(May take up to 24 hours to process and then display your workout.)
  • 3rd Party Tracking Apps and Devices – Go to the Profile tab and select ‘Connected Apps’ to link your account to your favourite 3rd party tracking apps and devices.

Your activity will be added to the Latest Activity in the Workout section of the app.

Please make sure your camera settings are allowed in your phone’s settings)

My camera button is greyed out when trying to submit an xCapture.

Allowing the camera is a permission you are asked when you first download the app. If you did not allow the permission initially, do not worry! Please open your phone’s settings, scroll down until you see your gym’s app, select the app, and toggle the camera permission so that it is “on”.

I don’t work out on cardio equipment but want to track my workouts. How do I do that?

No problem, use the “Manual” entry feature under “Create a Workout” and enter in your workouts by day. You can also link 3rd party tracking apps and devices to your account under the “Connected Apps” tab to automatically track workouts.

DE&I FAQs

DE&I FAQs

What is the Inclusion symbol?

The Inclusion symbol is a visual statement to members, team members, and guests that our clubs and corporate offices are diverse and inclusive environments. At MOVATI, everyone is welcome, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or identity.

What is changing at MOVATI based on this new Inclusion symbol?

At MOVATI, creating an inclusive and diverse environment has always been essential. This Inclusion symbol is the next step in our evolution, confirming our stance that diversity is a core value for us.

What does that mean? Why now?

At MOVATI, creating an inclusive and diverse environment has always been important and will continue to be a core value. The Inclusion symbol is a visual representation of our stance and the next step in our evolution.

Why is diversity important?

Giving a voice and space for many perspectives and representations cultivates an environment where we can all learn, grow and evolve.

What do all the colours mean in the Inclusion symbol?

The colours are based on the Progressive Pride flag. The flag colours were changed in 2021 to include Black and Brown communities of colour and members of the Trans community.

Outside of an additional Inclusion symbol, what is MOVATI doing to live this message?

We created a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Advisory Council and are continually learning and growing to view our spaces and interactions through a DEI lens. We’re excited to continue this journey with our members and team. Together we’ll continue to progress forward.

Is MOVATI doing anything outside of its walls to support local community members?

Our DEI Advisory Council has begun outreach to partner with local groups and will actively look to engage further in the community.

What is your gender split for employment?

We continue to improve our data collection. At MOVATI, we believe in equal opportunity for all and continue to strive to make a more diverse workplace. Results from a self-disclosure DEI Survey shows our gender split is approximately 73% female, 22% male, 1.5% Queer/Gender fluid, 1% non-binary, with 2% who prefer not to disclose. This data closely matches our team member metrics in a binary listing.

How are you an ally for inclusion?

We aim to create a space where all backgrounds are welcome, experiences are shared, and voices are lifted. Therefore, MOVATI has zero tolerance for hate speech, behaviours, or actions that may be deemed discriminatory.

Who can I contact with more concerns or comments?

You can email diversity@movatiathletic.com. Responses will be directed to our DEI Director.

Can I change the gender listed on my membership?

We are engaged in regular discussions with our member management software vendor. We have submitted our request for updates to gender options. However, this is not an item currently available in the software program.

What do I do if I'm feeling unsafe at MOVATI?

We aim to create a space where everyone feels welcomed and safe. If anyone feels unsafe for any reason, please speak to the club leaders or email us at diversity@movatiprod.redpiston.com.

What change room can I use as someone who is gender fluid?

Members are encouraged to use the change room they feel the most comfortable and safe in. For added comfort, inside our change rooms you will find private changing areas. Most of our clubs also include a gender-neutral change room (Universal Change Room) as an option.
