Group Fitness Rules and Etiquette

• Consult a physician prior to engaging in physical activity. Participants exercise at their own risk and are responsible for their own health and safety.
• Please report any illness or injury to your instructor or to a student worker immediately.
• Participants are highly encouraged to arrive to class on time. It is up to the discretion of the instructor whether or not to allow latecomers entry into the class. If you are late, please warm-up prior to starting class.
• New-comers please introduce yourself to the instructor before class starts.
• Please use the lockers or cubbies provided to store personal belongings. North Park is not responsible for items in the group fitness area that are lost or stolen.
• Class entry is on a drop-in basis and is open on a first-come, first-serve basis. Class size may be limited based on the instructor’s discretion and equipment availability.
• It is highly recommended that participants stay for the entire class to ensure proper cool-down. Please stay till the end of class as leaving early is highly disruptive to fellow participants. Consult with the instructor at the beginning of class if you need to leave early.
• It is highly recommended that participants bring water in a closed plastic container to class. This is the only drink permitted in group fitness classes.
• Equipment (hand weights, bands, steps, etc.) utilized during class must be returned and may not be taken out of the group fitness area for individual use. Equipment from other areas may not be brought into group fitness classes.
• Participants are encouraged to bring a towel to all classes.
• Appropriate clothing and clean non-marking athletic shoes must be worn at all times unless otherwise stated for specific classes. No jeans, sandals, or non-athletic shoes allowed. Please change into shoes prior to entering class.
• Hard-soled, closed-toe athletic shoes or cycling shoes are recommended for all spin classes.
• Please give the instructor your full attention during class. Avoid lengthy conversations and loud talking during class as it can be disruptive to fellow participants and the instructor.
• Participants must comply with instructor requests. Instructors have authority over the group fitness area and equipment.
