Important membership credit information

We will be applying a 5-day credit on your membership to the direct debit payment on THURSDAY 4th MARCH.

Please note: We were unable to apply this credit to tomorrow’s payment due to the late notice of the announcement. Therefore you will be charged your full membership fee tomorrow (Thursday 18th Feb) and the credit will apply in the next direct debit cycle (Thursday 4th March).

We had to close Group Exercise class bookings upon closure and await Government announcement to confirm reopening. All class bookings will open for the next three days at 4pm today.

We will be lighting up for Mito this Saturday 💚

You may notice this Saturday a few of Frankston’s iconic landmarks will be lit up green this Saturday. This is to support the global Light Up for Mito initiative, for World Mito Week.

Landmarks worldwide are glowing green to raise awareness of Mitochondrial disease, a little-known, life-limiting genetic disorder.

You can learn more about the condition at @mitofoundation
