Fitness Centre Rules and Weight Room Etiquette

We strive to provide a safe, fun and educational atmosphere for your workout experience. This is to provide information about appropriate rules and regulations while conducting your fitness routine in our facilities.

Thanks for exercising with us and have a great workout!

Weight Room Rules

  • To ensure a comfortable atmosphere for everyone, please be courteous and respectful of others.
  • Visibly wear your membership pass at all times, or have a stamp on your hand for each visit.
  • If you are a monthly or annual member, please scan your card at the front desk each visit before you exercise, or if the front desk is closed, sign-in on the provided sheet.
  • Please pick up your towels, water bottles, newspapers, or magazines.
  • Wipe down each piece of equipment for the next user.
  • Return tubing bands, skipping ropes, body balls, and medicine balls to appropriate storage space.
  • Wear proper attire (no "cutoff shorts", sandals or open-toed shoes etc.)
  • No food or beverages (except water).
  • No scents are good sense! Avoid wearing cologne or strong perfumes.
  • The weight room is restricted to those 15 years of age and older (13 & 14 year olds must be approved by their physician and an H&L Consultant before attending a teen program--see front desk for details)

Training Etiquette

Make sure you sign up for all cardiovascular equipment:

  • Write your name/initial on the board, time you are getting ON, & time you are getting OFF
  • Use the clock in the weight room for all booking times
  • Time limit for all cardio equipment is 30 minutes (including warm-up/cool-down)
  • No pre-booking allowed. Sign up at next available time.
  • Return and rack weights when finished.
  • Do not drop the weights on the floor.
  • Wipe off benches, mats and balls when finished.
  • Allow others to "work in" or take turns.
  • Swearing, grunting, and loud noises are distracting and offensive to others.
  • Do not monopolize several pieces of equipment while others are waiting.
  • Remove any attachments (handles, bars, ropes) from the cable pulley machines when you are finished.
  • Report broken machines or other maintenance concerns to the Health & Lifestyle Consultant on duty.
