Fitness 1 & 2 temporary closed
Due to painting work for the new Spinning Theatre and the new Pole Fitness areas being realized in Fitness 1 & 2, Fitness 1 will be closed temporary from 1 to 7 January and Fitness 2 from 8 to 14 January. These will be available again from week 3 (15 to 21 January), after which the relocation of the Fitness will take place.
Closing of Spinning Theatre and PoleFitness and Access to Hall 2
Due to work on the new passage near the infodesk, the Spinning Theatre and the PoleFitness will not be usable in weeks 2 & 3 (8 to 20 January) resulting in the cancellation of classes in these spaces. Hall 2 will remain accessible during this period from the storage area in Hall 3.
Preparing the New Fitness, Dojo, and Body & Mind Room for Use
During weeks 2 & 3, the sports floors in the Dojo, Fitness, and Body & Mind room will be installed, and the new changing rooms will be set up. The plan is to move Fitness 1, 2, and 3 to the new large Fitness area on the weekend of Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 January, and also place the mats in the new Dojo. In week 4 (22 to 28 January), the final touches such as mirrors, lighting, and sound will be set up in these spaces, and we hope to start using the new Fitness area from the end of this week! Also, from week 4, you can use the new passage from the infodesk to the new changing rooms, Fitness, and Dojo.
Alternative Access to the Swimming Pool
From week 4 to week 11 (22 January to 17 March), the corridor of Hall 2 and the massage room will also be demolished and prepared for construction. This means the swimming pool will temporary only be accessible through the emergency door at the side of the bicycle parking area!
Demolition of Old Fitness, Dojo, Changing Rooms, and Toilets
Between week 5 and week 17 (29 January to 28 April), the toilets and existing Dojo will be demolished to make room for a new passage. During this period, work will also be done to dismantle Fitness 3 and prepare this space for the new group classes room.
Construction of New PoleFitness and Spinning Theatre
After Carnival, we will begin the construction and relocation of the Spinning and PoleFitness to the new spaces above where Fitness 1 & 2 are currently located.
Of course, unforeseen circumstances can always arise, potentially causing slight schedule adjustments. We will communicate these changes in due time. Keep an eye on our social media and website for the latest updates regarding the renovation!
Furthermore, we understand that this all may cause inconveniences, but we are immensely grateful for your cooperation and understanding. Thank you for your flexibility and patience as we strive for a renewed and improved SSC for us all!
