Not in Ontario, but there is a list and map somewhere of Ontarian businesses that don't support the passport, including restaurants and at least one gym. It's not large, but if you live nearby it is an option. A couple of those businesses were punished by local governments. There may be more places that just won't make it public to prevent reprisal (like during prohibition).
I've also heard of someone showing their phone (without the pass) and they were accepted. You can always try that and see if they'll take you anyway. I believe the government said they're still in the informing stage (not enforcing) but that information might be too old. If you're having a hard time with that, and you're willing to travel, look up how vaccinated each region is. The less vaccinated ones might be more likely to ignore the pass.
If you want a theater, drive-ins may be an option. Not sure if they stop in fall.
You can also just invite friends over, or see if you can get a local group to split the costs to build a theater room or gym that everyone can use if anyone has the space. You'd be watching older movies (or streaming), but there's plenty of them and new stuff sucks.
Can you guys spread a way of communicating in decentralized channels? Either through some of these private messaging apps like Keybase & the like, or verbally through local communities social groups?
I feel like you really need to start working on disobedience infrastructure.
The year is 203X. Throughout the Free People's Republic Of Appropriated Canada, any and all fitness training has been outlawed under the guise of public health, with the exceptions of the carefully managed government enforcers. One man, Atlas Johnson, leads the True North Resistance faction, running an underground and under-snow fitness center meant to keep the average population in at least a fit enough state to walk short distances without the government-approved Free People's Transit System that requires them to showcase proof of subjugation therapy documents with any ride.
No one is ever prepared to do squat, but Atlas Johnson does squats every day. He may not be ready, but he is... Fit For The Job. Coming to theaters near you, if they're open and you've got your government approved-citizen pass.
I'm really disappointed though that family members just rolled over and are frequenting complicit restaurants as if nothing is wrong and this isn't some new dystopia.
The cowards also seem to have resorted to making dinner plans without even letting me know.
Haven't gotten asked in McDs. I don't know if I sat down if they would have come over and asked either. Haven't been to the other places so don't know.

Any authors want to write up a dystopian short story about a dissident running an an illegal gym?

I haven't tried tbh.
