General Manager’s Message

Welcome to the November edition of the Newsletter. With 2016 fast coming to an end there has never been a better time to get into your stride with your fitness routine.

Over the month of November there is plenty going on in the club to keep you energised. Why not try the Jump Fit class or book in with one of the team to reinvigorate your workout ready for the New Year.

Some of you have wanted to discuss the family time we have added on a Friday. Please do feel free to come and talk to me in the club at any time.

We are delighted to say that we will shortly be having a delivery of small equipment for the gym floor and will be carrying out all repair work on the steam room at the start of November.

Fitness News

After the initial workshops, Jump fit is now on the timetable permanently and at no extra cost.  It is a fantastic low impact, high energy workout suitable for all.  You may hear contraindications to its benefits, however speak to Hugo (the instructor) or any of the class attendees who will tell you how great it is.  If you have concerns then they will put you at ease as many of them also expressed initial concerns about whether the class was suitable for them.

Our Christmas timetable is already in the making to run in line with our reduced opening times and instructors holidays.  We will still be bringing your favourites and hopefully some festive fun.

Within the gym we have already ordered some new equipment, which includes 2 new adjustable benches that are current hot topic in club.  Once a delivery date is confirmed there will be notices up around the gym to let you all know.

FitLinxx Announcement

Earlier this year we were notified by the parent company of FitLinxx, who provide us with the FitLinxx system on our gym equipment, that they were putting the company into administration as they were unable to find a buyer for the business.

We have been trying to keep the existing FitLinxx system online and as normally operating as possible, although I am sure at times you will have noticed some shortcomings. These have been somewhat inevitable as FitLinxx withdrew all support from the product in April this year, meaning FitLinxx would not carry out any repairs or provide replacement parts.

This means that the FitLinxx offering at Roko will have to be removed, and will now be phased out during the remainder of the year.  Unfortunately we have no other alternative than to do this as FitLinxx will cease to function entirely as of 31st December 2016. We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause you. 

If you would like increased fitness support during this phased removal of FitLinxx, for instance to be shown how to work out without FitLinxx, or if you have any specific queries about the system or your workout programme please see a member of the fitness team who will be happy to help you directly or book dedicated time with you. 

For Roko members, ongoing fitness support is always available, simply book in with the fitness team for motivational sessions, specific programme advice or to get you back on track.

We have also been exploring alternatives to the FitLinxx system so that we can, if appropriate, have a different fitness technology solution.  We are also developing and relaunching our fitness support services within club, through our highly qualified teams, as part of a new programme called “Your Roko FIT” which will be coming soon.
