The safety and wellbeing of our staff and members is our priority. 

 

Please ensure you read our Stay Safe Covid-19 guidelines below carefully to ensure you can continue safely on your fitness journey with confidence.

HOW YOU CAN KEEP YOURSELF AND OTHERS SAFE

Stay home if you’re unwell. Mostly importantly, please don’t come to the club if you have any of the COVID-19 symptoms.

 

Take regular lateral flow tests. One in three people who have Covid-19 don’t show any symptoms. Taking regular lateral flow tests will enable you to feel confident that you do not have the virus.

 

We recommend all members, staff and visitors to wear a face covering when moving around inside any of our facilities and not actively exercising. 

 

Clean equipment after use. Please help protect yourself and fellow members by cleaning the gym and class equipment before and after use, with the cleaning products provided. Focus on areas you have touched such as handles and screens. Return all equipment and cleaning products to where they belong.

 

Use hand sanitiser when entering and exiting different areas.
