With recent announcements from the provincial governments in Manitoba and Saskatchewan detailing the loosening of restrictions to move past the COVID19 pandemic, Wheelhouse will be initiating changes to vaccine requirements and in-studio capacities in both Regina (immediately) and Winnipeg (March 1).
Like so many businesses, we have followed guidelines set out by experts: doctors, academics, scientists to help do our part to reduce the spread of the virus. We’ve closed our doors, reduced in-studio capacity, proactively introduced a vaccine requirement, ridden in masks, and upped our cleanliness procedures and policies.
Now, we are choosing to continue to follow guidelines set out by provincial health organizations who tell us vaccination remains effective at reducing severe outcomes with the predominant Omicron variant- but that transmission is likely, vaccinated or not.
With this in mind, we will be taking the first steps to return to normalcy by eliminating vaccine requirements for all studios in Regina effective immediately, on March 1 in Winnipeg, and will slowly be re-introducing bikes to work towards full capacity in the studio.
The last two years have been devastating for so many, and we know that every change, no matter how positive, will bring some uncertainty.
Here is what we do know:
Wheelhouse is here for you, whether you choose to return to our studios now, or in the future. Wheelhouse Live has become a connector for thousands of people to sweat in the comfort of their homes, and we’ll continue to add new rides and workouts every day. Our Wheelhouse Live Community grows with new members every day, and our Wheelhouse Bike is shipping across Canada with 1-3 day delivery times.
For those who have come to love a combination of in-studio and at-home workout options: we’re close to announcing a new monthly ride and at-home Wheelhouse Bike package that gives you the best of both worlds.
For those in the vault: we will continue to uphold the highest standards of cleanliness with the same unparalleled energy and enthusiasm for every person who walks through our doors.
Thank you for your continued support for us and your WHEELPACK.
