MedEx first opened in late October of 2008. The original space was located in James Bay Square Mall (Victoria, BC Canada). For the first few years, MedEx catered primarily to ‘people over 50 and those with medical conditions’.

Not part of any chain or franchise, MedEx was the first facility of its kind in Canada. MedEx was originally called MedEx Fitness Centre Ltd – ‘Medically-Based Fitness for People Over 50’.

We offered 3, 6 and 12-month memberships and had a very relaxed ‘contract’ policy. Our brochure read “No Mirrors. No Contracts. No Loud Music. No Spandex.”
