Corona update

CORONAVIRUS COVID-19 UPDATE: We are here for you...

Firstly we wanted to let you know that the Club remains open for all members who aren’t vulnerable and choose to come. We’d like to thank everyone for following our STOP transmission strategy (you’re being amazing) which we want you to continue with, as well as maintaining a sensible space between one another, in line with the recent government distancing approach. On this basis, the majority of members can continue to enjoy the benefits of exercise which include boosting your immunity as well as the positive psychological effects we know exercise gives us.

Of course, for those that are needing to self-isolate, we wish to extend a free freeze of your membership - even for a 14 day period. If this is you, then please do email membership@thehogarth.co.uk. There is no need to provide any proof, your word will, of course, suffice.

There is the likelihood that in the coming weeks, more of our members will need to self-isolate. We believe that home deliveries will be in short supply and we believe we can help by deploying some of our younger staff to collect provisions and deliver them to your door. One port of call (for those in self-isolation and members using the Club) is from our own Crucial Cafe who have set up a new delivery service. Please do support them during this time. More packages will be on-line from Thursday. Get in touch with the team here.

In addition, we are currently setting up a Hogarth Helpers team including a Facebook Community Group who we will deploy to look after vulnerable members of any age who need our support. Find our Hogarth Helpers Group on Facebook here and/or email hogarth.helpers@thehogarth.co.uk and we will make sure we’re in contact and can help arrange food essential delivery (deliveries are getting trickier by the day)/ pick up prescriptions/ phone calls and similar over the coming weeks.

Finally, we are putting together new opportunities for outdoor exercise classes. In the interim, don't forget we now have the outdoor gym area...
