If you are new to our group fitness program, please read and follow our guidelines below for making the classes a safe, enjoyable experience for you and other members.

• All classes are on a first-come, first-served basis. Select classes require reservations.
• Always wait for the preceding class to end before entering the room.
• Be considerate of other members and the instructor and refrain from conversation during class.
• Children under the age of 13 are not permitted in group fitness classes unless otherwise noted.
• Feel free to work at your own pace and skill level. However, it is discourteous and distracting to do your own routine during a class.
• If you are running more than 5 minutes late, please wait to take the next class to avoid disrupting the instructor and other class participants.
• Keep all water in bottles.
• Perfume and cologne can be harmful to members who suffer from respiratory issues. Please avoid wearing these scents while exercising.
• Proper athletic shoes are required.
• Respect other members’ exercise space.
• Set your cell phones and pagers to vibrate. iPods and other listening devices are not allowed in class.
• Stages exercise bikes are for use during supervised fitness classes only.
