We are also expanding and enhancing our Free Weights and Hammer Strength Area with HD Elite Power Racks, 45 degree leg press, new flooring, new plate weights, new cable lat pull down and seated row, dumbbells and lifting platforms.
There will also be improvements to the Functional Training Area including Plyosoft Boxes, Lifting Platform and lots of new ‘state-of-the-art-‘ functional training equipment. Group Fitness will also be getting some new equipment.
So lots going on over the next few months and we have more information about all the new equipment coming soon.
Hatton Boxing has been a real success at the club and very popular. If you want to try a new fitness class and learn something new then give this a go. New courses will be starting in January so if you are interested just leave your details at reception.

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.
