10. Will you be installing turnstiles?

12. Will we still be able to use the sauna’s during the changing rooms being done
- Yes, the saunas will remain unaffected
- Temporary crèche closure
-
Unfortunately we will need to close the crèche between 10th July to 14th October as we will not be able to use the studio for our crèche service and therefore we will not be able to provide childcare as we currently do.
We are extremely sorry for this disruption and I can assure you we have done everything we can to keep it to a minimum.
If this temporary arrangement results in you not being able to access classes or the gym, please let reception know and they can arrange for your membership to be frozen during this period.
Thank you for your continued support.
