We are back, again!
We are thrilled that following the changing restrictions, our Health Club, indoor Group Fitness classes and indoor pools are returning in a limited capacity from Monday 9 November 2020!
The health and safety of our customers and employees remains our highest priority. We will have several measures in place to ensure everyone’s safety in the centre, including a deep clean of the Centre before reopening, requiring booking sessions before arrival, physical distance markers, temperature testing on arrival, regular cleaning of high touch surfaces, and more hand sanitisation stations throughout the Centre.
In line with government restrictions, we ask that you wear a mask while attending the Centre unless you are in the pool or participating in strenuous exercise.
