Manager’s Welcome

Welcome to the August Newsletter. The best summer on record continues to bathe the nation in glorious sunshine!                  

It’s at this time of year that we are reaping the benefits of the hard work in our fitness regime throughout the year. For me it’s certainly time to go again and work that bit harder! In Jack’s section this month he shares the detail on the relaunch of the swimfit. and classfit. sessions.

We have built a team over the last few months who are ready to help you whatever your goal, so whether it is classes or a stroke technique session in the pool why not book in with one of the team to reinvigorate your workout.

Those of you that use the gym floor will hopefully also have noticed the brand new Matrix Ascent Trainer. We have loaned this from Matrix for the next 4 weeks and would love to hear your feedback. This is with a view to us changing the gym equipment later this year, hopefully exciting times ahead!

I will be away on leave for the remainder of the month from the 17th so will be running a meet the manager session at 6.30pm on Thursday 16th.

I look forward to seeing you in the club soon!

Warm Regards,

Ben Holden, General Manager

Fitness News

- Jack Dillon  Fitness Manager -

Summertime!! I hope you have all enjoyed some of this amazing weather we are having? As many of you will be away the club becomes a little quieter, we therefore run  a reduced time-table of classes. So look out for updated time-tables on the walls, printed copies and of course online.

We currently have a new piece of kit on our gym floor - ‘the Matrix A7xi Ascent trainer’. Please do try it out. I would really love your feedback about what you think of it. You can feedback via Facebook or Instagram or do drop me an email with your thoughts.

Have you had your rokofit.?? If you feel like you need a lift to your workouts or are getting a little bored of doing the same thing you can book in a stayfit. with one of our fitness coaches. They will be able to show you some different exercises to improve your daily workout as well as give you that push you need to reach your goals.

During August I’d like to also invite you to book into one of our new rokofit. sessions that are now available:

classfit.
classfit. gives you the opportunity to meet with one of our qualified and experienced instructors to get the full run down on all things class related.  What do these classes include and does beginner really mean beginner?  Which one should you choose to meet your own fitness goals and how and when can you book. These sessions will last 30 minutes and can be booked at reception.

swimfit.
swimfit. is our welcome to all things aquatic at Roko.  Our swimming specialist will guide you through the pool based activities available within the Club to help you really make the most of your membership.   We are keen to point you in the right direction to ensure you fully enjoy your swim sessions and reach your goals quicker.   You will have the chance to ask everything you need about swimming at Roko and to get in the water and try out a session of your choice. These sessions will last 30 minutes and can be booked at reception. swimfit. sessions will be taken by Adam on Monday evenings and Wednesday mornings.

For any of our members I would highly recommend you give our  Rok-X classes a go. Rok-X classes are 30 minute HIIT class to help you step away from the treadmills and give your workout a punch it needs. We have them most days at lunch time and in the evening.

Busy lifestyles and hectic schedules call for skin treatments that will help you look and feel your best without downtime or discomfort.

Venus Legacy non surgical face and body treatments fit the bill perfectly.

You can now get to grips with those wobbly bits and tone and tighten the areas that diet and exercise alone won’t touch.

Perfect if you are looking to contour and sculpt any area of the face or body.

What is the Venus Legacy treatment???

Designed to tackle to most common signs of ageing.

Venus Legacy is a new generation of power sculpting delivering safe and painfree skin tightening and body streamlining with superior results.

Safe for all skin types Venus Legacy is FDA approved (US Food Drug

For face wrinkles and contouring and cellulite reduction.

How does it work???

As we age we produce less collagen (the protein that keep our skin firm, strong and supple) and we store more fat - so signs of ageing such as wrinkles and sagging become more pronounced.

So to counteract these concerns The Venus Legacy is the first all in one non surgical medical devise using patented (MP2) which utilises multi polar radio frequency with pulse electro magnetic fields that product a gentle heat matrix over the skin. This leads to a thermal reaction in the skin tissue to kick start the body natural healing response at a dermal level causing the skin to contract and lypolysis (fat melting) to happen achieving softening of wrinkles, skin tightening and cellulite reduction.

Which problems can be targeted???

Stubborn pockets of fat
Saggy skin
Cellulite
Stretch Mark Reduction
Poor circulation
Arms
Double chin
Jawline
Bra bulge
Back fat
Brazilian bum lift
Saddle bags

The advanced vari pulse technology is the first of its kind. The adjustable pulsed suction feature gently pulls the skin upwards allowing the radio frequency energy to travel even deeper into the skin. As well as increasing circulation, reducing cellulite and body contouring the radio frequency encourages collagen and elastin production for smoother tighten skin whilst at the same time the volume of fat cells in the treated area are broken down to promote a slimmer more streamline shape.

We have a special promotion for Roko members running throughout August so please do pop in and see us.
