RE-OPENING INFORMATION

PLYMOUTH

OPENING HOURS

Mon-Fri 0600 – 2100

Sat-Sun 0800 – 1400 

CAPACITY / BOOKING

As recommended by the government and UK Active, the maximum occupancy of each indoor facility should be limited by providing a minimum of 100sqft per person. Due to the size of our facilities we have decided to impose our own cap of 40 members on site at any one time, even though this is below the number we are permitted according to the guidelines. This will ensure there is ample space for everyone to train and move around.

To guarantee your space in the club please book on the App or online.  (All members that have continued there subscriptions have been given priority as a thank you).  Alternatively please come to reception when convenient. We will monitor the number of people on site through our membership system. If  we reach our capacity of 40, you may be asked to wait until a person leaves.

ATTENDING / SIGNAGE / GYM LAYOUT

All clubs have been laid out in a socially distanced manner.  Please follow the guidelines on the signage within the club in each area.  Most importantly if you have any symptoms or have been in contact with someone who has signs or symptoms of Covid-19 do NOT come to the club until you are been cleared.

CHANGING ROOMS / SHOWERS

The Government have advised to ‘encourage attendees to arrive at the facility in sports kit and where possible to travel home to change/shower’.  Please adhere to this where possible.

Changing rooms, showers and lockers will be open for essential use only.

TOILETS

Toilets will also be in use, but  please pay extra attention to hygiene after using the toilets. Hands must be washed before entering the toilet.

CLASSES

For the first week there will be limited classes operating.  The timetable will adjust daily as we ramp up as we learn what we can and can’t offer.   Please be patient with us as we go through this process  – our priority is to make sure everyone is safe.
