COVID-19

On 30 July 2020, the Victorian Government announced that some Melbourne suburbs would reenter local lockdown in an attempt to curb the COVID-19 outbreak.

This means from 9PM Wednesday 1st July 2020, KX Ascot Vale will be temporarily closed.

HOW AM I IMPACTED?

• All KX Ascot Vale classes will be cancelled from Thursday 2nd July until 29th July (or until the Victorian Government Guidelines change) and your credit/s will be returned to your KX account for future use.
• Classes will go ahead as planned on Wednesday 1st July 2020.
• Any active pack will automatically be extended for the duration of the closure. You don’t need to request an extension.

It’s frustrating to be in this situation again, and we thank you for your understanding and support during this time.

With the Government’s announcement on Friday 8 May 2020 we will see gyms reopening in Stage 2, with exact timing of re-openings to be determined at a state and territory level. Fitness Australia has been working extensively with state governments to develop a comprehensive framework for the safe reopening of gyms.

We expect some states to move quicker than others as we have already seen with the Northern Territory. Fitness Australia will continue to work with states and territories to provide further clarification to the fitness industry in coming weeks.

Currently each State has the proposed dates for Stage 2 below, subject to the Public Health Announcement we are yet to receive. Once we receive confirmation we will email all clients to advise them of our re-open date/s:

We have temporarily reduced our cancellation policy to allow you more time to reschedule without charge if you are feeling unwell.

As always, we will continue to distribute antibacterial wipes or spray at the end of every class.
