Tweedbank Sports Centre Gym

The Tweedbank Sports Centre gym is reopen. 

We are excited to welcome you back to our facility and to make sure your visit is as safe as possible when we reopen. Initial opening will be under reduced hours to ensure your safety and measure demand, but we hope to extend hours going forward.

We have put new hygiene measures in place in line with Coronavirus regulations which we have rolled out across our other sites. Your cooperation, along with the safety measures and all the efforts from our staff, will help keep Tweedbank gym safe for everyone.

The video at the bottom of this email details the safety procedures we have put in place across our facilities, what you can do to prepare for your visit, and what to expect while you’re at the facility. Please take time to familiarise yourself with our new measures and some changes we have made.

The gym will be split across the current gym space and fitness studio to ensure social distancing requirements are met.

Please note, when checking-in for your gym session please use the reception area in the Bowls Hall. Our normal office check-in  will be used for pitch/track bookings and to allow us for additional social distancing.  

We are currently working on an alternate fitness class offering for Tweedbank users. More news on this will be announced soon.
