Getting a grip on clean…

We are so excited to be welcoming everyone back through our doors!

Throughout the pandemic we have taken a cautious approach. Health is our business and we are acutely aware of all the things that impact on it. We have always kept our gym well ventilated and sanitised, even prior to this pandemic. We have also always had hand sanitiser freely available and anyone who turns up for a workout feeling under the weather is gently sent home to rest.

We have many members that would be classed as vulnerable, just normal women really trying to improve their health and reduce their risk of preventable disease. We have been considering those first when making plans to navigate through this pandemic. We want everyone to feel safe and confident when they come to workout, and for us that goes beyond just an extensive cleaning regime.

Our workout is designed to be accessible and super convenient. At just 30 minutes it easily slots into your day, with no set start times you can just arrive and get going! Last year we found that introducing a booking system hindered that natural flow and so we wanted to reopen without the booking system while still being certain we could keep everyone safe.

By their nature gyms have a lot of touch points and we have found a solution to reduce those, while maintaining the simplicity and accessibility of our workout. All our members will be using Sterigrips for their workouts, keeping themselves safe and everyone else.

The Sterigrips mean that everyone has their “own touchpoint” that travels around the gym with them. This allows for Coaches to do what they are best at… Coaching YOU, AND still keep on top of sanitising the rest of the touch points in the gym throughout the day. The grips are a simple solution, that really work. You can watch Coach Dannii’s introduction video here for all the info on getting to grips with Sterigrips!

These two things – the Sterigrips and no need for booking – mean we are anticipating a relatively “normal” feel in the gym from next week. Our Coaches will be handling the numbers on the circuit so distance is maintained for everyone, in favour of those who still need to protect themselves and loved ones. You may experience a short wait time at the busiest times and while everyone settles into their new routines but we anticipate this will be minimal. Any wait times are outweighed by the simple joy of having an easy to manage flow of footfall, seeing you all in person and being able to workout again amongst friends.

(Sterigrips are available for members in the gym at a specially discounted rate, but if you’re not a member and would love to have these ingenious things for your own use about town you can order yours here!)

For anyone not yet ready to return to the gym we are still continuing our At-home workout program with Coaching available tailor made through our pick and mix options. To enable to serve all of you the best we have changed the gym opening times temporarily. Our new hours are;
