Bishop Burton Gym

Bishop Burton College's​ Centre for Sport and Fitness is RE-OPENING!

We have been working with industry and government guidance to ensure when we re-open our facilities, we comply with their requirements to be COVID secure. We are now pleased to announce that we are planning to re-open our Gym at Bishop Burton on Tuesday 1st September 2020.

We have implemented a number of changes to ensure the safety of our customers and staff. These include:

• Re-opening to members only
• Reception screen and social distancing floor markings
• One-way system throughout the building
• Hand sanitiser available at key locations throughout the facility including on entry in the Reception area
• Limiting the number of gym users at any one time, this would mean the need to pre-book all activities (including gym sessions) either by phone or email 01964 553111 sports.reception@bishopburton.ac.uk
• Gym sessions limited to 45 minutes in duration to start on the hour, allowing 15 minutes for cleaning equipment after use and safe changeover between sessions
• Some gym equipment has been taken out of use to enable social distancing to take place
• Cleaning materials are provided, and any equipment used needs to be cleaned before and after use
• Please bring your own filled water bottle, although there is a water dispenser available for refills
• Changing rooms, showers and lockers remain closed initially therefore, gym users must arrive changed and ready
• Toilet capacity has been limited to ensure social distancing can take place
• We operate a cashless payment system and encourage contactless payment where possible
• Adjusting opening hours to allow for deep cleaning and sanitisation to take place in addition to regular cleaning throughout the day in key areas and touch points
• In order to support NHS test and trace a record of all visitors to the facility will be kept
• Our terms and conditions have been updated to include requirements due to COVID-19, on your first visit returning to the gym you will be asked to confirm your agreement to the amended terms, a copy of the changes is attached for your reference in advance
• Memberships will be re-activated with Direct Debits resuming from 1st September 2020.
