Fusion announce reopening of Robinson Pool & Fitness centre

Fusion Lifestyle and Bedford Borough Council are delighted to announce the opening of Robinson Pools & Fitness. 

The centre will open for group exercise and gym sessions on Wednesday, September 30, and the pool will open on Thursday, October 1.

The centre will be operating in line with new government guidelines and those planning to visit will be required to book and pay online, minimising contact required at the centre and allowing for the track and trace process to be implemented. 

Gym users will be asked to arrive ready to work out, ready to go and swimmers with their costumes under their clothes, ready to go. 

The new measures, combined with meticulous cleaning routines, are designed to keep customers safe and offer complete confidence to use the facilities when they return to the centres.

Fusion Lifestyle has been working closely with Bedford Borough Council to deliver the safe, reopening of centres with the aim of delivering accessible leisure facilities for everyone in the area.

Anthony Cawley, Director of Operations at Fusion said: “We know our leisure facilities are really important for the health and well-being of the local community.  We are really pleased that we are able to announce the opening of our facilities in a safe and viable way.” 

Cllr Doug McMurdo, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture at Bedford Borough Council said: “We are grateful for the patience shown by those who want to return to our gyms, pools and studios during this difficult period. Keeping fit and active is important to both the physical and mental health of people in the Borough.

“Fusion have also had to make sure facilities abide by the Government guidelines and we understand that things will be different for customers, but by following the regulations that have been put in place, we can ensure that our facilities are as safe as they can possibly be.”

Bookings can be made up to seven days in advance by downloading the Fusion Lifestyle app or by visiting the centre websites to register and use the booking facility. 

Please refer to the website or social media later this week for when bookings will be live.
