How to access Rhayader Leisure Centre under the 'new normal'

revised centre opening hours (from 10th august)

There will be clear signage showing the routes you are required to take around the centre and areas that are out of use. 

Changing rooms and showers will be unavailable except for those using our swimming pools, once they have openned. Customers are asked to come prepared i.e. beach ready, with swim wear worn under clothing to minimise your time spent in changing rooms.

We can only accept contactless payments.  Please bring change with you if required, for lockers (poolside only) or vending products.

Water fountains will be unavailable, please bring pre-filled water bottles with you.

Our staff will be on hand as always but please remember to respect the social distancing rule when requesting assistance from our team members

All fitness sessions at the centre MUST be booked in advance. 

You will no longer be able to just walk into the centre for your workout.  Please book your session via phone or email. 

Please ensure you arrive for your allotted session on time.  Late entrants will still be required to leave after their booked gym session time which is one hour and will not be permitted to stay longer.  This will allow us time to clean the area before the next session and to allow as many people as possible to use the facility each day.

The gym will have limited numbers in there to give you confidence and space to enjoy your session.

The bookable slots are as follows;

All fitness classes MUST be booked in advance.  

Ideally customers should bring their own mats for classes. If using our centre mats please ensure these are fully sanitised after use. 

Our classes will be taking place in our main hall.  We have reduced maximum customer numbers per class to suit the room.

Our revised group exercise timetable is now available.

• All class equipment will be thoroughly cleaned between sessions.
• Extra time will be allowed in between classes for cleaning.
• Class start times will be staggered to avoid congestion at reception and outside the studios.

As part of our phased return, the swimming pool will reopen on Monday 24th August, we will be updating our social media channels and the website when more information is available.

We have implemented and enhanced our cleaning regime throughout the centre.  All areas will be cleaned regularly.  It is essential that members clean down each machine after use – equipment may not be shared unless it has been cleaned down between uses.

Hygiene stations are available in all high-touch areas offering hand sanitiser and medical-grade disinfectant and sanitising wipes.

Personal gym towels are permitted but please use wipes and paper towels provided when cleaning down equipment and dispose of them after each use.

• Please DO NOT come to the centre if you are feeling unwell.
• Please take responsibility for social distancing measures by adhering to the floor markings and posters and avoid congregating with others before and after classes/sessions.
• Please don’t arrive more than 5 minutes prior to your booking.
• Please ensure you wipe down all equipment before and after use using the sanitisation wipes or spray provided.
• Please leave all valuables at home and only bring your essentials – there will be water bottles available to purchase but no cups will be provided. No cash payments will be taken.
• Please ensure you check in at reception before entry.
• Please be kind.  Respect others and respect our staff who are working hard to ensure all the rules and regulations are followed that will allow us to remain open.
• If you wish to wear a mask to train then please do, we will, however, not be enforcing the wearing of masks
• We would ask members NOT to wear disposable gloves whilst in the facility but to sanitise your hands before/after using each piece of equipment.
