Gym Etiquette & Member Guidelines

To help maintain a safe, clean, and respectful environment for all members, we kindly ask that you observe the following gym policies:

• Please ensure the entrance door is fully secure after entering or exiting the gym. For safety and liability reasons, do not allow anyone access through the 24-hour entry door. If a member’s key tag is not working, there is typically a reason, and they may contact Debbie directly using the phone number posted near the card reader.
• All members are required to scan their key tag at the exterior card reader or kiosk upon entry. Guests are not permitted through the 24-hour access entrance.
• The 24-hour access system is an exclusive benefit for active Body Factory members and is regulated under our liability insurance policy. Members who provide unauthorized access to others may be held responsible for that individual, including a $20 fee and possible suspension of membership privileges.
• If you are the last person leaving the gym, please turn off all lights and fans before exiting.
• For hygiene and comfort purposes, sports bras alone and stringer-style tops are not permitted. Members are asked to wear a T-shirt or racerback tank top that provides appropriate coverage on shared equipment surfaces.
• Disinfectant bottles are located throughout the facility. Please wipe down equipment after use and return all weights and equipment to their proper place.
• Tripods and video recording are not permitted inside the gym.
• Please use collars and safety equipment provided while weightlifting.
• Emergency 911 necklaces are available at the kiosk for members working out alone.
• For insurance purposes, children under the age of 13 are not permitted in the workout area.
• Security cameras are in use throughout the facility to help maintain member safety and protect the gym environment.

The Body Factory reserves the right to terminate any membership agreement without refund for repeated or serious violations of gym policies.

Thank you for helping us maintain the respectful, welcoming environment.
