*Work in progress of the gym roof refurb
Blowing the roof off! Further Improvement Plans and Member Feedback
We are pleased to share several important updates regarding the gym, including a new access system, plans to improve the facilities and a new feedback form for members.
The Ceiling - Improvement Works
You may have noticed over the last few weeks the gym suspended ceiling has now been removed along with the insulation above.
This is part one of the improvement works, there are further plans to paint the exposed joists, rewire and re-work the lights and fixtures.
This work is ongoing and will be completed over the next few months, if anyone is free to lend a hand as always do get in touch!
New QR Code Access System
The new QR code system has now been in place for over a month with a lot of members already migrating.
As of the 21st of September the old card swipe system will be disabled, all future access with be controlled via QR code.
If you are yet to migrate over, please check your emails or contact info@aldwinians.co.uk.
We have also installed a secondary access reader on the internal doors leading into the gym. This additional security measure will help ensure that the facilities are only being used by paying members and those authorised to use the club gym, this will again go live on the 21st of September.
Gym Improvement Team
A dedicated team has now been established to begin developing proposals and plans for improving the gym.
The team will review the current condition of the facilities, identify priorities and explore realistic options for making improvements. As a community-focused organisation, we understand that larger changes may take time, but there are several immediate improvements we are hoping to complete as quickly as possible.
Our initial quick wins include:
A general tidy-upof the gym and surrounding areas - In Progress
Repairing or replacing the damaged roof - In Progress
Repainting the gym area - Pending
Dedicated storage for additional equipment - In Discussions
These improvements will form the first stage of a wider plan to modernise the gym and provide a better facility for all members. Inital works outlined above started thanks to our very succesful volunteer days, we hope to have more of these in future so please do come along!
Have Your Say
Member feedback will play an important role in shaping the future of the gym.
We have created a feedback form where members can share their thoughts about the current facilities, highlight any issues and suggest improvements they would like to see.
We would encourage everyone who uses the gym to complete the form. Whether your feedback relates to equipment, cleanliness, security, accessibility or future improvements, we would like to hear from you.

Thank you to all our members for their continued support and cooperation while these changes are introduced. We look forward to sharing further updates as the improvement work progresses.
