been part of the original plan, albeit with revised and restricted hours.  After evaluating the Fitness Centre's first full month of youth programming and experiencing first hand the substantial increase in our Youth population; both during key times in the day as well as in the evenings, we as a Samson's team have decided to operate the Fitness Centre as a Youth-Only facility.  Our mission statement has always been to offer an exclusive, top notch facility for the use of young people, where membership costs and a large non-youth population are not a barriers to participation.  I feel strongly that this demands all of our focus, especially because of our quick growth over the last month.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who called Samson's Gym your own.  Thank you for adding to the environment in the past, thank you for your support and for the many memories.  I do hope that you find another environment that will suit your workout needs.  If you have questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.  Best wishes in the future, and train hard!

Sincerely,

Ryan Dueck
