Group Exercise Etiquette & Policies

A group fitness class is a wonderful way to get out of the house and treat your body to some healthy movement.

ARRIVE ON TIME
Rushing into a class is stressful for both you and your classmates. Be sure to arrive early, give yourself the time you need to check in, put away your items and gather any equipment you will need for class. Plan to arrive at least five minutes before your scheduled class time. The Club allows 15 minutes between classes to set up.

Warming up is a vital part of exercise. If you arrive late for class, please take the time to do an active warm-up. If need to leave class early, please let your instructor know at the beginning of class. This will allow your instructor to know that you are okay.

INTRODUCE YOURSELF
Tell your instructor if this is your first time taking the class and they’ll make sure you have everything you need. If you have an injury or physical limitations, this is a great time to let them know, they can provide you with modifications, so you get the best workout for your body that day!

BE FRESH AND CLEAN
Strong odors are distracting for your fellow classmates. Avoid coming to class with strong odors (perfume, cologne, and body odor). Wear deodorant and nix the perfume until after your workout.

AVOID CHITCHAT
We love that you’ve made friends in your group fitness classes, but talking can be distracting and we don’t want you to miss a minute of your workout. If you find yourself doing a lot of talking, ask your friend to catch up after class. Be mindful of the fact that you’re not alone and other people are also trying to enjoy the class as well.

PHONE FREE ZONE
Please silence or turn off your phone while participating in class. If you need to make a call please leave the room.

CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF
Please wipe down your mat, put away your weights and don’t leave anything behind.

HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING
Please leave the heating and air-conditioning controls up to the instructors. It’s best to arrive in warm-ups so as the room heats up, you can control your body temperature and remove your layers if necessary.

CLASS PARTICIPATION AGE
Youth 10-11 may participate in all classes with a supervising adult. Youth 12+ may participate without a supervising adult. Youth under 10 years old are not allowed in the group exercise classes.
