Let’s work together to keep the environment positive at our clubs by following these guidelines. 

Be courteous and aware of your environment.

Be respectful of others and courteous to your fellow members as you complete your workout and share your space with others.

Take care of the equipment.

Be careful with the equipment and put it away after use.

Take the time to read the club signage.

We provide signage around our club to help guide you. 

Be thoughtful about cell phone use.

Please refrain from loud, distracting conversations on your phone in our club. Do not use your phone on the equipment. We provide chairs in the lobby and Hydromassage lounges in some clubs to sit while you scroll through your phone.

Film and photography are prohibited in the locker rooms, restrooms, Child Care and Kidz Klub.

If you are in a class, please keep your phone on mute.

We’re all here to get and stay healthy.

Our clubs are shared spaces. If everyone works together, we can avoid the spread of germs.

• Clean equipment after each use. We have provided sanitizing stations throughout our clubs.
• Keep the air fresh. Do not wear perfume or cologne.
• Please stay home if you are ill.

Dealing with others’ unruly behavior.

Feel free to speak up if a member is doing something that puts themselves or others in immediate danger. It is more important to be safe than to worry about offending someone.

If the problem is more inappropriate than it is dangerous, talk to a team member for assistance.

Video surveillance is for the safety of everyone.

Our clubs are monitored by video surveillance. This allows us to identify potential security issues and monitor members and team members' safety. When appropriate, surveillance footage is shared with law enforcement and/or used for training purposes. We adhere to state laws regarding video surveillance and privacy.

The purpose of our club is fitness.

California Family Fitness is for fitness and exercise activities. We reserve the right to suspend or revoke membership privileges for non-fitness related activities. Non-permitted usage of facilities may include loitering, sleeping, or other behaviors deemed inappropriate by club management.

FITNESS FLOOR

Leave equipment clean and organized.

Please make sure to do the following:

• Use a towel and sanitation spray to wipe down equipment after each use. We have wipes, towels, and spray throughout the floor.
• If not actively using a piece of equipment, please put it back so others can use it.

Share the available equipment.

Be mindful of others and let them “work in” on equipment between your sets. 

If you are not actively using it, please make it available for others. 

Do not drop the dumbbells.

There are some weights that are made to be dropped, but dumbbells are not one of them. It creates a noisy distraction and dumbbells can potentially break and could bounce and injure you or another member.

Give people around you a safe amount of space.

Be mindful of collisions and do your best to avoid them. If you see someone with a free weight, give them enough space so you avoid getting hit.

For ages 12+.

We welcome members who are 12 years and older to use our fitness equipment. Younger members are welcome to work out their wiggles in our Kidz Klub or childcare.

Closed-toed shoes are required.

Make sure your footwear offers safety and stability. For safety, we require closed-toe shoes when you are on the workout floor using cardio machines, weight-machines, free weights, or other equipment. 

Mirror, mirror, on the wall...

Please do not use our wall-mounted mirrors as a support when you are stretching. Mirrors—unlike walls—are not designed to bear weight and could be cracked or broken during your stretch.

LOCKER ROOM

Keep personal grooming….personal.

Intimate grooming and personal hygiene rituals should be done at home, not in the locker room. Examples: please refrain from clipping nails or body hair, waxing, washing feet or washing clothes in the sink.

Respect boundaries.

Modesty is the best policy in our locker rooms. Please use a towel to cover up.

Guidelines for respectfully sharing locker room space:

• Limit the use of benches/counters for your belongings. Especially during peak hours, give other members space to get ready.
• Clean up after yourself.
• Put toiletries and appliances (e.g., hair dryers) back in their place so others can use them.
• Our hair dryers are available for the hair on your head only.
• Wipe up water around the sink.
• Remove toiletries, hair, etc. from showers when you leave.
• Turn off the water once you are finished.
• Do not leave behind empty shampoo/soap bottles or extra towels.
• Dry off before walking through the rest of the locker room to avoid slipping.
• Avoid applying foot and body powder within our locker rooms.

Leave your cell phone in your bag.

Filming and photography are prohibited in our locker rooms.
