Manager’s Welcome

Welcome to your December newsletter!

The main pool floor refurbishment is well underway and we are very excited to re-open both swimming pools from 6am on Monday 3rd January 2022. Currently we are at stage 1 of the work which involves draining the main pool to allow the removal of the old tiles.

If you usually swim at the club, why not try a new class? The team (as always) are here to help! With January just around the corner, get a head start on your New Year’s resolutions and book in with a member of the gym team to review your gym programme.

As we head into the Festive season, look out for our club lounge festive food & drinks menu and some special club events including Christmas jumper day!

Once again, your experience as a member is at the heart at everything we do. Therefore your feedback is incredibly important to us and shapes the future work we do in order to improve our offering to you. If you would like to give any feedback at any time, please do not hesitate to drop me an email tjeffery@york.roko.co.uk.

From all of the team here at York, thank you for your support over this last year and we very much look forward to seeing you in your club in December.

Tom Jeffery
Deputy General Manager
