Member Update: Elevate Your Game at the Newly Refurbished RSC Gym
We are thrilled to unveil the recent refurbishments to our club gym! As part of our ongoing commitment to providing the best facilities for our members, we have invested in professional-grade equipment to help you reach your peak performance.
Where to Find Us
If you haven’t explored the new space yet, the gym is tucked away in a dedicated, quiet spot located directly behind Court D. It is perfectly positioned for a quick transition from the court to your cool-down.
A Club Built on Resilience
While we are focused on the future of our fitness, it is worth remembering that RSC has a storied history in Reigate. Did you know that during World War II, the club was requisitioned by the Canadian Army?
Our grounds on Manor Road, which were originally founded in 1936, spent the war years repurposed for storage. It is a testament to the club’s enduring community spirit that we reopened in 1952, eventually growing into the four-court facility we enjoy today. Our new gym is the latest chapter in this nearly 90-year legacy of constant improvement.
The Power of New Cardio: Exercise Bike & Cross Trainer
The centrepieces of our refurbishment are the brand-new Upright Exercise Bike and Cross Trainer. These additions are game-changers for the club:
-
For the Squash Player: These machines provide the perfect low-impact environment for a focused warm-up, increasing your heart rate and lubricating joints before hitting the court. After a gruelling match, a 10-minute “flush-out” on the bike is the ideal way to aid recovery and reduce muscle soreness.
-
Injury Rehabilitation: We know how frustrating it is to be off the court. Our new cardio equipment offers a controlled way for members returning from injury to rebuild cardiovascular fitness and leg strength without the high-impact stress of match play.
-
Total Body Conditioning: The cross trainer offers a full-body workout, helping to improve the stamina and endurance required for those long five-set battles.
A Complete Training Environment
Beyond the new machines, the gym is a versatile space designed for functional fitness. Our facility remains fully equipped with:
-
Rowing Machine: For high-intensity, full-body metabolic conditioning.
-
Free Weights & Dumbbells: An extensive range for building the explosive power needed for match play.
-
Core & Stability Zone: Featuring our Fit Ball, Bosu balls, and aerobic steps, this area is dedicated to improving balance, core strength, and agility—the foundations of great movement.
A Gym for Every Member
The RSC gym isn’t just for the elite athlete. For our non-playing members, it offers a clean, bright, and friendly environment to stay active at your own pace. With new wall-to-wall mirrors and a refreshed interior, it is a motivating space to work on your personal fitness goals year-round.
We encourage everyone to head behind Court D to check out the improvements and integrate a gym session into your weekly routine.
See you in the gym!
