Sports and Recreation in the New Normal

By: Ronnie Moranas, The City Club Assistant Manager for Marketing, Sales, and Events

Last year, most of us experienced a drastic change in our lifestyles. Being stuck at home left us with more time on our hands, but with a limited set of activities to choose from and do. Fitness establishments, including gyms and sports courts, were prohibited from operating for many months, as were group sports and classes. Contact sports were forbidden as well, bringing athletes’ and enthusiasts’ regular games and sessions to a halt.

After months of being idle, it’s no surprise that we may feel like we’re back at square one, wondering if all we’ve worked hard for is lost, and missing the exhilarating feeling from playing and working out with friends and teammates.

While the restrictions have gradually eased, you might still be hesitant to leave the safety of your home and get back to your active self in public gyms and sports facilities. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered: The City Club has all you need so you can get back in shape with your health and safety prioritized above all else.

Training: Sports Facilities and Programs

The City Club’s variety of athletic courts and recreational facilities are perfect for your fitness needs. With summer around the corner, our venues are available for your private use so you need not worry about your safety and being exposed to viruses and other illnesses. All of our amenities and equipment are sanitized after each use for a worry-free session. You may choose to practice at our basketball court, or play non-contact sports with family and friends at our tennis, squash, or badminton courts. You may also use the Multipurpose Studio if you want to break a sweat and dance to some lively music in private. Our climate-controlled High-Definition Virtual Golf Simulator is great for a quick round or the whole 18 holes at your choice of the world’s leading golf courses.

The gym is also open—complete with all the equipment you need to get fit and toned. You can enjoy a quick dip or do laps in our lagoon-style swimming pool, which has been enhanced with our new salt chlorination system running at full power. For your safety and to comply with social distancing regulations, we only allow individual workouts at the gym, and a maximum of ten swimmers in the pool at a time.
