Manager’s Welcome

I hope everybody is well and back into the swing of things now we are well and truly headed into Autumn. The glorious days of summer feel all but a distant memory now!

It has been great to see so many of you at our new classes – the feedback has been fantastic! Do let us know what you think once you have tried them.

September and October traditionally sees many sporting events taking place, and I know we have many members taking part in various activities. Please see below for some outstanding achievements from a couple of our longstanding members! If you take part in anything, do let me know.

We are expecting to receive the second part of our brand new gym equipment from Matrix in the next couple of months – thank you for your patience with this. It is likely to arrive in November – we will keep you posted with the exact date nearer to the time.

As you will have seen from communication around the club, we will be changing our car park codes shortly. The exit code has already changed, and from 1st October, the entrance code will too. Please see Reception for the codes – we do kindly ask that these are not handed out to non-members. We want to keep our car park for the exclusive use of our members – thank you for helping us to do so.

A quick note also on towels – please can you ensure that if you do use a towel, it is placed in the towel bin before you leave? Since changing to a more eco-friendly company in March, we have lost a huge amount of towels, so your assistance in keeping this number down would be greatly appreciated. As always, please consider the number of towels you use on each visit, thank you.

Thank you also for all the feedback coming through on our online member survey. Don’t worry if you haven’t had yours yet – a specific number are sent at a time until they have reached everybody. If you do have any comments or suggestions in the meantime, there is no need to wait for the survey! I am usually in and around the club so do feel free to stop me for a chat, or pop me an email at: kmeagher@chiswickbridge.roko.co.uk

I look forward to seeing many of you in club again soon.

Kind regards,

Kati Meagher & Your Roko Team

club  news

We have had some fantastic achievements from our members this month, see below:

Katie Allan

A few words from the athlete herself:
‘I recently took part in the Triathlon World Championships in Lausanne representing the GB Age Group team. An amazing experience, competing against some unbelievable athletes. After struggling through a choppy swim in Lake Geneva, it was onto a very undulating cycle course, with some tough hills to climb. The run followed, bringing its challenges with 4 rather steep hills to compete with. I completed the race, coming in as the 3rd British athlete in my age group.

Thank you so much Roko Chiswick for all the support – I couldn’t think of a better place to train (and chat through training sessions!)’ 

Lawrence Kormornick
Never one to pass on a challenge, Lawrence has had quite a month! He completed both Maidenhead and Swindon half marathons, and as if that wasn’t enough, he then took on the London to Brighton bike ride (a short 54 miles!) He has three more half marathons coming up in October, including one just around the corner in the beautiful grounds of Chiswick House.

Huge congratulations to both Katie and Lawrence on their fantastic achievements, and best of luck to Lawrence with the races in October!

New arrival!
We like to think of ourselves as more than just a club here at Roko Chiswick – our team members and members are like one big family. We are delighted, therefore, to welcome a brand new member to this wonderful team – introducing baby Ezra!
