Weight Room at Gordon Head Recreation Centre has re-opened!

Information Bulletin
For immediate release                                                                       

Saanich, BC – The “weight” is over! After an extended closure to replace the roof, we’re set for your sets, racked for your reps, and pumped-up to welcome you back to the weight room at Gordon Head Recreation Centre (GHRC), effective immediately.

The weight room has reopened today and begins regular operations that align with Gordon Head Recreation Centre’s facility hours.

The District appreciates the patience of patrons who have been eagerly waiting to return to this valued community amenity and who have modified their fitness routines, visiting other Saanich recreation centres for much of the last year.

A transformed space
Staff and contractors have been working hard to get the weight room into shape, and we think you’ll notice the gains.

Beyond the completely buff interior with new flooring, paint, and lighting, are key seismic, safety, and HVAC upgrades. It’s a ‘cool’ updated weight room – in more ways than one.

On your next visit, work-in on some brand-new equipment too – including a new bench press, squat rack, and a lat pulldown/seated row combo. Or hop on a new Woodway treadmill or a new arm ergometer.

Update on annual maintenance closure
Great news! You won’t have to miss leg day when GHRC completes its annual maintenance closure from June 15 to 28. Although the weight room will close for a short interruption to the building’s water supply (exact dates to be determined), it will remain open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for the remainder of the closure period. A full schedule with more details will be shared later in May.
