Gym policy & etiquette

River’s Edge Fitness looks forward to hosting a respectful community of members into our facility. As a member or guest, you agree to these terms and to the penalties for violating any gym rules. Rule violations of any kind may be cause for termination of your membership by River’s Edge Fitness.

River’s Edge Fitness Rules:

• RETURN WEIGHTS to the weight trees or racks after use.
• WIPE DOWN equipment after every use.
• No guests are permitted unless a waiver has been signed and a $5.00 one-time guest fee has been paid or left in drop box.
• Anyone under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
• You must respect all other members.
• Please do not misuse the equipment.
• There will be zero tolerance for obscene language, horseplay, or harassment of any members.
• Please do not bring in chalk. It is very messy and will not be allowed.
• The stereo is only accessible by staff. If the music being played is not to your liking, you can either make a request to a staff member or use headphones. The stereo is a privilege, not a right.
• If you have any questions about how the equipment works, please ask the staff. This is not only for your protection, but the protection of other members as well.
• If any of these rules are violated, you will be given a warning. Habitual violations of these rules can and will be considered grounds for termination. NO REFUNDS will be given to those violating these rules.
