Gym

Colac’s Bluewater Gym facilities are opene with a number of measures in place to ensure safety and compliance with current Victorian Government COVID restrictions.

Current restrictions allow a maximum of 20 patrons (total) to have use of the gym facilities with a booking system to be in place to ensure the maximum is not exceeded.

While the current COVID restrictions are in place, there are some changes to operations at the Centre, and we ask the community to be aware of the limitations we need to ask of users of the facility to maintain the highest level of safety for patrons and staff.

We would like to thank our Bluewater members, and users of the facility for their continued support and patience while we have been closed. We also ask for your understanding and flexibility as these changes will be new to our Bluewater team too.

Gym Facilities Open

Gym facilities are open for use during opening hours. 24/7 gym operations will not be available at this time.

Change rooms, toilets and showers will be available for use during booked session times. Patron limits and social distancing must be adhered to in these spaces.

Session Times & Bookings

Session times and a booking system will operate to ensure the Centre adheres to the maximum 20 patron rule.

Each allocated session will be for 75 minutes maximum in an effort to provide many people in the community with the opportunity to use the Gym. Session times are as follows:

Bluewater are also providing an Active Aging Hour three times a week to provide users aged 50+ with the opportunity to access the support of a Gym Instructor to maintain and regain strength and fitness and workout with users of a similar age.

Bookings open every Friday for the following week. Bookings can be made at any point throughout the week. 

To make a booking, please contact the Centre on 5232 9551 during the Centre’s opening hours. Patrons will be required to provide contact details as prescribed by the Chief Health Officer, therefore no bookings will be accepted via email or social media.  

Strictly no walk-ins will be allowed into the facility.

Programs and Les Mills

A limited Group fitness timetable is currently available but bookings are essential. 

We can now advise that Les Mills is back up and running, but bookings are essential!  Les Mills can be booked during a gym session time either for the duration of the session (75 minutes) or for 30 minutes so you can take advantage of a workout in our gym space before or after your Les Mills workout!

Additional Safety Measures

Gym users will be required to bring a towel with them for their workout and they must wipe down equipment with sanitising wipes provided, before and after use. Users may be denied entry if they do not follow these strict hygiene practices which are in place to keep all of our users as safe as possible. Gym towels will be available for purchase at reception.

A number of measures have been taken at Bluewater Leisure Centre to maintain the highest level of safety from patrons and staff. These include:

• Hand sanitising stations at entrances/exits
• Additional professional cleaning
• Sterilisation and cleaning of surfaces between swimming sessions
• Barriers and signage
• Social distancing floor guides and waiting areas
• Perspex shields for customer service
• Mandatory recording of patron details
• Requirement for patrons to bring gym towels and disinfect gym equipment after use

We ask that all patrons obey the directions of staff and respect social distancing practices where possible. Most importantly, if you are unwell please stay at home.
