DAVIDSON — Fitness buffs 15 and under will have to look beyond the Communiplex for their gym fixes.

A recent change in policy means that younger users are barred from the Town of Davidson’s fitness centre, with the exception of a handful of teens with existing memberships.

Recreation director Trevor Ouellette visited town council as a delegate during its Sept. 20 meeting to offer some clarification on the policy change.

Previously, the town had allowed the sale of gym memberships to users under the age of 16 as long as they had supervision from a parent or guardian every time they used the facility.

Following discussions with the town office staff, Ouellette said they decided to change the policy about a month ago.

As a result, gym memberships are now only available to users 16 and up.

Ouellette said a handful of users under the age of 16 continue to hold memberships, having been “grandfathered in,” but they are still bound by the rules.
