Core Values Matter
- Bring caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility to every rep and step you take here.
-
Leave Space
- In consideration of others, members should not dominate or block access to machines.
- Limit yourself to two people per machine.
-
Keep It Clean
- Re-rack weights after use and wipe down machines with gym wipes to keep our space clean and respectful.
- Keep your language clean too.
-
Be Considerate of Time
- Limit your use of cardio machines to 30 minutes when others are waiting.
- Once you’ve finished using a machine, please move on so others can enjoy their workout too.
- Sitting on equipment to text, scroll social media, or take selfies can prevent others from using it.

Phone Etiquette
- Please keep phone use to a minimum and step aside if you need to take a call.
- Avoid taking pictures/videos with others in the background.

Stay Hydrated
- Bring your water in a non-breakable bottle. Save other drinks and food for after your workout.
