ALERT LEVEL 2 CHANGES

 HERE IS THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HOW WE WILL BE RUNNING OUR FOUR FITNESS CENTRES AT LEVEL 2...

 

Membership re-activation

At level 2 all memberships (and direct debit payments) will be reactivated as of Wednesday 13th May unless we are notified via email to re-hold your membership. 

As per government guidelines, if you are in a high risk category (over 70 years, immune compromised, heart/lung disease etc) we advise you follow govt. recommendations, but the decision is yours to re-hold your membership, this wont be automatically done for you. 

 

Member access 

4am - midnight (no change to your access).  Casual users welcome during staffed hours only.

MEMBERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO SCAN ON EXIT (using the after hours scanner on outside wall by front door)

 

Physical distancing

As per Govt. and Exercise NZ guidelines (these may be updated/ adjusted as time goes on). We are following these recommendations...

- 2m distancing if face to face 

- 1.5m distancing if on an angle (applies more to the weights room and facing others on a diagonal when sitting on a machine)

- 1m distancing when back to back or facing the same way and stationary (cardio, some machines, some classes)

If you are within 1m for less than 4min this is ok (eg passing in the change room corridor, using the stairs, movement to get gear in classes), similar to a supermarket.

 

Questions/ comments and concerns

We love receiving feedback, as reception is a small space, if it is not urgent we would encourage an email to communicate and allow us to keep our space downstairs as clear as possible.

 

 

Other Rules

 

Sweat towels are COMPULSORY.  This is for ALL GYM AREAS, please bring a towel, you will be unable to train or do a class if you do not have one please understand why our staff are asking you to stop training. Towels may be available to hire or purchase.

 

Cleaning - All machines and equipment you use MUST be wiped (as per before lock down) this includes kettle bells, cable handles, resistance bands etc.   We will have more staff on site doing regular detail cleaning throughout the day too.

 

Cardio equipment has been spaced out to follow Govt. and specific Exercise Association of NZ physical distancing guidelines

due to limited walking space in some areas you may have to 'give way'.

 

Weights machines have been spaced out to follow Govt. and specific Exercise Association of NZ physical distancing guidelines.  Some areas will be marked with silver tape to indicate one person at a time in this space.

 

We are currently uploading all programs to your Gymmaster app; the cards will be available for you. Due to the filing cabinet being a high touch area with a lot of people we are awaiting direction if we need to advise members to take their program card with them. We will keep in touch regarding this.

 

Sauna and children's play area at Rangiora Fitness Centre will be closed during level 2 and open in level 1 if govt. guidelines allow

 

Any stairs or ramps will be 2 way and please stick to your right, this allows easy flow from entry and to exit the building also

 

Cafe (Rangiora Fitness Centre) us OPEN with limited food options to begin with. Payware available, eftpos encouraged but cash accepted. Santising will happen in between eftpos transactions.

Pre-ordering is strongly encouraged to save your time an to allow definite service under new guidelines. You will be able to order on the spot, have here (limited seating) and takeaway.

Have here orders we are getting fancy and you will receive table service, please let the team know as you sit that you are wanting to order. There will be signed areas for the takeaway system. 

 

Group Fitness will have specific requirements at each fitness centre so you will need to talk to your centre's staff for more information.  Below are requirements for Rangiora Fitness Centre Group Fitness only...

​

All classes (excluding 1x circuit and 2 x HIIT) will be run in our main group fitness studio. There will be 15 mins between classes to allow time to clean equipment, and have everyone out of the room before the next class enters.

On exiting class (if not using other areas of the gym after class) you will be requested using the upstairs external stairs. This will allow less cross over and congestion.

If you exit via the door you are able to come in the main door to order from the cafe.

We need your help with cleaning equipment you use after each class. 

Shared equipment is a high risk so the following changes are being enforced immediately

• Body Balance/ Yoga /CX Worx - You must BYO mat or you can purchase one of our (clean and sanitised) mats on site for $10. We are unsure how available new stock is for us at the moment, so once what we have is sold we may have restrictions. Mats can be purchased on site and paid at reception. Once purchased mats cannot be kept on site for you.

• Boxfit - due to the closeness needed to do this class the class is cancelled for level 2.

• Boxing gloves - will not be available to be used during this time, by members or trainers. The portable boxing bag is out of action to allow more space in the group fitness studio.

• RPM bikes will be wheeled in and out (by staff) for class

 

Drink Fountain bottle fillers will be in use (please use sanitiser before filling your bottle) the water sipper will be out of use. 

 

Masks are NOT compulsory but you are welcome to wear a mask if you are more comfortable, however they will not be provided.

We are currently waiting for an update from Exercise NZ but at this stage our trainers will be required to wear a mask while with clients; as they are within 1m of people for longer than 4 min

 

New members are welcome, we encourage going to the website to join online but will have ability to sign up new members at reception too.ave a safe system for joining on site
