Interior Health granted injunction against West Kelowna gym, but owner vows to fight

On Friday, Interior Health was granted an injunction to temporarily closeThe ruling came just days after the health agency allegedly entered the gym this week and dropped off court documents indicating it was seeking the gym’s closure.Interior Health claimed that Iron Energy Fitness Centre was not requiring proof of vaccination from its clients, nor were clients wearing face coverings — both breaches of provincial health measures.

The gym also argued against an affidavit from Dr. Silvina Mema of Interior Health, stating her opinion is not shared by others in the scientific community.The order states “the plaintiff’s application for an injunction enjoining and restraining Iron Energy by itself, its servants, agents or otherwise or anyone else to whom notice of this order was given from operating Iron Energy or otherwise not complying with the closure order.

“We were denied natural justice,” Mark said in a 16-minute post on Instagram. “We were railroaded, essentially, in court today.”
