EA Networks Centre has revamped its membership options to better reflect how people are using the recreation facility.

The memberships are now a two-tier system, by area - Pool or Gym, or the popular Dual membership which provides access to both areas.

Sport and Recreation Manager Richard Wood said the memberships were more based on how visitors had been observed using the centre, and replaced previous platinum, gold and silver memberships.

“We know that quite a few people who come along to group fitness classes in the gym also like to work out in the weights room, and that people who come to aqua classes also like to swim a few laps or come swimming with their family, whanau, tamariki.”

Pool membership includes the use of all indoor pools, aqua and pool-based fitness classes, hydrotherapy pool, spa and steam room.

Gym membership includes the use of the gym and gym-based group fitness classes, including the spinning classes.

The dual membership includes the use of all indoor pools, aqua and pool-based fitness classes, hydrotherapy pool, steam room, gym and group fitness classes.

Fees are reduced for those committing to six months or more, and reductions also apply to seniors, students, corporates, Community Services and Hāpai Access card holders.

The new memberships are available from 5 August.

Mr Wood said the concession cards were still available for individual activities, for regular or casual users.

“But this new membership structure offers great access to our gym or pool spaces and allow members to vary their personal fitness regimes and enjoy the variety of offerings available.”
