“We have been members of Roko York for nearly a year now and we use the facilities SO often! Like many people, we gave up our gym membership when our daughter arrived as it too hard to find the time to go with a baby or young child.
Now she’s 9 and loves swimming and keeping active! We often all go to Roko on a Sunday morning, so she enjoys Active Kids for an hour, whist we use the gym. We also go swimming a lot as the pool is never too busy and the family changing rooms are spacious and clean… I normally have to drag her out of the showers or she’d probably stay under there all day!
The cafe is really handy, and sometimes we time a swimming session so we finish in time for lunch! It’s decent value – for the 3 of us we often spend about £15 on lunch and a drink each.
We also use the gym independently which is great so you get the odd hour to yourself! The classes are absolutely fantastic and really easy to pre-book on the app. I find if I have a class booked, it means I actually go and do it rather than put it off and not go.
The staff are really welcoming and helpful too. We really enjoy our Roko membership and would highly recommend it to other famillies considering joining a gym in York.
Everyone always says how much better you always feel after doing some exercise you enjoy and it really is true!”
