Fitness Room Rules

Poulsbo Athletic Club wants all their members to benefit from the rewards of strength and cardio training. Before one starts a program we ask that you read and understand the rules of the fitness room.
1. You must be at least 16 years of age or older to enter the fitness room. Anyone under the age of 14 must have pre-authorization from club management and be accompanied by an adult or guardian at all times.
2. Our Personal Training staff will complete health history form. Our instructors need this before they can prescribe a program for you. Medical clearance may be needed before starting a program. We can provide you with a medical form for your Doctor to fill out for our instructors.
3. Proper workout attire is required to enter the fitness room. We ask that you wear sneakers and comfortable workout clothing. No jeans or work boots will be allowed. Please be courteous to those who have breathing conditions (i.e. asthma) and refrain from wearing cologne or perfume during your workouts.
4. Schedule an appointment with a fitness instructor. Proper training is the key to one's success with a fitness program.
5. We provide towels and disinfectant spray bottles in the fitness rooms for wiping down machines after you use them. Please be courteous to the next member using the machine and sanitize it after you are done. Please discard the dirty towel into the appropriate receptacles and return spray bottles to the appropriate location after you use it.
6. Be aware that others may want to use the same strength training equipment that you are using. When doing multiple sets allow others to work in with you in between sets.
7. Please leave all jackets and bags in a locker. We don't want you or someone else to trip over an article of clothing left out in the open.
8. Please refrain from dropping the weights and use a spotter and collars when lifting heavy weights. This is for your safety and others around you. If you do not have a lifting partner to help you, ask the instructor on duty, they are there to help.
9. Please refrain from bringing in any food or drink while exercising. Water bottles and Sports Drinks are allowed.
10. As a courtesy to others, please refrain from extended conversations on your cell phone or talking too loudly in the workout areas, as they are a distraction to other members.
We want all of our members to enjoy their workouts here at the club. If you ever feel like one of these rules are not being followed by other members, please let us know so that we can address it.
