Turnstiles FAQs

No, within a 4-hour time period, all classes / racket bookings will be automatically checked in when you scan your Membership Card at the turnstiles. If your activity is more than 4 hours after your arrival, you will need to exit and re-enter through the turnstiles. 

If you want to use the Fitness Suite and / or Swimming Pool as well as classes / racket sports then please check-in for the Fitness suite / Swimming Pool first, and then scan your Membership Card at the turnstiles. 

No. Your check-in will provide access to the changing rooms during your visit to the Club. 

No, Fitness Yard sessions will behave in the same way as our other classes and will automatically check you in whilst giving you access through the Fitness Suite door.

There will not be a time limit for checked in activity access. Once you check-in, you will be able to access the relevant areas on that day.

Access through activity doors will be restricted to the number of swipes. For example, we will allow for two changing room swipes against one changing room check in.

Yes. Studios will not be time restricted. You can enter the activity space as soon as it becomes available. 

If your guest has not attended Bluecoat Sports before, then we will first need to add their details onto the system.

After this, we will issue your guest a temporary pass. 

If your guest will be attending regularly, then we would ask them to register for a free PAYGO membership via our Online Booking here. Once they have done this, Reception can issue them with a permanent Membership Card to access the facilities. 

Anyone with a live, valid membership (including PAYGO / PAYGO+) will be able to enter through the turnstiles at all times by swiping their membership card.

Anyone without a live membership will need to visit Reception who will be able to grant you a temporary pass to access the Club. If you will be attending regularly, then we would ask them to register for a free PAYGO membership via our Online Booking here. Once they have done this, Reception can issue them with a permanent Membership Card to access the facilities. 

If you are more than 5 minutes late, you will not be allowed to take part in the activity and there will be a penalty fee issued.

Beyond 5 minutes of the start time, the warm up will be finished and therefore you cannot safely participate in the activity. 

To contest a penalty, contact us on BCSPenalties@christs-hospital.org.uk

Please visit Reception, where a temporary access pass can be provided.
