North Portal Community Fitness Centre Project

We are committed to the health and well-being of our community

The North Portal Community Fitness Centre will respond to the needs of the community by:

  • providing local access to fitness and wellness facilities, reducing the need for residents to travel long distances
  • repurposing the recreation centre hall, now available since the former Knox United Church serves as the primary meeting space, ensuring optimal use of community facilities
  • supporting physical health, mental well-being, and social  connection for residents of all ages
  • offering a safe, accessible, and welcoming environment that encourages active living and strengthens community engagement

Indoor Fitness Space Conversion

A Multi-Use Facility

  

The project will convert a portion of the Recreation Centre’s large hall into a dedicated gym and fitness area. The hall measures approximately 50 feet by 30 feet, providing sufficient space to support both equipment-based exercise and open-floor programming.


The layout will include:

  • Cardio Equipment Zone:
    Treadmills will be positioned under the existing windows along the hall wall, allowing users to enjoy natural light and exterior views while exercising.
  • Strength and Conditioning Area :  A selection of strength and resistance equipment, comparable to a hotel fitness room, will be arranged along the interior wall.
  • Open Group Fitness Space
    A defined open area will be reserved for pilates, yoga, stretching, mobility work, and other group or instructor-led exercises.
  • Flooring and Mirrors
    Rubber matting will be installed in the fitness zone to improve safety, reduce noise, and protect the existing flooring, complemented by wall mirrors to support safe exercise technique.


This design allows the hall to function as a welcoming, multi-purpose fitness area while maintaining flexibility for community use.
