COVID-19 Member updates and information

This page will be updated regularly. Please bookmark it and visit often.

The safety and wellbeing of our members, their families, and our staff and volunteers is of the utmost importance to us. For now, our facilities are temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 situation, however we are committed to supporting our members during these uncertain times.

Payment plans

All ClassForKids and Glofox members should have received an email advising that no payments will be taken from 1 April 2020 onwards, unless otherwise instructed.  We have been bowled over by those of you who’ve offered to continue supporting us during the shutdown. We really do have the best members!

ETKO E-Training

We have developed a range of virtual solutions to keep you active during the shutdown. These include:

  • ETKO E-Training progressive programmes in various disciplines
  • ETKO E-Daily closed Facebook groups offering tips, information and advice
  • Live online fitness classes via Zoom, with options for children, teens and adults. Look out for a new six-week block of classes for members of our girls gymnastics and wrestling programmes, starting w/c 17 August!
