Construction, Parking & Traffic — OH MY!

YES, we're open. Yes, you can get to us. And yes, we're here to help.

Yes, we're open. Yes, you can get to us. And yes, we're here to help.

If you've driven through downtown Okotoks lately, you already know: there is a LOT going on.

Between the ongoing Riverside/South Railway construction, road closures, peak-hour traffic and our already-slightly-quirky parking lot, getting to Full Circle might look a little intimidating right now.

The good news?

We're open. We're accessible. And getting here is easier than it looks.

We've put together this guide to help you navigate the construction, choose the easiest approach from your neighbourhood and figure out where to park once you arrive.

First things first: Full Circle is OPEN

Construction is happening around us, but access to Full Circle Movement Studios remains open.

And there's one really easy rule to remember right now: Head toward Northridge Drive / Highway 2A + approach us from Riverside.

The South Railway → Veterans Way → Lineham route is not an access route to Full Circle during this phase of construction, so there's no need to try to navigate your way through it.

We're tucked in right behind the Shell on Riverside Drive. If you can get yourself to Northridge/2A and Riverside, you're basically here.

Coming from your neighbourhood? Here's how we'd approach it.

  • This one's easy.

    Head south on Highway 2A / Northridge Drive toward downtown and make your final approach to Full Circle from Riverside Drive.

    Once you see Shell, you're almost there — we're tucked right behind it.

    Your goal: Highway 2A / Northridge → Riverside → FCMS

    No need to head toward South Railway, Veterans Way or Lineham.

  • Coming from the south? Highway 2A is your friend.

    Head north toward downtown and make your way to the studio via the Riverside Gate / Riverside Drive side.

    You do not need to navigate the South Railway construction to reach us.

    Your goal: Highway 2A north → Riverside Gate/Riverside → FCMS

    And remember the easiest landmark: look for Shell — we're right behind it.

  • This is where your usual route may look quite different right now.

    With the South Railway → Veterans Way → Lineham corridor affected by construction and closures, don't try to use that as your way into Full Circle.

    Instead, work your way west toward Northridge Drive / Highway 2A, then approach the studio from Riverside.

    It may look like the long way around on a map, but it gives you a much clearer approach to the studio without trying to navigate the construction zone.

    Your goal: Get to Northridge / Highway 2A → Riverside → FCMS

    Skip: South Railway → Veterans Way → Lineham

    Once you see Shell, you're there!

  • You're closer than all those construction signs make it feel.

    Make your way toward Northridge Drive / Highway 2A, then approach us from Riverside Drive.

    Once you reach the Shell at Riverside, you're essentially here — Full Circle is tucked into the complex right behind it.

    Your goal: West/Downtown → Northridge → Riverside → FCMS

Okay... but where do I PARK?

We know. Our parking lot was a little quirky before somebody decided to dig up half the neighbourhood.

So let's make this part easier too.

  • Full Circle has two dedicated FCMS parking stalls.

    Like most businesses in our complex, some of our neighbours also have designated stalls. Please be respectful of spaces that are clearly signed for another business.

    But here's the part that isn't always obvious:

    If there is no business sign in front of the stall, it's available for shared parking.

    You do not have to wait for one of the two Full Circle stalls to become available.

    Have a look around the lot and use an available unsigned space.

  • You can also park along Riverside Drive between Shell and the three-way junction.

    This can be especially handy during busy class transitions when the immediate lot fills up.

  • During the ongoing construction, the Econo Lodge area has also been an additional access option, with a paved walking path connecting toward our complex.

    Please pay attention to posted signage and be respectful of hotel operations, but during all of this construction we're doing what we can to loosen the barriers to getting yourself through our doors.

Coming for a peak-time class?

Our busiest arrival windows tend to be around:

9:00 AM • 4:45 PM • 5:00 PM

If you're joining us around these times, give yourself an extra 5–10 minutes.

That gives you time to navigate the traffic, find a parking spot, get into the studio, put your things away and arrive for class without starting your movement practice with an accidental stress test.

And remember:

You don't need to circle the lot waiting for an FCMS stall.

Check the unsigned shared stalls and Riverside street parking, and use the additional access options above when needed.

Construction is annoying. Getting to class doesn't have to be.

We know construction can make the thought of coming downtown feel like more effort than usual — especially at the end of a long day.

But Full Circle is still here.

We're open.
You CAN get to us.
Classes are running.
And we really want to see you.

The easiest rule to remember?

Northridge / Highway 2A → Riverside → look for Shell → Full Circle.

Give yourself a few extra minutes, use the route that makes the most sense from your neighbourhood and come move with us.

Still unsure how to get here? Reach out to the Full Circle Crew. We're happy to help you find your way in.

Construction conditions can change as work progresses. We'll keep this guide updated if access to Full Circle changes.
