Facility Re-Opening - Changes To Our Facilities
Changes Made to Facilities
As we welcome you back, you will note that the way we manage sites is different, but the new measures are being introduced are designed to help you feel safe and confident about returning to indoor based activities.
To help you feel confident when you visit, we've put together further guidelines for your visit to the Gym, Group Exercise Classes, as well as what you can expect on your arrival.
Gym
In line with Phase 2, we will be opening indoors for Gym and Group Exercise Classes only. The Gym will be based on the Track so we can provide a larger facility to aid social distancing and greater confidence to our users.
All sessions must be booked in advance - you will not be permitted to enter if you have not pre-booked your gym session.
This means that we can minimise queuing time and the risks associated with the COVID-19 Virus. You can book by heading to our online booking website.
Numbers will be limited so please make sure to book early. Gym sessions will be time restricted to 60 minutes and we’re asking customers not to arrive more than 10 minutes before a booked session. On arrival you may be asked to wait whilst the area is cleaned and prepared for your arrival.
Please note, for your safety, after every gym session our team will clean all equipment with a sanitizing solution, ready for the next set of customers to arrive.
