Any Member or Guest who engages in such conduct must immediately exit the Facility and may have their membership revoked.

Proper attire includes clean, enclosed athletic shoes worn at all times during the workout, athletic shorts or pants, an athletic top, and appropriate undergarments. Members should also bring a water bottle. A sports bra is considered an appropriate athletic top for women. The Athletic reserves the right to refuse entrance to anyone who is not properly attired or is wearing clothing that may be considered offensive to others such as t-shirts with vulgar, sexually suggestive, or racially offensive language or graphics. If you are refused entrance, you may forfeit a class or be charged for the class as set forth above. Clean shoes must be worn at all times while on the gym floor. Members arriving in dirty or unsuitable footwear without a clean pair to change into may be denied access to the Facility and asked to leave. 

Check-in: Each Member and Guest must check in every time they enter a Facility. Check-in is required for each visit and must be completed by scanning into the Facility using the approved access system or, when staff is present, checking in at the front desk. Guest access is permitted only during staffed hours and requires front desk check-in. Guests are not allowed to enter the Facility during unstaffed hours for any reason. A digital identification picture must be taken of you to ensure correct identification of each Member and Guest. This picture ensures that no one else may use your membership account. Refusal to provide a photo may result in denied access to the Facility. The Athletic staff has the right to request a second form of identification, such as a driver’s license, upon check-in to confirm your identity.  Members will not be permitted to use the Facilities if their membership is expired, on hold, suspended, or otherwise not in good standing. If you received a membership card, there is a Five Dollar ($5.00) fee to replace a lost or stolen card. If a Member or Guest is asked to leave the Facility by staff or management for any reason, they must do so immediately.

The required thirty (30) day written cancellation notice outlined in the Membership Agreement will begin only after the membership has been reactivated, and all applicable dues during that notice period remain due and payable.
