Manager’s Welcome

Firstly here at Roko Portsmouth, all the staff and I would like to wish all our members the very best of health and hope that through these past 4 months, everyone has been ok and managed with the unprecedented circumstances that fell upon us all.

It has genuinely been great to welcome back so many positive people and spend time with you all. We are feeling really positive with our campaign of GET FIT SAFELY – your health is our priority.

The team at Roko really appreciate your understanding with the changes to club operations under Covid compliance rules. And again we thank you in advance for the support of the club and the compliance you all have shown since coming back..

Many thanks and see you in club

Matt Norris & your Roko Team

Club News

Since the government announced a relaxation of lockdown to allow business to re-open under guidance; we at the club, before opening and during our first month of operation, have been working extremely hard to ensure we are doing everything we can to ensure that our members and staff are comfortable returning to the club.

We appreciate that we are all adapting to the new normal.

We ask all our members to follow the simple messages we have outlined in the club and through our media channels to ensure we are keeping everyone safe. We appreciate everyone supporting the club and following the COVID-19 secure guidance. If anyone has any questions on these processes please do not hesitate to ask within in club.

5 simple key in-club Covid guidance messages to remember are:
• Don't come to the club if you are feeling unwell or showing any symptoms
• Wash your hands and use hand sanitiser as often as you can
• Wipe down all equipment before and after use with the spray and paper towel provided
• Maintain social distancing in club at all times
• Wear a face covering when moving around the club (not while exercising)

Roko App
If you are not already aware we have launched our new app (with the white background) and we have now turned off the old app (burgundy background) 

In the changing environments we strongly encourage everyone to download the app – we are utilising it for all group exercise class bookings, swim lane bookings, gym class inductions and most importantly, push notifications to communicate any changes or news with immediate notice.

Swimming News

Swim School – Return
We are delighted to announce that our swim programme will recommence on Monday 7th September and run for 10 weeks.
Amy, our Swim Co-ordinator, should have been in touch with all parents with further details including the Swim England Guidance (if you want a sneak preview head over to our Facebook page)...

The guidance from our swim coach Erin on Facebook is worth checking out so as a parent you will know what to expect come lesson time …

We currently have availability in many of our current programs: Parent + Toddler; Beginner 1; Beginner 2; Improver1; Improver 2 and Advanced.

Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Lane Swimming
Our lane swimming through the app has been a real success since launch, and we would like to thank all the respective members and guests who have followed the guidance and made this a positive safe and well run experience.

Please book swimming lanes via your on-line account on the app.

Lane 1 Fast / Medium swimming          Up to 3 people sharing a lane.

Lane 2 Fast / Medium swimming          Up to 3 people sharing a lane

Studio Classes

Due to the popularity of our classes we would like to reiterate that if you are unable to attend for any reason please cancel your booking through the app.  (Due to limited class capacity for social distancing purposes we are going to be reviewing our NO SHOWS for class bookings daily so please if you are unsure you can attend please cancel through the app)

As we have more members returning we will be adding to the timetable as we move through the rest of the year.

We are also working hard to improve and implement live streaming of our classes to increase the number of people who can access them. You can currently book to livestream some of our Mind and Body classes, and we will soon be announcing dates of when livestreaming of our High Energy classes will be available. Sound quality has been impeding the implementation but we have found a solution are currently testing and rolling out the improved livestreaming product. Our High Energy class livestream will not include Les Mills classes at this time due to licensing restrictions.

Café / Bar

We envisage our Café Bar will open in due course – we will be informing everybody when this is likely to come back to operation.

Squash Courts

We are also pleased to announce that we have also opened squash court No 2 for operation. It is bookable on 45 min slots. Again as a club we have to follow and ask our members to respect the Covid secure guidance with Squash participation. Main points are:-

You need to bring your own racquets and balls.
You MUST play with people within your own household and or social bubble. (You will be required to fill in a disclaimer before each session of play to confirm you are following this guidance)
You are not allowed to touch walls to dry hands etc.

We have dedicated routes to the courts and also significant cleaning time between each bookable session to clean after each session.

Clear guidance for players can be found here:-
