Manager's Welcome

Well, it seems summer is finally here with the arrival of the warmer weather! You will see the team taking some classes outside over the coming weeks – even more reason to get involved!

We have lots going on in the club this month, so it is imperative that you keep reading on to really get the most out of your membership this June.

As always, the team are here to help – so if there is anything we can help you with, please do not hesitate to ask.

See you around the club during June!

Club News and Events

Introducing for June… FREE friend Friday!

Each Friday during June, you can bring a friend to the club for free! Please note, your guest must register in full at the club’s reception on arrival. For guests, class bookings can only be made on the day.

The way you log onto the Roko App is changing…

We have been busy behind the scenes updating our systems to give you a much-improved user experience, online and in-club. Your Member ID will no longer be used to log in to the Roko App and Online – it will now be the email address we have on file for you.

One of the most important ways to ensure that your online accounts are safe is to set up a secure password.

The 4-digit PIN you use to log in will also become a password created by you – this method of accessing your account will provide greater security, and eliminate the need to save your Member ID.

When you first log back in, the screen will look like this:

Instructions for logging in for the first time:

• Select ‘Forgot your password?’ as shown on the above picture.
• Enter your email address
• Log in to your emails, and retrieve the password reset link email
• Follow the instructions on how to set up a password – it will need to be least 8 characters long, include at least one upper case letter, at least one number and at least one special character
• Re-open the app and enter your new details

We do not expect this to cause any issues – however, should you be unable to sign in using this method, please do let the teams in club know, and they will be delighted to help.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
