From early June, we will be introducing turnstiles at Reception and access controls on activity doors. The turnstiles are being introduced for a number of reasons:
- Have a better record of how many people are visiting the club, when and in most cases why,
- Complete membership checks on all users and support a very busy reception desk by automatically checking users into their classes,
- Support Christs Hospital School in their efforts to improve CH Student safeguarding.
To allow for the turnstiles to be installed, there will be periods of disruption in the Reception area from the end of May. Every effort will be made to reduce the impact of this on your experience, but nevertheless we would like to thank you in advance for your patience.
This disruption will include closing at 9pm on Tuesday 26th May to allow for the start of the installation process.
Once the turnstiles are in place and switched on, the following changes to how you check in will apply. Until this time, please continue to check in as you already are.
Checking in for a Class
When scanning your membership card at the turnstiles, you will automatically be checked in for your class. You no longer need to visit Reception and can go straight to your activity area. Your activity area will also have a scanner at the door, which will allow you in if you are booked onto that activity.
Checking in for the Fitness Suite
Check-in for the Fitness Suite will continue to operate as it does now; by checking in at Reception, who will grant your card access to the Fitness Suite.
Checking in for the Swimming Pool
When swimming, you will now need to check-in with Reception who will grant your card access to the changing rooms.
Checking in for a racket booking (inside Bluecoat Sports)
When scanning your membership card at the turnstiles, if the court booking is in your name, you will automatically be checked in for your racket booking. You no longer need to visit Reception.
You do not need to check-in for Padel.
Swim Academy & Gymnastics
All Swim Academy, Gymnastics and Parent and Guardian members will require a membership card to seamlessly gain access through the turnstiles. If you do not have a membership card, this will be assigned to you. Further information will follow in the coming weeks.
PAYGO / PAYGO+ or member guests
If you have either of these memberships, or are a guest of a member, you will need to check-in with Reception for all activities, who will then grant you access via the turnstiles.
If you forget your membership card, or require anything further, please visit our Receptionists, who will be available to assist you.
If you have any questions, please do get in touch via info@bluecoatsports.co.uk.
