WHEN WILL RHC REOPEN?

As per Government confirmation, we reopened on  Monday 12th April 2021! Our extended opening hours will now be 5am-10pm Weekdays and 6am-8pm Weekends. 

 

WILL ALL FACILITIES BE OPEN? 

Our Gym, Swimming Pool, Jacuzzi and Sun Bed will reopen on the 12th April 2021. Our group exercise classes will resume from the 17th May 2021. Following Government guidelines our Saunas and Steam Rooms will remain closed and at this time children’s swim at the weekend will be postponed until further notice. 

 

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE SINCE THE COMPULSORY CLOSURE?

We have been working extremely hard throughout the compulsive closure to ensure that RHC offers the safest environment for our staff and members. We have carried out an extensive deep clean and will continue the highest standards of cleanliness once reopen with increased sanitising, both by hand and with an on-site fogging machine. Our Gym equipment has been re-spaced to allow for social distancing and numerous hand-sanitising stations have been installed. The new gym layout hosts a one-way system to eliminate unnecessary contact and PPE sneeze guards have been erected at our reception area. At RHC we host a fresh air Air-Conditioning system, which carries out a continuous air change and is the only ventilation system approved by the UK Government. 

 

Along with COVID Prevention preparation we have also spent the time improving our current offering by giving the Gym a brand new look, fully renovating the Ladies showers and changing facilities and installing a brand new coffee/shake bar and lounge. 

​

ARE NEW MEMBERS WELCOME?

Yes! We do currently have membership availability. New members are welcome to visit anytime from the 12thApril for a no-obligation look around.

WILL I NEED TO BOOK TO ATTEND CLASSES OR SWIMMING?

Following Government guidelines it is advised that members should arrive ready for their workout and avoid using the changing facilities and showers whenever possible. With this in mind our changing rooms and shower facilities will be open to members that need to use them. 

 

We will no longer be able to hold personal belongings such as car keys at reception and therefore it is highly recommended that members use the lockers provided. Don’t forget your padlock for the male lockers and one pound coin for the ladies! Any lost property will be held for one day before being disposed of. 

 

AM I REQUIRED TO SANTITISE EQUIPMENT? 

All members MUST collect a bottle of surface sanitiser & J-Cloth from reception upon arrival to sanitise equipment before & after use. This bottle should be carried on your persons throughout your visit to avoid any double handling of the surface sanitiser bottles. When leaving, your bottle should be returned to reception and Cloth disposed of in the bin near by. Your bottle will then be sanitised by a member of staff and redistributed with a new Cloth. Failure to comply with this rule may result in your membership being suspended.
