Planned Improvements Coming to the Health Club

As we head into the brighter months, we wanted to share an update on planned enhancement works will begin next week as part of our ongoing commitment to improving your club experience.

What’s new?
We’ll soon be welcoming brand-new cardio equipment, including a spin bike, recumbent bike, upright bike, and cross trainer.

Spa & Pool Upgrades
We’ll also be carrying out key upgrades to the spa pool, refurbishing the sauna, and improving essential pool systems to enhance reliability and performance.

Good news!
The swimming pool will remain open throughout all works, and the club will continue to support your regular routine.

Temporary closures:
• Sauna: 13th – 18th April
• Spa Pool: 13th – 20th April

These updates are just the beginning as we look ahead to our full spa development later this year.

A huge congratulations to Air Recruit Hannaford (aka our fantastic Health Club team member Vicky) on her attestation into Covesea Flight, RAF Lossiemouth, as a RAF reservist.

She is the first direct entrant to attest into Covesea Flight and marks the expansion of the flight to include a variety of roles for individuals with no prior military experience.

As we are an Armed Forces Covenant Gold employer, Vicky is leading the way as our first Reservist.

Douneside House and Health Club continues to be owned and run by The MacRobert Trust, with its deep historical military legacy and connection, so we couldn't be prouder of Vicky.
