Manager's Message

Happy June to all of our members and guests.

It has been a rather warm summer already (apart from the last couple of days) and the outdoor pool has been busy as per usual.  We have had a lot going on in the club the last few weeks ranging from our Fitness Instructor Conor’s 8 week Shred to an extra Pilates class every week. 

We at Roko hope that as the warm summer days approach, you are all still engaging with the gym and working to reach your personal goals. And don’t forget that our gym staff will always be here to help you along the way.

Best Wishes and have a lovely June.

Julie Bowley and your Roko team

Fitness News

Gym Floor News - 8 Week Shred

A very well done to members of the 8 week shred that is happening in the gym at the moment, they are half way through and have already lost a combined weight of 45 kilograms! Amazing!

Wattbike


Keep an eye out on the gym floor over the coming months for news on a Wattbike demonstration that you as members will be able to get involved with. 
This demonstration will involve testing out new bikes and will be led by a Wattbike instructor coming into the club.

Healthy Hydration
Water is a life essential, it makes up on average 60% of body weight in men and 50-55% in women.  Water has many functions in the body including regulating temperature, transporting nutrients and compounds in the blood and removing waste products.  It also acts as a lubricant and shock absorber for the joints. To avoid dehydration we need to replace fluid that is lost regularly with fluids from food and drinks.  Fluid doesn’t have to be just water from the tap; we can get it from other drinks too such as tea, coffee, milk, fruit juices as well as food.

When we don’t get enough fluids over time the body becomes dehydrated and this has a negative effect on both our mental and physical function. You can use the colour of your urine to determine if you are dehydrated – if urine is straw or pale coloured then you are hydrated, if it’s darker you probably need to drink more fluid.

The amount of fluid you need depends on many things including the weather and how much physical activity you do.  The Eatwell Guide suggests 6-8 glasses of fluid per day. If the weather is hot or you are exercising you may need to drink more fluid.

Drinking fluids before exercise is a good idea and obviously drinking at intervals throughout exercise too.  If exercising for more than an hour drinks that contain sodium (salt) and some sugars such as sports drinks may be better at replacing the extra fluid lost through sweat.

We have a wide range of Lucozade Sports drinks and FitWater available from our vending machines in both of our men and women’s changing rooms.

HotPod News

- J U N E -

Ever hopeful for a flaming hot June! Whatever the weather, we are always a toasty 37 degrees in the pod.

Working your body in the heat can really help with flexibility, and there are  lots of reasons why we want to keep a mobile body. 

Whether you are unwinding from hours in a car or at a desk, or just ironing yourself out after a long bike ride… yoga will help massively.

(And no, you don’t have to be flexible to start yoga!)

 

 

This month we have a special Yoga Nidra workshop on Saturday 29th June at 1230-2pm:  the most calm and peaceful 90 minutes you might ever spend!

It is a really accessible meditation practise, think of it like that deep relax before you drop off to sleep.   It is open to everyone, and it’s a great stress buster.

Our workshop is on  S a t u r d a y  2 9 t h  J u n e,  1 2 : 3 0  –  2 : 0 0 p m
