How Your Membership Fees Help

Prepare For Pre Opening

As we work toward the official opening, there are several important areas we’re investing in to make sure that your experience is seamless and enjoyable from day one. Here's how your fees are contributing to the setup process:

 

• Insurance: A crucial aspect of any business is ensuring that both the facility and its members are fully protected. The membership fees help fund the insurance coverage that ensures the safety of the building, equipment, and all members using the space. This includes liability insurance in case of accidents and property insurance to cover any potential damages.

 

• Technology and Computers: To provide smooth operations, we are investing in computers and technology systems that will support member inductions, facility booking and member management. This investment ensures that your experience is as easy and efficient as possible, from your first visit to every visit thereafter.

 

• Contractor Payments: We've been working with a variety of contractors and service providers who are helping us with establishing the initial services from when the Club is handed over by the builders in late April. These include services such as utilities, cleaning services, security services, gym equipment hire (lease payments), pool maintenance & chemicals, etc. The fees will ensure we have the funds available to pay contractors/service providers for their work preparing the Club for its opening. 

 

• General Setup Costs: Your fees will also go towards the Club's final touches. This includes everything from purchasing furniture (club office), first aid and pool safety equipment, safety signage, and safety inspection audits to ensuring that the Club is ready for the first member to walk through the door.

After the Club Opens: How Your Membership Fees Keep Things Running

Once the Club is up and running, these are some of the ongoing operational costs that will need to be covered to maintain a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable experience for everyone. Here’s a breakdown of what your fees will be used for on a regular basis:

 

• Utilities: Running a facility requires significant utility costs. Your membership fees help cover essential services like gas, water, and electricity. These services keep the building comfortable and functional, whether it's heating the space, providing hot water for showers, or powering the lighting and equipment you’ll use.

 

• Facilities Management Staffing: We want to ensure that your Club is staffed with the best team possible to help you with your needs. The Club will be staffed 70 hours a week, and the on-site team will be tasked with club operations, membership management, and contractor coordination. 

 

• Security & Alarm Monitoring: The security contractor provides security patrols and alarm monitoring of the club. 

 

• Cleaning and Hygiene: We understand the importance of a clean and healthy environment. Part of your fees go towards regular cleaning services to ensure that all areas, including gym floors, restrooms, and common spaces, are maintained at the highest standards of cleanliness. This includes 5 hours of daily cleaning, provision of cleaning chemicals, consumables and sanitary hygiene. 

 

• Acquatic Maintenance: The aquatic area must be maintained inline with the public health guidelines. This involves daily pool water quality monitoring, regular maintenance of pool equipment and supply of water treatment chemicals.

 

• Gym Equipment Lease: The cardio equipment at the club is on a 48-month lease. The club is required to facilitate the monthly lease payments.

Why Your Membership Fees Matter

Your fee plays a vital role in ensuring the success of the Club, both before and after the doors open. From setting up essential infrastructure and technology to keeping the lights on, paying staff, and maintaining a clean and safe environment, your contribution allows us to provide a high-quality experience for everyone who steps through the doors.

 

Thank you for being part of our community and supporting the success of the Club. We are so excited to welcome you to the club once opened, and we look forward to sharing this journey with you.

 

Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the big day!
