Fitness Centre

Where Community, Health, and Innovation Meet

At Vivo, we believe in the power of fitness to unite people of all ages, abilities, and cultures. Our newly renovated Fitness Centre is designed to be an inclusive space where everyone can pursue their wellness goals. Here’s what you can expect when you step into our state-of-the-art facility:

Accessible & Inclusive Fitness Options

At Vivo, we understand the unique needs of our community, where English might be a second language for many. That’s why our fitness center is equipped with cutting-edge technology offering multi-language capabilities, ensuring everyone can comfortably participate in their wellness journey. Moreover, our commitment to accessibility shines through with high-contrast features catering to those with color vision deficiencies and our specially designed accessible hand pedal bike, providing mobility-challenged individuals with a unique fitness opportunity.

Cutting-Edge Technogym Equipment

Technogym sets the world standard in user friendly wellness equipment. Here are some more reasons why Vivo chose Technogym equipment for our community:

  • Multi-language capability
  • High contrast for accessibility
  • Ability to track your wellness goals
  • Take classes even when you’re not at Vivo
  • Technogym uses equipment that is 95% renewable material, self-powered or that self-generates energy

Modern Universal Lockers and Changerooms

Part of our All-In For Community promise for this expansion was to design spaces that will unite all ages, abilities and cultures. The City of Calgary’s Advisory Committee on Accessibility has assisted Vivo with creating spaces that will be accessible for individuals of all physical, sensory and visual capabilities. A detailed report on our accessibility features can be found here.
