Club changes from 1st November

MORE CLASSES, MORE POOL SLOTS, MORE KIT

The Hogarth Club continues to take an evidence-based, phased approach to reintroducing facilities. The below changes are designed to offer more options for those that want them, whilst still providing spaces and protocols that ensure the Club is safe and welcoming for all, even our more vulnerable members.

We are excited to be making these considered additions to our available facilities from 1st November. Against the backdrop of rising Covid cases, we will be reviewing all measures on a continuous basis.

Please may we remind you of 3 simple things we can all do to make sure everyone feels safe at the Hogarth:

MASKS
Masks are encouraged at the Club when not exercising.

CLEANING
Sanitisation stations are provided throughout the gym, please clean equipment after use

PERSONAL SPACE
Our Studios, Gym, Changing Rooms, Pool and Bar have been reimagined to allow for social distancing Club-wide. Please be respectful of others’ space

 

MORE STUDIO EQUIPMENT

Mats, blocks, swiss balls, Pilates rings and balls as well as hand weights will all return to Studio 2 and be available to use in classes. It’s the responsibility of the member to sanitise any used equipment after use using the cleaning products provided and to put away. Members are welcome to continue bringing in their own equipment from home if they prefer. Our in-house cleaning team will continue to mop the floor and wipe down surfaces in between classes.

MORE POOL SLOTS

From 1st November, we will open up pool slots for 15 minute sessions to help increase capacity and aid those that just want a quick dip! The short-swim lane will be the area nearest the steps for easier, undisturbed access. 

NEW TIMETABLE: MORE CLASSES INDOORS, SPIVI AND LA BARRE RETURN

A new phase at The Hogarth comes with a newly revised timetable. Group Cycle and some HIIT classes will move indoors but continue to be capped in numbers for safety. Spivi Group Cycle makes a come back with Dean on Sundays – find out more here! We also welcome La Barre Ballet back on the timetable every Tuesday morning. The class will be taken by Lead Soloist at English National Ballet for 12 years, Adela Ramirez and will be chargeable at £15 per class payable directly to the teacher. We also have a brand new Group Cycle class with Terry on a Monday morning. Find full class information here.
