Christmas Opening Hours

by 2 Comments

As we’re heading for the Christmas Period here’s a quick update about our upcoming opening hours.

In order to give our hardworking Trustees, Volunteers and Staff a break with their families over the festive period, we will be closed between Christmas and New Year.

We will be open for our usual hours until the end of December 23rd when we will close at 8:15pm. We’ll be closed on Christmas Eve and then remain closed throughout Christmas until the New Year.

We reopen on Monday January 4th when normal hours resume again.

Very best wishes for a wonderful Christmas!

The Leisure Centre is Closed for the Foreseeable Future

Following on from the government advice given earlier this evening we see no option other than to close Penistone Leisure Centre as of tomorrow (Tuesday 17th March) to protect the people in our community.

We don’t have all the answers straight away but were trying to put together plans to help you all stay fit and healthy!

There will be more details to follow in the next couple of days. We hope we will be able to work with others in the community over the next few months and hope that our volunteers and users will join in the community effort of looking after each other.

Please note: Staff and Volunteers will be working hard to answer enquiries as soon as possible. Please bear with us at this testing time.

Changes to Gym Timetable

We’ve had to have a swap around of gym opening hours to accommodate a change to staffing and new commitments upcoming at the centre.

Please note the following changes-

  • Wednesdays 4-6pm Gym session has been cancelled, as is the after school skate session.
  • Thursday Mornings Gym session now starts at 8am-12noon
  • Friday we have a new extra Gym session from 1-3pm

We are always on the lookout for more volunteers to allow us to extend the opening hours of our gym- could you help? Contact Nikki on [email protected] for more information about how to volunteer with us. We’d love to be able to carry on with our Thursday Morning early session? Are you an early bird? Could you volunteer 6-8am?

Please see our new gym opening hours poster, and SHARE with any gym goers you know!

Attention Gym Early Birds!

Welcome to new gym volunteers! Plus time changes

We’ve had some new gym volunteers recently – thanks to them all, it means we can keep Penistone Leisure Centre open at the times you want to train.

Woody is now the gym instructor on Wednesday mornings, where the times have changed to 9:30-11:30am. He can do inductions, just turn up and ask at reception.

Dave is the gym instructor at the centre from 2-6pm Fridays and can do inductions. Karl is opening the gym on Fridays from 6-8pm for people who are already inducted.

Thanks also to the skating volunteers who are now opening the gym during skating on Saturdays 12-2pm, Sundays 10am-12 and Wednesdays 4-6pm. No inductions at these times.

See the full list of gym times.

If you would like to see the gym open for more hours, we would love more volunteers – we’ve had requests for early mornings, daytimes and later evenings. All gym volunteers get a free gym pass so they can use the gym any time it is open. You don’t need to be a gym instructor – if you aren’t, people simply have to have inductions at a different time.
