A message to our Elite Fitness community

It is with a heavy heart that we’ve had to shut our doors for the foreseeable future. This is undoubtably a difficult time for many and as a small family run independent gym we face an uncertain future.

However, we recognize the seriousness of the situation in the country right now and understand difficult decisions are necessary to help stop the spread of this terrible virus. We fully support this decision and recognise that we must play our part. The sooner we all follow the guidance and advice of the government and health professionals the sooner we can return to normality.

We cannot thank everyone enough who has visited us over the last few weeks, all our amazing members and the brilliant reaction of our staff for all the effort in helping us create a clean, safe & secure environment. In times like this it’s great to see how our community has pulled together.

We’ve already received so many messages of support, it’s been quite overwhelming. Elite is more than just a gym, to many of you it’s much much more than that. So many of you have already expressed your support for us by continuing to cover your memberships and today we start work on securing the long term future of the gym.

We will do everything in our power to make sure that when we start to beat this virus we are here for you as you have been for us. It’s never been more important for us all to pull together and we ask that you stand by, not just us, but all small local businesses.

You will be receiving an email outlining your options with regards to your memberships. Please do not cancel your direct debits with the bank as this doesn’t stop the process of requesting payment and will result in an avoidable default process including penalty charges which we know will add further distress for you as well as create an additional work load for all the team. Please follow the instructions outlined in your email and together we can make this much smoother experience.

If you are able to continue paying your membership we’ll be eternally grateful. We’re not a national corporation, like all small business owners we are members of this community and at times like this we must pull together, one thing is for sure and that is we will repay your support and loyalty once we have more certainty over our future.

Starting with our first ever LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP. Everyone who helps us through the foreseeable future by keeping their membership active will be placed into a draw and when we reopen we’ll pick one person who will never have to pay a penny in membership again.

We are eternally grateful to you all and look forward to beating this virus and seeing you all back as soon as possible.

​Jake, Aaron and the entire team at Elite we wish you well.
