  IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL ATHLETES
 
Athletes registered with CSC Pacific are given the privilege of complimentary access to over 100 GymWorks facilities in Victoria, Vancouver and Whistler. It should be known that these businesses open their doors to athletes at no charge in an effort to support high performance athletes by providing convenient and complimentary access to training facilities.
 
Over the past few months, some of our premiere partner training facilities have approached CSC Pacific with concerns regarding the negligent behavior demonstrated by a few CSC Pacific registered athletes training in their facilities. Such behavior jeopardizes partnerships for other CSC Pacific athletes and future generations of athletes who would otherwise benefit from their support.
 
As outlined in the agreement each of you sign upon registering with CSC Pacific, please treat all GymWorks facility staff and equipment with the same level of respect you would show to your own equipment, teammates and coaches.
 
To ensure the continuation of these partnerships, we would kindly ask all athletes who utilize the Gymworks program share their gratitude by extending their thanks to facility staff. Showing appreciation for such support can go a long way in ensuring that programs like GymWorks remain intact for future generations of BC athletes. Athletes can express their gratitude with a simple thank you or by downloading this thank you postcard which can be printed, personalized and delivered to the GymWorks partners that you frequent!
