Eastlink Centre implemented a new check-in process for gym users on October 10th.
According to the city, glass doors at the fitness centre will remain closed, and visitors will be able to self-check in.
Eastlink Centre members and Grande Access pass holders will now be able to check themselves in by scanning their membership card at the second-level fitness centre glass door entrance. Members who forget their cards can still check-in at the west guest experience desk near the aquatics centre.
Punch pass users will have a similar experience; however, the city is advising that punch passes should only be scanned once per person per day as each scan counts towards punches.
Drop-in fitness users must check-in at the west guest experience desk, and are advised that if you choose to leave the fitness centre to use another amenity, you must speak to Eastlink Centre staff before being allowed back into the fitness centre.
The city says the new process was implemented to allow staffers to be on the floor, providing more chances for hands-on guest support.
