As a concerned parent and member of the Edmonton community, I am deeply saddened by the recent closure of the playroom at MOVATI gym in the Windermere community. This decision has had a significant impact on my ability to prioritize my mental and physical health while ensuring my children are in a safe and supervised environment.

The playroom at Movati gym was not just a convenience; it was an essential service that allowed parents like me to focus on our well-being without compromising our children's safety. It provided a unique opportunity for families to engage in healthy activities together, promoting an active lifestyle from an early age.

According to numerous studies, regular exercise has been proven to have numerous benefits for both adults and children alike. Physical activity helps reduce stress levels, improves mental health, boosts cognitive function, and enhances overall well-being. Additionally, engaging in exercise as a family encourages bonding time and sets positive examples for our little ones.

The closure of the playroom has left many parents with limited options when it comes to finding suitable childcare during their workouts. This predicament forces us to make difficult choices between spending quality time with our children or taking care of ourselves – something no parent should have to face.

This sudden change has also left some people without employment. These people have poured into our children only to be told they have a month to figure it out. 

By bringing back the playroom at Movati gym, we can ensure that parents have access to safe and reliable childcare services while they focus on their fitness goals. Not only will this benefit individual families but also contribute positively towards building healthier communities.

I kindly request that Movati gym management reconsider their decision regarding the closure of the playroom facility. By reinstating this vital service, you will demonstrate your commitment towards supporting your members' overall well-being while acknowledging the importance of family-oriented fitness opportunities.

Let's come together as concerned parents, members of Edmonton's community, and advocates for healthy living by signing this petition! Together we can make a difference in ensuring that all individuals, including parents, have the opportunity to prioritize their mental and physical health without compromising the well-being of their children.

Thank you for your attention and consideration.

Sincerely,

Parents and Supporters at Movati
