The Fitness Centre is a place to participate in safe, effective exercise sessions. It is important you recognize this is a shared space and you must be respectful of other gym users. Etiquette in the fitness centre is designed so everyone can enjoy their workout, to keep each other safe and to ensure equipment is not damaged.

Please adhere to the following when using the Fitness Centre:

• Coaching or training is only permitted by the fitness centre’s on-staff coaches. Freelancers are not allowed. Inform beforehand if you are/were into fitness industry as professional. It is strongly recommended that you complete at least one session with one of our coaches to ensure you are using the correct form and technique and using the equipment safely.
• Any injuries or equipment related issues must be reported to staff.
• Respect everyone in the gym premises. This means sharing equipment, ‘working in’ with other gym users (alternating users on a single piece of equipment) and not blocking workout areas.
• Appropriate workout attire – you must wear indoor sports shoes with rubber soles at all times, singlet/tshirts must also be worn at all times. No wet clothes or ‘street clothes’ are allowed.
• No food or protein shakes to be consumed inside the gym. Water only please.
• Minimise mobile phone use in the gym area. If you need to make a call, do so outside the gym.
• Do not take selfies or photos of other gym users.
• Headphones must be worn if listening to music.
• Appropriate language and volume must be considered when conversing in the fitness centre.
• All machines must be used according to their intended purpose.
• Please use a towel to wipe down equipment after use.
• Return all weights to rack, and other equipment to its correct storage area.
• Use equipment as it is designed - do not drop weights, do not use walls for handstands or throwing balls against them, do not use squat rack for bicep curls, etc.
• No equipment may be taken outside of the gym.
• If working out with friends, keep group numbers to a minimum and do not obstruct other gym users (i.e. sitting on benches talking/resting or doing exercises in walkways). Cardio machines have a 10-minute time limit during peak times.
