➊ Reserving group activities is easier, convenient and fast!

Reserving your class can now be done from anywhere using your mobile, with a simple click!

What has this changed? It’s eliminated the long queues at Reception to reserve your spot in your favourite class, and you can now easily see how many spaces are still available from wherever you are!

➋ Taking advantage of the beautiful outdoors

There are very few gyms that have such ample outside space as ours.

We received great feedback from members who enjoyed being able to partake in their favourite class outside in the open air, and we want to repeat this experience more times.

➌ Even more attention from the instructors

Reducing the number of persons per group activity has had its benefits, with members getting even more attention from the instructors!

➍ Emphasizing hygiene & cleanliness

Emphasis on washing our hands and disinfecting equipment after use has made coming to the gym safer for all our members.

Practising these healthy habits can help prevent the common cold and Coronavirus

Thank you for thinking of one another!

➎ Maintaining our distance, but not being socially distant

Playing tennis, squash, football, basketball, table tennis, and attending group fitness classes can still be done safely.

Organize a game with friends, family and fellow members at the health club, where you can continue to be social at a recommended distance.

In summary, minimizing physical contact and improving our hygiene habits doesn’t have to stop us from keeping physically, mentally and socially active.

I feel safe doing what makes me so happy and healthy

"Everything is the same besides the changes. That's how I feel about my day-to-day life at Browns.

It's still the same place where, for 20 years and on a daily basis, I release the tension of the day and have 'my moment' but at the same time I realise that a lot has changed.

The club has incorporated all the safety and hygiene measures required by the health authorities and the members religiously comply with the set of rules laid down by the management.

Therefore, I feel that I am in a safe place, where everyone is highly responsible, namely in the use of masks and constant hygiene of the equipment.

I thank the management, staff, instructors and especially the cleaning team, for their effort, civism and great sense of responsibility.

For all this, I feel safe doing what makes me so happy and gives me health."

I returned and found a space adapted to the contingencies we live in

"We started the year 2020 hearing about a virus that turned into a pandemic and the unthinkable happened.... The world went into lockdown and our lives on hold! Fear fell on each one of us, so the return to the "new normality" was under the aegis of this feeling. We had to decide whether to return to the Browns.

Alongside the fear, there was the ultimate desire to return to physical exercise, a source of physical and psychological well-being. So I returned and found a space adapted to the contingencies we live in, namely with new hygiene and safety rules, classes outside when possible, new app to book classes and spaces, use of mask, disinfectant, alcohol gel, among others.

After almost five months, I am still convinced that this was the right choice, because after all, physical activity is synonymous of health".

Browns could not have done anymore to ensure the protection of the member's health and welfare.

"As a member of Browns Sports Facility pre-COVID, I enjoyed many classes which were all excellent in quality with professional instructors.

Having returned following lockdown, I'm delighted to say that none of the core elements have changed and now run alongside strict Covid-19 rules, which include social distancing and the sanitizing of all equipment and studios.

In my opinion, Browns could not have done anymore to ensure the protection of the member's health and welfare.

With the introduction of a new app, classes can be pre-booked 24 hours in advance, ensuring numbers are strictly adhered to.

Entry is via a QR-code on your mobile phone so that contact with surfaces is minimal.

Along with the obvious physical and mental health benefits, being able to socialise again with both old and new members and see familiar staff faces always ready and willing to help you, Browns has provided a small return to normality in difficult times and for this, I thank them greatly....

Kindest regards"

I have been totally impressed with the caring and professional manner with which all of the Browns team have adapted to the new restrictions.

"I was nervous about returning to Browns after lockdown for obvious reasons. But I have been totally impressed with the caring and professional manner with which all of the Browns team have adapted to the new restrictions.

They have done everything they can to:

a) keep us safe and

b) provide us with a good variety of classes.

The trainers are just as great as they've always been and I genuinely feel that my suggestions and concerns are listened to.

Ten out of ten from me!"

It is possible for us to keep our sports practice safe

"It was good to get back to the gym.

By taking all the precautions and following the rules proposed by Browns, it is possible for us to keep our sports practice safe."
