6th February 2020 | Gillingham

Manager’s Welcome

So what felt for many like a month of at least 12 weeks, January is over and February is upon us. Snow and ice are likely of course so please be careful out there. Kansas City Chiefs won the super bowl and what a performance by Jlo and Shakira. Of course February is the month of Valentines but there are a few more to choose from this month too! What about National Make a Friend Day on the 11th or National Love Your Pet Day on the 20th or one close to our hearts, National Protein Day on the 27th, which I am sure we can help you all with.

There are a few more dates for the diary this month. Half term is 17th – 21st and whilst the club is expected to be a little quieter, we are taking the opportunity to refurbish the Studio 1 floor, so we will of course be closing the studio from the 17th until the 23rd to re-open on Monday 24th when classes will recommence as normal. In the meantime we will be running on a reduced timetable with some classes simply moving into Studio 2 and some into the smaller children’s studio. We have amended the app and the timetable of which reception will have a copy, and there will be times posted on Facebook. We hope that this will then help improve the member experience in our popular studios. To support this we will also run additional activities by our fitness and club team.  

The NEW Roko app is up and running now and has lots of additional benefits so please feel free to speak to the team should you have any questions, they will be happy to help. 

I would like to make members aware of how you can help impact and look after the club and other members so please read further on for a reminder of Member Etiquette.

Last month we held a member session involving work on posture, diet and health and it would seem to have been useful so we have decided to hold sessions like this every month. This month’s will be on Wednesday the 26th and Sat 29th in the member's lounge so the team will be on hand to provide advice and answer any questions you might have. Also should you wish to book in an appointment then they can help you with this too.  

The Thursday night DJ has been a popular addition so this will aim to continue into February. We have Brazilian Jujitsu happening in the club on Wednesday nights so something new should you want to learn a new skill and be involved in martial arts. The Bistro will be hosting you with Soup of the Day and member offers so keep an eye out for these at the coffee bar.  

I hope your year started well and continues to get better.

Health and regards,

Kieran Street and your Roko Gillingham Team

club news

there's a new app in town - and it can do even more! 
You can still book classes & get news but now it’s your fitness hub too!

You can create and track your workouts, link your fitness apps, join fitness challenges and set goals. So now the new app can help you in the gym as well as in classes!

The NEW Roko App replaces the current Roko App so please click here or on the button below for full details about how to download the new app and log in. Tip: You'll know it's the new app because our logo has a white background

Make sure we’ve got your correct email address as you cannot access the benefits of the NEW Roko App without a correctly registered email address.

** Please note that the old app switches off at the end of February so download the new app now if you haven't already**

Member Etiquette
Please be aware of how you can help impact and look after the club and other members. We will be putting a membership etiquette board up in the club in order to support this as we believe that our members want to help keep the club in a good condition and care about each other’s and their own experience. Here are a few things you can do to help:

Gym
- Please wipe down the kit after use
- Replace weights once used
- Refrain from throwing weights down
- Don’t take gym bags upstairs
- Help by putting litter in the bin
- Wear suitable clean shoes.

Pool
- Shower before entering the pool and after using the steam room and sauna
- Choose swimming lanes appropriate to who is in the pool - so fast swimmers in the fast lane and slower swimmers in the slow lane, moving when needed if the balance of each swimmer isn’t working
- Be respectful of space and try not to jump in front of or on people - they don’t tend to like it 😉

Changing Rooms
- All lockers are for single use only. Please clear out your locker after each use and leave it clean for the next member.
- Use the shower as designed, not for shaving, dying hair or generally anything apart from showering
- Children should use the appropriate changing room from 7 years old
- Clear rubbish and try to keep the dry area dry as it tends to become a bit of a mess rather quickly.

There of course are many things, but essentially we really do want to have all of our members having the best possible experience and we find all of these things help.
