Whilst we fully believe we are offering a safe service, the news of the new national lockdown is a shame, but we need to protect our community, as such we must temporarily close our centres until restrictions are lifted.
We have been encouraged by the number of people that have visited us over the past few weeks to exercise and stay fit, thank you to you all for coming back to us to stay active. One highlight form the past few weeks has been the outdoor class offer, which have been hugely attended and enjoyed by the community. Im sure you will agree the service we deliver has been safe and enjoyable and this has been shown through the reactions of our teams and customers and the great deal of positive feedback we receive.
For all customers with a membership/subscription, we will automatically freeze it and you do not need to do anything further;
Please note; If you are a Direct Debit customer, when we reopen and reinstate your membership, we will ensure the closure period is discounted from your next payment. You will not lose any day’s membership.
If you have a Direct Debit, your payment will be suspended and no payments taken until the facilities re-open.
If you have reinstated your membership or have a swimming lesson subscription and your Direct Debit normally goes out of your bank on the 1st of the month (or next working day i.e. 2nd January), a payment will have been processed for January as we cannot suspend in time. Upon reopening we will ensure you receive the next month with no further payment. All future payments are frozen until we reopen.
If you have an annual, pre-paid membership it will be automatically extended to cover the closure period once we re-open.
The volume of enquiries that come in through our communication channels once again are larger than normal as such we ask that you do bear with us. We urge any enquiries to be directed to us via email rather than the phones info@ocll.co.uk.
To every single one of you, a final message to stay safe, healthy and that we are looking forward to reopening our doors again very soon.

Scenarios
Customer turns up to go into the gym at 11am and asks if there is space on the evening 6pm pump class – concierge says ‘yes’ and tells the customer they can book it on the app or, if quiet, at reception.
Customer turns up to do a HIIT class 6:30pm and swipes in at reception and asks if the pool is free, the next session for the pool starts at 7:15pm – 8:15pm, the receptionist sees they have only booked the one session and then informs them ‘yes’ they can attend any time FROM 7:15pm after they have done their Yoga.
Customer at home in the morning books a gym session for that day at 5pm and a swim at 7:15pm – this is fine
Customer finishes a Zumba class at 6pm and comes out and wants to book a spin that starts at 6:15pm that her friend is doing, if reception/concierge is quiet they can book them in and they can go in or the customer can jump on the app and book themselves.
The sessions booked on that day have had up to 8 days for customers to book so the spaces are not in demand and we should let people take advantage of them on the day.
Yes
There are also scenarios when you are permitted to remove a face covering:
