Manager’s Welcome

I hope you are all well and enjoying the facilities here. Restrictions have now lifted but our priority is to still have a safe environment across the whole club.

It’s so good to see some old (not in age :-) ) faces again, with more members returning to the club and back on their fitness journey. Please remember that the fitness team are always on hand to provide the support you need to achieve your goals. No matter how big or small, the support is all included within your membership.

We are now back to our pre-covid opening hours so there’s even more time to exercise and utilise your membership. We also have a brand new studio timetable this month with some exciting new additions such as Nifty 50’s and Dance Fitness; give them a try and let us know what you think.

Thank you all for your continued support and I’ll look forward to seeing you in club. If anyone has any feedback or suggestions please let myself or a member of the team know, as we are always looking to improve the overall experience for our members.

Craig Johnson & your Roko team

Swimming lessons September 2021

A Huge thank you to all the swim parents for taking the time to complete the T&C’s of the new swimming lessons procedures.  The new monthly direct debit procedure will make your life easier as we say goodbye to booking deadlines and enrolments!  The swim course is now a rolling course in which your child will move up the stages as and when they have completed the criteria. 

If you need to change the day of your swimming lesson, this can be done at any time providing there is space to move them.  If you need to swap your child’s lesson please email jarcher@york.roko.co.uk.

Please note if you are a member and your gym membership is due to cancel, this will change your child’s swimming lessons price to non-members.  Also, it is vital that you swipe your child’s membership card as you come in to the club for your swimming lessons.  This is so we can give you any information you may need before your child’s lesson begins. 

If you are on the waiting list for swimming lessons you will be called during the last 2 weeks of September.  We will only call you if we have a space to offer you.  If you need further information about the new procedures please do not hesitate to email Jo Archer on the email address above.
