Etiquette

When taking a group exercise class, we ask you to respect the following guidelines, as a courtesy to your instructor and fellow students, as well as for your own health and safety.

Proper Attire

• For safety reasons, proper athletic footwear is recommended. Please refrain from wearing black-soled running shoes.

Prior to Class

• Please come to class free of cologne and perfume
• Bring any liquids in unbreakable plastic bottles
• Set cell phones to “silent” or “vibrate” or refrain from bringing them to class
• We recommend the use of towels, which are readily available in the Fitness Center and throughout the Club

Class Arrival

• Arrive with ample time to set up equipment before class begins
• Before entering the studio, make sure the previous class has fully ended
• Plan to stay for the duration of your class. The warm-up and cool-down periods are important components of every class.
• Be considerate of other students’ space. Avoid crowding in front of or behind a student who has arrived before you.
• You may not reserve places for other participants in the group exercise or cycling studios
• Please let your instructor know before class if you are pregnant or have any injuries

Late Arrival

• For your own safety and the safety of class participants, please make it to class on time. By missing the warm-up period, you may risk injury.

During and After Class

• Follow the instructor’s directions and movements. This will help prevent injury and give you better results. Stop if a movement causes you discomfort. Your instructor can provide you with modifications throughout the class.
• Please be courteous and return weights and equipment to their proper storage locations. Put all equipment away neatly.
