Hello all, Since we re-opened there are some changes to be aware of at Natural High Fitness as we navigate operations after our Covid-19 shut-down.

The Okotoks Recreation Centre re-opened July 7, 2020. Hours of operation and services are modified from prior to the shutdown. Details on schedules, programs and services at the Okotoks Recreation Centre, will be posted at www.activeokotoks.ca as they come available.

Please be patient as the team works through many details and planning measures to ensure the safety of all clients and staff.
Natural High Fitness re-opened on June 22.

Due to our partnership with the Town of Okotoks and our shared facilities, there are some changes to be aware of. There are also some changes to our regular hours, programs and operations to keep our staff and participants safe. It is important to note that the Recreation Centre will look and feel very different than it was before.

-Natural High and the Okotoks Recreation Centre officially closed on March 15th with a re-launch of most facilities on July 7th that equals a 113 day shut down. One month, 3-month and 12-month facility passes will be credited on July 7th for the total number of days you had remaining on your pass, as of March 15th up to 113 days. Please anticipate additional communication from the Town of Okotoks with regards to re-activating your facility pass.

-Between June 22 and July 6, the only facility that will be accessible in the Recreation Centre is Natural High Fitness. If you had an active 1, 3 or 12 month pass on March 15, you will be granted free access to Natural High between those dates. Those who did not have a pass on March 15 are still welcome to join us by purchasing a short term pass to carry you through until the Rec Centre re-opens.

Prices for these passes will be as follows:
purchased between June 22 and 25 – $20
purchased between June 25 and 29 – $15
purchased between June 30 and July 2 – $10
purchased between July 3 and 5 – $5

Hours of operation for August will be
Monday to Friday 5:30am-8pm
Saturday 7am-6pm
Sundays 8am-4pm
We will be closed, Monday Aug 3 and Monday Sept 7

-Locker rooms and wallet lock boxes will not be available until possibly mid-July after which you’ll notice some traffic flow changes in the locker rooms to allow for better social distancing. Please leave valuables at home or in your car, and come to the gym changed and ready to workout. We do have washroom facilities of course, but our goal will be to limit your time in the Rec Centre, so please come ready to workout. We would appreciate you not spending time in and around the Rec Centre until the facility is back up and running on July 7.

-Drop-in Fitness classes will re-launch on July 7. The Client Services team is working hard to launch many of our payment services online including a new on-line fitness and aquatic class booking process and pass purchases through the Town of Okotoks on-line activity and registration website www.activeokotoks.ca

Please watch for additional information as it comes available over the coming weeks, also at www.activeokotoks.ca Client services will still be available with modified hours to assist you in-person, but we encourage you to use the online services as much as possible.

-Spin and group fitness classes will be located in the Curling Rink, and as weather permits, outside, for the summer. This will allow for better spacing between bikes and participants during all classes.

-Kindercare childcare will remain closed until further notice.

-When you come into Natural High, please sign in so we can track attendance. Please also wash and/or sanitize your hands. And we will provide you a towel that you can use to clean equipment before and after your use it. We have disinfectant spray bottles located throughout the facility.
