Prevent Access Activated: Why can’t I get in through the turnstiles?

We know it can be frustrating to arrive ready for a workout and find your wristband or card doesn’t let you through the turnstiles. If this has happened to you, it may be because Prevent Access has been temporarily activated on your account.

What is Prevent Access?

Prevent Access is a process we use to alert our members that there is an issue on their account. It is a setting which temporarily restricts access through our entry gates, and also restricts booking privileges on our customer portal and app.

If a payment becomes overdue, access through the turnstiles is temporarily restricted. The ability to book classes or activities on the customer portal or Xplor app will also be temporarily paused until the outstanding amount is paid.

Importantly, you can still log in to the member portal and app at any time to view and pay your invoices.

How does the process work?

All membership invoices must be paid by the due date. If an invoice becomes overdue, membership privileges will be temporarily paused until the overdue account is paid.

Once Prevent Access is active:

  • Entry through the turnstiles is temporarily restricted. If you are in centre and access is denied, you will need to speak to our Customer Service team in person to pay your outstanding account.
  • Class and program bookings are temporarily restricted. You will need to either pay off your outstanding invoice via the customer portal, or see our team at Reception to pay your account. You can also call us and pay your account over the phone.
  • You can still log in to the customer portal and app to view your information. Payments can be made through the Customer Portal only. 

If you come into the centre while Prevent Access is active, our team at Reception will be happy to help you resolve it quickly.

What do I need to do?

To restore access, simply pay the outstanding invoice. This can be done immediately through your member portal, or with the team at Reception in Centre.

Once payment is made:

  • Your access will be restored automatically
  • You’ll be able to enter the facility and book classes again straight away

Frequently Asked Questions

When does this come into effect?

The Prevent Access is active at turnstiles from Tuesday 27 January.

Why didn’t my band work at the turnstiles?

You can also speak with our Reception team for assistance.

If I pay my invoice, will I be able to get in straight away?

Do I need to contact the Centre after paying?

In most cases, no. Access should update automatically. If you experience any issues, our team is always happy to help.

We’re here to help

Prevent Access is designed to be a simple, transparent process, ensuring fair access and requiring all members keep their payments up to date. If you have any questions or need support, please speak with our friendly Reception team or contact us via the member portal.

Have you heard of Incidental Exercise? 🧹🚶‍♀️

Incidental exercise is physical activity that occurs naturally as part of your daily routine! It’s the small bursts of activity you accumulate throughout the day, such as carrying in the groceries, or playing with the kids, that helps you achieve your 30-20-2. 

Some examples of Incidental Exercise are: 
- Doing housework like vacuuming, mopping, or gardening
- Walking up stairs instead of taking elevator or escalator 
- Parking further away from your destination to get your steps up
- Walking during lunch breaks, or having a standing meeting

Remember, all movement counts! 🌟

For more information about 30-20-2, or helpful resources and workouts to get you moving, head to our Digital Hub.
How cute it this?! 🦄

Our Cafe team always know how to add a little magic into your day! ✨

Help us ensure PARC is a safe venue for the whole community to enjoy 🏊

At PARC, we participate in the statewide Watch Around Water program. Watch Around Water is an education and public awareness-raising program that defines the minimum supervision requirements for children in a pool setting. 

When visiting PARC, your child will be given a coloured wristband, based on their age. These wristbands help our lifeguards identify the level of supervison required for your child, and support a safe aquatic environment for everyone.
