Next week you’ll see our trainers out and about on the gym floor ensuring that all patrons are following our Health Club Etiquette & Safety Policy – which is permanently sign-posted above both the lat pull machines and under the TV in the weights room.
GYM ETIQUETTE WEEK will occur every term, and serves as a friendly reminder for gym-goers to be courteous, kind, respectful and hygienic at all times when sharing this space with others in the community. Should you have any questions, please speak with one of our friendly Health Club staff.
- LEAVE NO TRACE– Antibacterial wipes must be used to clean equipment thoroughly after each use, even if you use a sweat towel.
- KEEP YOUR AREAS SAFE AND WALKWAYS CLEAR – Ensure all equipment and weights are returned and re-racked after each use.
- BE MINDFUL AND COURTEOUS OF OTHERS WANTING TO USE MACHINES – One machine is to be used at a time. You cannot reserve a machine – even if super setting.
- BE COURTEOUS TO OTHERS IF ON YOUR PHONE – Please limit phone use during workouts. Let others waiting use the equipment if prolonged phone usage is required, particularly in between sets. All calls must be taken outside the Health Club.
- ENSURE YOU ARE USING EQUIPMENT APPROPRIATELY– If unsure of how to use a machine in a slow and controlled manner, please ask the Health Club staff for assistance to ensure safety.
- DO NOT DROP WEIGHTS – Weight collars are to be fitted when using barbells. Use a spotter to ensure safety when required.
- PHOTOGRAPHY / VIDEO IS PROHIBITED AT ALL TIMES (unless prior consent is received from management)
- NO FOOD, CANS OR GLASS BOTTLES ARE PERMITTED IN THE HEALTH CLUB – Only water is allowed on the gym floor. All other beverages must remain in the cubbies.
- WEAR APPROPRIATE EXERCISE CLOTHING AND CLOSED-TOE RUNNERS AT ALL TIMES – No bathers, slippers, slides, sandals, thongs, Crocs or work boots are permitted.
- LOCK AWAY YOUR VALUABLES – Place bags in allocated lockers or cubbies and do not leave belongings on the floor.
- DO NOT OFFER UNSOLICITED ADVICE TO OTHER PATRONS – If someone has a question, please speak to one of our friendly Health Club staff members for assistance.
- YOU MUST BE 16 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER TO USE THE HEALTH CLUB – For kids aged 13-15 to use this space, they MUST be a member and complete an initial health assessment with a guardian present.
