IGNORE ANY OF THESE RULES AND YOU MAY BE ASKED TO STOP, LEAVE AND/OR HAVE YOUR MEMBERSHIP REVOKED
(1) No food or drinks. Water is allowed in gym if carried in sealed, unbreakable containers. MAKE SURE YOUR SHOES ARE CLEAN
(2) Cell Phones are best left at home. Don't yak at full volume into a cell phone. This is bad enough in other public places, but in the gym you're interrupting the concentration of people trying to train. Leave the phone at home, or at least turn the ringer to "vibrate" and tell callers you'll get back to them.
(3)Don't grunt like a dying moose with every rep. Whether or not this helps your performance in the gym (it generally doesn't), it hurts everybody else's.
(4)Working out with your buddies can be a good way to stay motivated, but don't let it get in the way of other people's efforts. Keep your voices low, and don't commandeer whole sections of the gym.
(5)Attire: No sandals, open-toe shoes or bare feet. Shirts and Athletic shoes must be worn. Make sure your shoes are clean.
(6)You are expected to ALWAYS clean up after yourself. If you make a mess in the locker room, clean it up. Don't leave puddles of water on the sink, piles of paper towels on the floor, or your clothes all over the bench. This includes the following:
-put all weights, plates and bars away - RETURN THINGS AS THEY WERE
-water bottles in trash before leaving - RETURN THINGS AS THEY WERE
-equipment used must be put away - RETURN THINGS AS THEY WERE
-towels in dirty towel bin
-wipe off equipment after use - Wipe off benches and machines after you use them.
(7)Please keep all weights and bars on HARD RUBBER MATS (NOT ON TOP OF BENCHES, LEANED AGAINST EQUIPMENT, OR ON CONCRETE, CARPET OR SOFT MATS), use only one piece of equipment at a time, be courteous, and take turns.
(8)Please don’t CLANK! dumbbells or THROW dumbbells or other weights on the floor OR EQUIPMENT - LIKE ON TOP OF BENCHES!! Try not to drop weights on the floor. There are correct ways of handling Dumbbells, JUST ASK.
(9)Between the physical discomfort, exhaustion and testosterone surges, some guys get downright grumpy in the gym. Treat people nicely, even if you don't feel like it.
(10)If you have to blow your nose, go into the locker room, use a tissue, and then wash your hands (SAME THING FOR USING THE RESTROOM). Germy equipment is one reason illnesses spread so fast in health clubs.
***For the same reason, don't even go to the gym when you know you have a communicable illness. One person with a cold will coat 30 percent of a weight room's surfaces with viruses.***
Speaking of which, be smell-conscious. Don't wear heavy colognes or perfumes as they can be irritating, and some people are allergic to them. Don't disperse personal-care products into the locker-room air--these include antiperspirants, aftershaves and, especially, foot-fungus spray. Use roll-ons and lotions whenever possible.
I hope I don't have to mention body-odor.
(11)Time Limit for cardio equipment
- 30 minute limit per machine
- If the machine you want to use is occupied, it is up to you to ask the person on it how long they have to finish their 30 minute limit and let them know you are waiting.
- If no one is waiting, you may stay on longer, but please be courteous to those arriving and anxious to do their program.
- Use safety clips on treadmills
You are exercising at your own risk. Please be sure to read the waiver as it releases AGEE'S GYM from responsibility for injuries you may incur while exercising in the facility.
Don't Touch the Radio. If you prefer something else, you are welcome to bring an iPOD or similar device.
Your cooperation in following these rules will help make AGEE'S GYM a pleasant and safe place in which to train.
