COVID UPDATE - 1 DECEMBER 2021 

 I am sure you have all been following the news and are aware of the new   'traffic light' approach that the government will be adopting to manage   Covid-19. This approach is being implemented on the 3rd of December.

In the Red or Orange levels, gyms that do not request proof of vaccination passports will not be able to operate. In the Green level, gyms that do not request proof of vaccination will have capacity restrictions.

To continue operating,   we will need to abide by these rules which means making sure all our members, staff & casual users who are over 12 years old are fully vaccinated.

What does this mean for you: if you want to continue being a member you will need to email us a copy of your vaccine passport, alternatively bring it into the gym during office hours.
 Unfortunately, if we do not receive your vaccine passport by the 3rd of   December we will need to deactivate your key tag until you can give us proof that you are fully vaccinated.

If you do not wish to be vaccinated, unfortunately, you cannot enter the fitness centre, but do get in touch as we do have online group fitness, personal training, and outdoor classes available.

We respect that it is a personal choice to get vaccinated or not, however, to remain open and provide health and fitness for our community vaccinations are the key to us being able to do so.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during these unpredictable times

Please use the hand sanitiser that is attached to the wall to the right of the door.

Please sign in and out on the iPad register. Also, use the covid tracker app.

Don't forget your water bottle and towel. These are important for a good workout and also using a   towel is good gym etiquette

Wear a mask if you need to speak to our staff or other members, or when not exercising. YOU DO NOT   NEED TO WEAR A MASK WHILE EXERCISING

HOW WE CAME ABOUT 

At a public meeting in February 2000, after two years of investigations by the Te Kauwhata Health Awareness Society, a committee of elected persons charged with improving the primary health care of the community, it was resolved to build a Community Fitness Centre.  This Fitness Centre would be added to the facilities at the Te Kauwhata College and would comprise the extension the College gymnasium, resurfacing of the courts with turf and heating the existing 25m swimming pool.  The Te Kauwhata Health Awareness Society was charged with fundraising, design and construction with all the necessary legal requirements of incorporation, registering as a charity and occupation and partnership with the college. Fundraising was ongoing and with some wonderful input from the community the Society was able to raise $1.4 million.  In June 2003 the “Te Kauwhata Community Fitness Centre” officially opened.
