safety

  • Wear appropriate attire and dry, clean footwear. No bare feet or sandals.
  • Ask SVAC personnel for assistance when using an unfamiliar machine or when performing a new exercise.
  • Exercise at your own fitness level.
  • Use of safety clamps on free weight weights is mandatory.
  • Always use a spotter when performing maximum lifts.
  • Use machines with proper intent
  • Youth and Children 10 to 14 years of age are welcome to work out on the gym
    floor with a parent or legal guardian supervision. Some classes may accommodate these ages, please see the class description as well as the notation of YW at the end of the class description.
  • All members under the age of 18 must complete an Equipment Orientation and have a parental or legal guardian signature allowing gym membership.
  • Be aware of the floor, people and space around you.
  • Report any equipment repair or wear that may be an issue, as well as report any hazards to any SVAC Team member

camaraderie

  • Refrain from resting and socializing on all equipment and weight machines.

  • Be considerate and allow others to “work in” with you on machines between sets.

  • If “super setting” between two pieces of equipment, it may be unrealistic to
    expect exclusive use of two machines at once.

  • Avoid banging weight stacks and dropping free weights on the floor.

  • Kindly return all equipment to the appropriate storage rack after use.

  • Respect other Club Members’ experience by monitoring your language, voice
    levels and personal hygiene.

  • Refrain from using perfume or heavy scents.

  • Refer incidents of inappropriate behavior or language to the Front Desk.

  • When taking photos or videos be mindful of who is in the frame.

  • Be mindful of monopolizing unique pieces of equipment for up to 30 minutes, this will ensure all members are able to enjoy the machine.

  • Recognize all common areas are multi-use and for the enjoyment of all
    Members.
