manager’s welcome

Welcome to March’s newsletter – I hope this finds everybody well.

Spring is definitely in the air – the days are longer, the weather is … improving! And it’s lovely to see the positivity of daffodils and early spring flowers popping up everywhere, and positive vibes are something we all need a bit of at the moment.

We look forward to seeing you working out in the club whether you are a seasoned weight trainer, fitness fanatic or a Group exercise groupie, we have workouts and classes to suit every individual that walks through our doors.

Remember a little progress each visit to the gym adds up to big results!

Your Roko Nottingham Team

Gym Floor News

The first two months of 2022 have certainly been busy for us, we continue with our upgrades.  You will now see that you can purchase bands to use with our Matrix resistance machines.  These bands will enable you to scan your workout to each machine that is on your programme. 

Allowing you to adhere to your training goals and reach those targets. It is also easy to update your programme adding on sets or reps or additional exercises.   There is a whole host of exercises that we can use to enhance your training programme, be it resistance machines, free weight or body weight exercises. 

So, book in with a member of our gym team and wear your programme on your wrist, programmes are also accessible on your Roko App.

Body Attack Love for Ukraine

On Saturday 12th March we launched Body Attack 115 and mingled it in with some old classics for a 90 minute sweaty cardio class. 

For 90 minutes of intense workout we asked that you wear yellow and blue and donate what you could to raise funds for Ukraine.

Roko members you did not disappoint and currently our fund-raising stands at £400.  Thank you for your love of fitness and kindness and generosity.

We were also overwhelmed from your generosity of donations of food and clothes which we delivered to Trident Security who have funded 3 lorries full of donations to take to Ukraine. 

Lorries made it to the city of Chelm in Poland, approximately 16 miles from the Ukrainian border.  These donations have been loaded onto different trucks which are delivering to specific locations across Ukraine.

Remember if we could all do one act of kindness daily, we just might get the world in the right direction.

The Roko swim team

Thanks to all parents and carers for your continued support in regard to your participation with the Roko Swim School.

We were pleased to showcase their progress this week as a periodic invite to see your child in action with their teacher. More will be planned in the near future.

The swim programme is healthily subscribed, and we continuously endeavour to cater for the specific needs and abilities of all swimmers, delivered by our consistent teaching team.

We appreciate your continued feedback to help us build on the programme. Our aim is to develop the classes at the higher end (stage 6-9) such as technique in all 4 strokes, distance, personal survival, swim challenges & water sports.

The Roko programme is well resourced, and we are pleased to inform you that we have recently invested in equipment for all ages, stages & abilities to enhance your child's experience.

Many Thanks

Roko Swim Team

Marching into spring with lighter, longer days,

and a bounce in our step! 

A three-part workshop series this spring that acknowledges what is going on in your life and allows you to build and explore a practise in a way that fully supports that.  We share a system with you where the focus is on spinal orientation and sacrum stability.  Each workshop will integrate breathwork (pranayama), meditation and movement (asana); the movement will be slower and with longer duration holds, with plenty of space to draw through the philosophy.  And the transmutation of the component parts creates a whole that is stronger and more powerful, a transformation into something else.

Next up, ALCHEMY2 on Saturday 9th April from 11am-1pm, followed by a vegan lunch in the studio.  

You don’t have to have been to ALCHEMY1, and this is not a hot practise, however we will ensure an ambient temperature for comfort throughout. 

ALCHEMY2 is supported by Sweaty Betty Nottingham, expect a little goody bag and a £15 ‘Just For You’ voucher to use instore … and one lucky person will win a personal shopping experience in the Nottingham store and be gifted a pair of new season leggings of their choice! 

You can buy your ticket here and then be sure to book your space here
