2025 Summer Fitness Class Schedule
The below Summer schedule will start on June 30th and will run until the end of August. Please note we will not have classes on July 1st.
Classes are also cancelled from July 8th 10:00AM until July 10th 12:00PM. The Fitness Studio and Spin Room are in close proximity to the gymnasium, this closure is necessary to prevent the strong odours from the floor finish from affecting the air quality in the Fitness Studio and Spin Room. An air quality assessment will be conducted Thursday morning. If it is determined that the odour is still too strong, the Fitness classes will remain cancelled for the rest of the day and resume Friday morning at 9am.
To be added to our 'Fitbits' email list for notifications about class cancellations or changes, please email haley.mcdonald@acadiau.ca
