House Rules & Etiquette

Give us your feedback We love to hear from our members and guests. If you have something you want to say, please share it with us! Please let us know your gripes as well as your likes!

Welcome New Members You were once the new kid on the block. Our community is what sets us apart from any other gyms. Please introduce yourself to newer members and help them get acquainted with our community. 

One Team Your workout isn’t finished until the last member in your class is finished. If you complete your workout before someone else, find someone who hasn’t finished and cheer them on. 

Get Involved We will host community service projects, BBQs, fitness events out of the gym and other fun outings. Get involved with your fellow members, stay after class and work on your weaknesses, and have FUN! This is not only about looking good without a shirt on. It's about community, new found confidence and building healthy habits to last a lifetime.  

Respect Our Coaches Please pay attention when the Coach is explaining the workout and the movements. While you may have heard the instruction for a deadlift one thousand times, it may be the first time for the person standing next to you. 

No Headphones on the gym floor at any time. If you don’t like our music, please make a request. Be aware of your surroundings. Watch where you are going and listen to what is going on around you.

Modify your Workout Please do not argue with the coach if they ask you to scale your weight or movement. They are trying to keep you safe and moving effectively and efficiently through the workout. A coach will stop any workout or activity if it is deemed unsafe at any time.

Kids and Heavy Objects Don’t Mix We love all of our gym kids, but we want them to be safe. We love teaching kids and letting them watch their parents workout and want them to learn the valuable lessons of caring for their bodies. Aside from designated Kids Classes, all children need to be able to be unattended in the lounge area. If they require supervision, please have a responsible adult in attendance to supervise them. If your child is screaming please attend to them. Destructive children will not be tolerated. This goes for any of our furry, four-legged visitors as well.

Ghostriding is Never Cool Please control your barbells or any weight you are moving. Do not drop weights from overhead. We guarantee you won’t feel cool when your barbell hits your neighbor or causes damage to the gym. Barbells should only be dumped for safety purposes and out of necessity. 

Don’t Suffer in Silence If you are injured please let us know before the workout. Remember we can scale and modify any movement! But only you know how your body feels. Train Smart!

Check Your Ego at the Door Listen to your body and know your limits. There is no need to hurt yourself trying to complete a workout at a weight that is too heavy. Even if it's a weight you did last week, it might not be the weight your body is ready for this week.  

Be Positive Eliminate Can’t or Never from your Vocabulary! Don’t drag others down with a bad attitude. We believe anything is possible with a little hard work and determination. Be optimistic, have fun and push yourself and others to do better.

Quitting is Never an Option We promise you the workouts will challenge you and push you to your perceived limits. We only ask that you use proper form and always try hard. Effort always earns respect. Nobody cares about your time on the board or how much weight you move, they only care that you tried.

Be coachable Everyone needs a coach! If you need help, ask for it. The coach is there to help make you better.

Train Smart Warm Up. Cool Down. Take Rest Days. We love gains…but make them smart! Rest, nutrition, and sleep are critical components to achieving results. Training and Volume alone won’t get you to your goal. 

Eat Right For optimal results, we recommend knowing how much fuel your body needs and eating a clean and balanced diet. This will provide you with the best body composition, performance, and health. You cannot outwork a poor diet so eat properly and see results. Poor nutrition choices before your workout will get messy.... 

Prioritize Sleep Even though you might wake up the next morning feeling more sore than ever, this is the time when your body magically rebuilds all your torn muscle fibers. Sleep is your express train to recovery, so sleep as much as possible.

Have Standards Always use full range of motion and train to the standard we teach. Just because you can do Rx weights doesn’t mean you always should. Lighter and lower is always better than heavier and higher.

Be accountable to yourself Track your goals, your workout times, and PRs. Celebrate your accomplishments! Did you fight through that wall and blast through your comfort zone? Were your reps clean and accurate? It never gets easier, you just get stronger and faster.

Work Hard, Stay Focused Focus on your workout. This is your one hour to focus on you and nobody else. It might not feel good while you're doing it but you will feel GREAT afterwards. 

Speak Up Please bring things to our attention. If you notice that equipment is broken, lights are out, or there’s no toilet paper in the bathroom, bring it to our attention so we can do something about it.

Clean Up After Yourself Wipe down your equipment and keep your bodily fluids off our equipment. Pick up your tape, markers, water bottles, clothing and gear. Put away all the equipment you used back where it belongs. If your kids make a mess, please clean up after them, especially any snacks they may have enjoyed. We pride ourselves on having one of the cleanest gyms in the area. Please help us keep it that way. Set the example and others will follow.

Respect our Equipment and Facility Please take care of the equipment. Don’t tie knots in the jump ropes, don’t drag the boxes across the floors and don’t drop the kettlebells or dumbbells or any weight for that matter unnecessarily.

Don’t Drop Empty Barbells Please do not drop a barbell without weight or when stripping weight off the barbell. This causes serious damage to the barbells. 

Chalk Stays in the Bucket I repeat…Chalk stays in the bucket. I assure you it is not magical fairy dust, so please use it sparingly. 

Schedule Your Classes Be sure to register for your class prior to. This helps our coaches to prepare for class sizes and modalities. Depending on the workout, classes may not be able to accommodate more than capacity. Please communicate with the coach if you are on the waiting list for a certain class. 

Come Early. In fact, we prefer that you are early. Use the time to sign in, warm up, use the restroom, or meet a new member! Please be ready for class when it starts.

Be On Time Being consistently late for anything is not cool. And warming up properly is extremely important. We understand you have a life outside the gym and we all know that traffic sucks. We won’t judge you if you show up a few minutes late once in a while, but please be respectful and ask the coach if it is ok to join late or be ready to wait until the next class if possible. Don’t assume you can just jump in
