FAQ [Frequently Asked Questions]:

Gym Etiquette:

Q: What's with the gym etiquette mention on the membership sign-up form?
A: Common Courtesies: We mention gym etiquette immediately when you sign up in the hopes you will be more aware of how your behavior affects other members ... and visa versa. Remember: we reserve the right to cancel memberships ... so be nice.
  • Put Your Weights Back: Picking up after yourself is a common courtesy. Please be considerate of other members and do so! 
  • Grunting: It's really not necessary to scare the daylights out of innocent exercisers by grunting loudly and/or screaming your way through your workout.
  • Flying Equipment: We are a "No dropping. No slamming. No throwing." facility. You should be in control of the equipment you're using. Once you let something go, you have no control over where it lands ... that might be your foot, your neighbor's foot, a wall or mirror. Damage is bad ... whether it's done to your foot, your neighbor's foot, the gym itself or the equipment.
  • I'm Sorry, But You Smell: It's normal to be a bit funky smelling after you work out. But if you just plain stink all of the time, someone may pull you aside and tell you so.

With all of that said, we know this is a gym [not a library]. Weights are heavy and they're made of metal. We don't expect silence. If we feel like you might be pushing the limits of our policies, we'll politely come talk to you about it. As long as you're able to lift [relatively] quietly, safely and respectfully of those around you, you're good to go, regardless of your lifting "style."
​
Q: I was in the middle of class when my cell phone started ringing. I went to answer it, and the instructor whipped a water bottle at me. Why can't I talk on my phone in the gym?
A: Cell Phone Etiquette: You can talk on your phone in the gym. But it's RUDE when it interferes with other members' ability to enjoy a class or workout session. Turn your phone off during class. And keep your voice [respectfully] down when you're in the gym. Please refrain from having phone conversations in "speaker" mode.
​
Q: What do you consider a "meathead" and what's your hang-up with them?
A: YES ... "Fewer Meatheads and Hardly Any Dipshits" is one of our catch phrases. A "Meathead" is a general term for someone with poor gym etiquette. Please refrain from wearing spandex, taking steroids, showing your mipples, and/or grunting while you are lifting weights. We discourage "meathead" behavior because it makes other folks uncomfortable ... and it makes you look dumb.
