Welcome to the Fitness Centre!
It’s true! The Joe King Fitness Centre is now open 24/7. To get things started, we have a power rack, complete set of barbells, multi- adjustable bench, Bosu and Swiss balls, stretching mats, seven stationary spinning bicycles, and four strength training exercise machines including a dual adjustable pulley, lat pull down/vertical row, multi-press, and leg extension/leg curl. And hopefully more to come as funds become available through further donations.
Training Opportunity (Volunteer Fitness Leaders) We know that it is the people that will ultimately make this successful, not just equipment. Therefore we are seeking individuals that are interested in attending non-certified training that will give you the skill set to assist other members develop safe fitness equipment habits and exercise routines. |
Entrepreneurial Opportunities (Certified Fitness Instructors) HIAA will support and work with anyone interested in taking on a leadership role in our community and acquire the necessary professional training to become certified fitness, spinning and weight training instructors. |
Fees
We want the equipment to be accessible and have decided for the first winter it will be by donation only (over and above your HIAA membership dues). We will assess fitness centre fees again in the spring and decide if it needs to change. Please make your donations to any board member and specify it is for the Fitness Centre.
Keypad entry
You must be a member in good standing of the Hornby Island Athletic Association (HIAA/Joe King) to use the equipment. Please ensure your annual HIAA membership dues are paid to get the access code to the door lock.
Fundraising
Donations are still needed for cardio exercise machines (e.g. rowing machine, treadmill, elliptical trainer), outdoor deck, and an electrical upgrade. So please keep us in mind for your corporate or personal donations this year. We issue tax receipts for any amount over $50.00.
If you have any questions or comments, or would like to apply for one of the job postings at our new fitness centre, please email us here.
