6th November 2019 | Gillingham

Manager’s Welcome

November is an important month of the year for health and fitness, the nights draw in and the temperature drops, so this month we are focusing on why people should choose fitness and not dwindle off this time of the year. Summer bodies are built in the winter, so putting the work in now will have a huge impact on where you'll be next summer! And don't forget that mental health can be affected in the darker times of the year and the club is a great place to improve your mental state. Do what you love, try something new, push yourself or treat yourself, it's all amazing for a positive state of mind! Plus, the team are always on hand to help you with you goals, give advice and lend a helping hand. 

We have had some challenges in the past few months with a key one being air conditioning but I am pleased to say (without jinxing) that we seem to now have this under control and the club atmosphere is improved because of this. We have started work on the pot holes in the over flow car park and the new locker keys and pins etc are on their way. 

With many of you completing the member survey the information coming back to management is really helpful so thank you. There, of course, are still things to work on but rest assured that we are and will continue to do so. 

There have been new classes added to the timetable. One in particular is Les Mills Grit which is a great 30 min program to help you get fit fast and in a highly motivating class. In fact, we are running a member Grit challenge this month: members completing 10 sessions of Grit in the month are receiving a prize from the club as a well done. 

Equipment repairs have been carried out and we are reviewing the gym kit etc to ensure that all is working and down time is kept to a minimum. 

The gym team want to remind you all that they are here to help members as a priority so if you see them around and cleaning etc then please don't think they are busy and can't help. You come first so please don't hesitate to ask for help when needed as they are happy to do so. 

Can I please ask all members to use the lockers as designated for use by all members and not to lock them and retain keys for personal use as this simply spoils the experience for others. Also please help us keep the facility as clean as possible by not dropping rubbish and using blue shoe covers when on poolside. 

We are also launching our festive range at the bistro so please look out for new treats. 

Thank you all 

Kieran Street and your Roko team

app improvements to class waiting lists

Great news - when you use the app to book classes, we have added an automatic online booking function to our waiting list emails!

When a class becomes available that you are on the waiting list for, you can now simply click the "book now" button on the waiting list alert email and it will automatically book you onto that class if there is still availability.

We hope you find this new functionality helpful.
