Wellness Center & Free Weight/Track Area Rules

  1. The Golden Rule: "Treat others as you would like others to treat you" applies to the Wellness Center as well as the entire YMCA.
  2. Safety First! Dress in appropriate clothing for your workout, including athletic shoes. No sandals.
  3. Gym-bags, large purses and portable stereos are not allowed in the center or track area. Use the locker rooms for storage when possible.
  4. Clean up the entire area you perspired onto by spraying the paper toweling provided with cleaning solution and wiping down the equipment. PLEASE DO NOT SPRAY THE EQUIPMENT!
  5. No one under the age of 14 is allowed in the Wellness Center or track area. 14 & 15 year olds must go through a two-hour orientation to obtain a Y sticker before they are allowed to use the Wellness Center.
  6. NO SPITTING OR LEAVING GUM ANYWHERE.
  7. There is a 30-minute limit on all cardio machines, if someone is waiting. Use the sign in sheets so that you can be next on a cardio machine when the user is finished.
  8. Please be aware of other members who may want to use a piece of equipment that you are using. If you are resting between sets let others work in.
  9. Please return weights, dumbbells, bars, and balls back to the appropriate racks when you are finished with them.

Thank you for your cooperation. Please do not hesitate to contact a member of the fitness staff with questions or suggestions.
