Friday 31st January – Leisure Services Update
We hope you are keeping well following the recent storm. First, we want to extend our sincere thanks to all our partners and contractors for their tireless efforts in getting us to this stage. We’d also like to provide you with an update on the current situation at Helensburgh Leisure Centre and our plans moving forward.
We are pleased to let you know that fitness classes will resume on Monday 3rd February at The Victoria Halls. Please see the above drop-down menu for full details on timetables and bookings.
We are working tirelessly to find a solution for gym access. Unfortunately, no swimming pool access is currently possible but we will aim to provide an update as circumstances allow. Membership payments have been frozen and will remain so for the time being. You will not be charged, and we will provide notice before payments resume.
Monday 27th January – Helensburgh Leisure Centre Update
Thank you for your messages of support over the last few days. Like yourselves, we were heartbroken to see the damage to the facility on Friday night.
We are working closely with our Council partners, and will update you on timescales for repairs as soon as we have a full damage report. We are working hard to find an alternative gym and fitness class provision, and will update all members as soon as we have information available on that.
There is no requirement to cancel your membership/direct debits, as we have placed an immediate freeze all Helensburgh memberships – this includes Family, Single, Concession, Junior and Swimming Lessons.
