Group Fitness Policies and Procedures

  • All group exercise class participants must be at least 13 years of age or older.
  • It is highly recommended that participants stay for the entire group exercise class to ensure participation in the proper cool-down and stretching phase of the class.
  • Participants are not allowed into any class 5 minutes after start time due to missing the warm up and high risk of injury.
  • All equipment must remain in the multipurpose rooms and must be returned to its proper location after use. Equipment from other areas may not be brought into the multi-purpose rooms.
  • Personal items can be stored in the cubicles provided in the multipurpose room, in the coin-operated lockers or in the locker rooms.
  • Only non-marking athletic shoes are allowed in the multi-purpose rooms.
  • All participants are encouraged to bring a towel and water bottle.
  • No food or drink, other than water, is permitted in the group exercise rooms.

  • All participants must register prior to attending a group exercise class.
  • Registration opens 25 hours prior to the start time of class; registration is first-come, first-serve.
  • Participants should arrive at least 5 minutes before the start of class to secure their spot and set up their equipment.
  • If a participant is not at least 3 minutes early, they could potentially lose their spot.
  • If a participant does not arrive prior to the start time, their account will receive a no-show strike.
  • If a participant registers for a class they do not attend, their account will receive a no-show strike.
  • When a participant gets three no-show strikes, they will not be able to register for group fitness classes for seven days.
