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 that 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.
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.

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.

Q: What's your problem with spandex?
A: Spandex is a Superhero (and Glam Metal) Staple: Spandex is fine ... if that's your thing. Spandex is generally lightweight, comfortable, resistant to body oils and perspiration, is more durable than rubber, and can be stretched over 500 percent without breaking. This stretch factor isn't very flattering. We want you to be comfortable.

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.
Gynecomastia: the development of abnormally large mammary glands in males resulting in breast enlargement. Gynecomastia is one possible side effect of anabolic androgenic steroid abuse.
