Participation Policies
Registration is drop in on a first-come, first-served basis. Class will remain open until maximum capacity is met or the class starts. Group Fitness class participants must arrive prior to class start time. Late arrivals will not be admitted into the class. This policy is intended to reduce disruptions, ensure all participants have properly warmed up, and to provide the best service to all participants. Doors may be closed & locked early once classes reach the max number of participants designated for that particular class. Max numbers are determined by the amount of equipment available as well as how many participants may safely and comfortably perform the exercises for each given class.
We hope this is an easier process for our members! Questions? Email Pat Kutcher.
