GOING GREEN
At Five Star Gym we take our environmental responsibilities very seriously. We’ve focused on reducing our consumption of materials at the heart of every process that we do.
Introducing a new membership system we had the opportunity to look at how we operate and to reduce the impact we have as a business on consumable resources. No more plastic cards. No more needless reams of paper. We aim to digitise our processes and systems as much as possible.
We’re working with our water bottle suppliers to get water in a can or carton to try and reduce our plastic waste. In the meantime, our members have the option of water bottles from recycled plastic or reusable water bottles and jugs. We hope to see single-use plastic be a thing of the past. Our dedicated recycling bin means any paper or plastic that we do need to use and throw away stays in the recycling chain for future use and doesn’t end up in a landfill site.
