Our latest update

We know you can’t wait to get back to the Club and in particular our Group Exercise Classes.

We have received lots of questions about how these will work with the tier 2 restrictions in place when we reopen on 3rd December.

We are pleased to confirm that our Group Exercise Classes can continue in exactly the same way as before the second lockdown.

Each studio has the floor marked, with individual exercise spaces, to ensure we are operating in a Covid secure way.

In addition, where possible, classes will also be available via Zoom, as previously.

We look forward to seeing you.

Following the government’s latest announcement, we are really pleased that our Health Club and Spa will reopen on Thursday 3rd December 2020, at 6.30am.

In the meantime, if you have any questions for us, please email on enquiries@riverhills.co.uk.

We will, of course, continue to operate in the COVID-secure way we were, and we can’t wait to see you again!

Once again, thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Keep well and stay safe.
With best wishes the Riverhills team.

Following the Government’s latest announcement, our Health Club and Spa will be closed from 10pm on Wednesday 4^th November 2020 and we hope to reopen on Thursday 3^rd December 2020.

Club Membership

As previously we will not be taking any subscription payments during November 2020 and we will review the situation on-going.

This means that if you pay monthly by Direct Debit, your payment will not be called.

If you have paid an annual subscription, your term will be extended by the time lost.

While we are closed, we will be running group exercise classes via “Zoom” and these will commence on Thursday 5^th November 2020. See https://www.riverhills.co.uk/health-club/fitness-classes for details.

Day Spa, Beauty and Hair

If you have bookings, we will be in touch to reschedule these for you and any vouchers will be extended by the same period we are closed for.

When we were forced to close earlier this year and subsequently reopen in a Covid-secure way, your support was overwhelming, and we are all very appreciative of that.

Please keep watching our social media and website for updates.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support; we look forward to seeing you again very soon.

Keep well and stay safe.

With best wishes the Riverhills team.

Update on 30th July 2020

It’s almost time for us to reopen our doors on 3rd August and we can’t wait to see you again!

We are closely following government guidelines and are also working with the industry body UKActive to provide a safe environment. As you will appreciate, the guidelines keep being updated, so here are revised details of how we will operate in a Covid-secure way.

• Please keep social distancing in mind at all times and leave plenty of space between yourself and other members and guests. Please be patient, polite and observe all notices.

We’re working hard to get our Health Club ready to reopen and can’t wait to welcome our members and guests back on 3^rd August.

We are closely following government guidelines and are also working with the industry body UKActive to provide a safe environment.

The safety of our members, our guests and our team members is our number one priority. Some things will look a little different and we will, of course, be incorporating extensive cleaning protocols and social distancing practices throughout the Club to keep you safe and at ease.

How we’re keeping you safe

• Please do not come to the Club if you feel unwell and let us know if you or anyone in your household develops Covid-19 symptoms.
• Hand sanitiser is provided on entry and all members and guests are temperature screened.
• Please keep social distancing in mind at all times and leave plenty of space between yourself and other members and guests. Please be patient, polite and observe all notices.
• Help keep yourself and others safe by wiping down equipment before and after use and washing your hands frequently.
• We have enhanced cleaning regimes, using a viricidal disinfectant cleaning solution, proven effective against Covid-19, including regular “fogging” of the gym and other areas.
• Our changing rooms are open, however, where possible, for now, please arrive “gym / swim-ready” and if you can avoid using this area, it will be a great help.
• Where possible, group exercise classes will take place outdoors and some indoor classes will have reduced occupancy.
• Numbers will be slightly limited in certain areas. Please help by being aware of the length of time you use equipment, so everybody can continue to exercise.
• A maximum of 12 bathers will be permitted in the swimming pool at any time.
• Unfortunately, the sauna and steam rooms will not be in use, for now.
• We will be offering a slightly reduced menu and eating on poolside will not be allowed for now. However, you will still be able to order and eat in our restaurant, bar or outside on the terrace or in the gardens.
• Please bring your own towel, yoga mat and water bottle, and remember, water fountains should only be used to fill bottles.

Your help, patience and cooperation is very much appreciated to help keep Riverhills a safe and enjoyable place to exercise and relax.

Remember, fight the virus by boosting your immune system, by staying healthy and active.
