We are pleased to share that the new barrier access systems have launched for customers at Xcite Bathgate, Craigswood and Whitburn.

This is an exciting step forward for these sites. The new barriers are designed to make entry quicker and easier for many of our members, while reducing queues at reception and giving us more time to support customers who need extra help.

Customers will now be able to scan their membership card or tap their band at the barriers to access the gym, swim, sauna/steam, and pre-booked activities (including fitness classes). Instead of queueing at reception, customers can scan their card, select their activity on the screen, and head straight in, making the start of their visit smoother and faster.

An instructional “How To” video is available to watch on our digital screens in those venues or below to guide members through the process. Members taking part in multiple activities during one visit should remember to scan their card each time to ensure visits are recorded correctly.

Staff will continue to be available to assist anyone who needs support, including customers with accessibility needs or those without their membership card.

Barrier access is part of Xcite’s ongoing commitment to improving the customer experience and making every visit easier, quicker and more enjoyable.
