For a few months now we have been working with ClubRight® which creates apps for Fitness clubs like ourselves. The reason we have decided to make this change is to make it much easier and quicker for you as a member to access the range of services we provide.

As a member, you will be able to access a unique QR code that will replace your membership card which means you no longer need to remember to bring your access card. Unless you forget to bring your phone that is.

You will also be able to book onto our courts, small gym, Fitzone and Spinning through the app as well as see our kids/coaching availability throughout the week. We are even going to bring you the ability to book in with your coach, who can help you with your chosen fitness goals.

Joining and rejoining our membership couldn't be easier. With the ability to fully control your membership by making amendments when necessary without the hassle of signing never-ending forms.

It doesn't stop there! Over the course of the year, we will be drip-feeding new features to the app, but more on that later.
As this is a new process for us and there is still lots of behind the scenes admin to do, we will be slowly transferring you to the new system. To make this transition slowly we will be transferring our annual memberships first and then we will notify Direct Debit payers of a few options on how to switch over. Those who see an email from us or ClubRight feel free to log in to the new app but you may find a few features like the QR codes, online Shop and bookings not fully functioning yet, once the app is live we will notify you via the app.

Keep an eye on your emails and once logged in have a play.

FreeMotion® comes to the CCC

I can finally reveal the fantastic news that the Castle Country Club will be partnering up with FreeMotion® to give you the most state-of-the-art gym the Castle Country Club has ever seen.

In August the gym will be torn apart and replaced fully, with the latest cardio and resistance machines from FreeMotion®. That's right, absolutely everything in the gym is being replaced. 

“THE ONLY INTERACTIVE CONNECTED CARDIO EXPERIENCE FOR FITNESS FACILITIES”

"Freemotion announces the global launch of its brand-new iFIT®-powered 22 SERIES – a revolutionary full cardio range that provides the first truly interactive, connected fitness experience for commercial fitness facilities. By seamlessly integrating best-in-class product design and industry-leading, on-demand, digital content, users experience an immersive and personalized virtual training like never before." - FreeMotion

Our team went out to see this kit in action and I can't tell you how excited we are about the kit you will be able to get your hands on very soon. Each cardio machine will be fitted with a 21-inch iFIT screen which is one of the best visuals I have ever seen. Key features are:

• Powered by iFIT, the premiere interactive connected fitness platform
• Tens-of-thousands of immersive and interactive, on-demand iFIT global and studio workouts at the touch of a button
• World-class iFIT content completely free of charge to the operator and exerciser with the purchase of the Freemotion 22 SERIES
• Olympic, professional athletes and world-renowned trainers to coach each session.
• Interactive equipment that auto-adjusts to match the terrain displayed on-screen and on trainer command.
• Workouts available in multiple languages

Your new cardio section will house two Stairmasters, treadmills, cross trainers, bikes, new rowing machines, ski ergs and bike ergs to give you everything you will ever need to get that cardio fix.

On the resistance side of the gym, we have listened and fully understand the difficulty of space and the lack of decent equipment to get the best out of your workouts. 

We totally agreed with you all. So, we are going to make the relevant changes needed and replace every resistance machine, every bench with the best resistance machines on the market. You will also see more bars, weights plates, specialist bars and even more dumbbells to make your workouts even more specific to your needs. 

Now there isn't any point in replacing every bit of equipment without upgrading the floor properly. So, to that end, the gym floor will be changed to a gym-grade wood flooring and rubber matting in our resistance areas to help to reduce noise.

The rubber matting will also have dedicated weightlifting platforms to give you the space needed to perform your workouts safely.  

 Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing more details about the new kit that will be arriving in August.
