New gym access system coming to Dronfield Active

Gym members at Dronfield Active are being encouraged to download the Just Do More app ahead of the introduction of new access barriers at the centre.

Work to install the new system will begin in November, with the first stage taking place during the week commencing 16 November 2026. Don’t worry! The gym will be open as normal during this time.

The new barriers themselves are due to be installed during the week commencing 14 December 2026, before being programmed and made operational.

Once the new system is live, members wishing to use the gym will need to use the Just Do More app to gain access.

The changes will only affect access to the gym. Customers visiting Dronfield Active to use other facilities will not need to use the new barriers.

The exact date the barriers will become operational will be confirmed once installation and programming have been completed.

Further updates will be shared with members and customers as the work progresses.
