Mon, 10 Nov 2008 12:48:35 +0000

Work begun this weekend on the construction of the new mezzanine cardio level. The contractors will be trying to work around the existing Cycle class programme to limit the disturbance as much as possible.

New Men’s Changing Room

The new men’s changing room is nearing completion- watch this space!

Please be advised of changes in services in the new changing rooms:

- Costume driers are being installed so plastic bags will no longer be provided

- Shower gel will be provided

- The new lockers will operate with a £1 coin or a trolley coin available for £1 (charity donation) at Reception.

- Please note that whilst work is carried out to install the lift to poolside, access will be via the main stairs.

- Please make sure that you have suitable footwear to use between the changing room and the pool.

Flip flops are available from Reception now at a reduced price of £2

October and November transformation schedule

The New Free Weights Room is now open and fully accessible!

Mezzanine Level
The beginning of work on the mezzanine level starts Monday 20th October. We are unable to create complete enclosure for this phase of works and apologise that the noise transfer will carry across the Main Sports Hall. There will be times when noise will impact more than members may have already experienced so far in the project. We are able to supply ear plugs for members, please speak to a member of the gym staff if you are interested.

New Ladies Changing Room and Cycle Studio
In early November, work starts on constructing the new Ladies Changing Room and the new Cycle Studio both of which are due for completion at the same time.

New Men’s Changing Room
The new Men’s Changing Room will be operating from early November. The pool stairs will be out of action to allow for the installation of the new lift to poolside so access will be via the main stairs.

Thank you for your continued patience as three separate phases of work are now in progress.

Important update for Phase 3

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:04:26 +0100

From Monday 6th October all sports hall floor activities (badminton, short tennis and table tennis) will be suspended in order to prepare for the moving of the cardio equipment and level -3 resistance machines from their existing location in the Cardio Zone onto the Main Sports Hall. This includes for temporary power supplies for the re-located equipment.

The Cardio Zone will be out of action on Wednesday 8th October from 6.30am to 5pm due to engineers moving all the cardio/resistance equipment onto the sports hall floor. This is to enable the work to commence on construction of the new mezzanine level above the existing Cardio Zone floor area.

Cardio and resistance machines will be moved onto the sports hall floor except for the level -2 resistance equipment which will be relocated to make room for the new footbridge linking the -2 level balconies to the new mezzanine floor. Some of the items of equipment currently located on the -2 level balcony will be either removed or relocated within the Club.

The pool, new free weights area and classes will all be open for use on this day.

During the construction of the new mezzanine floor (which will take approx 6 weeks) the climbing wall, current Cardio Zone plasma screens and the TV’s on the treadmills and bikes, Pull Up Bar and Dip Machine will be unavailable. There will also be no weighing scales during this time due to a lack of electrical points.

The nearest water fountain can be found between the new Exercise Studios at Level -2 or in the Mind and Body Studio.

Please note that because this phase of works is in an open area, the noise levels are more difficult to contain. We apologise for the more audible works during this time.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
