Fitness Floor Attire Policy

• To start, patrons must wear attire that is appropriate for a family-friendly fitness environment.
• Additionally, closed-toed athletic shoes are required at all times while using the facility.
• For safety reasons, crocs, dress shoes, and sandals are not permitted.
• To help keep the workout areas clear, please lock up all personal belongings in the locker room or designated cubbies—bags are not allowed on the fitness floor.
• Moreover, participants should consistently wear athletic apparel along with proper footwear.
• Since pants or shorts with zippers, snaps, or buttons can damage padded weight equipment, we ask patrons to avoid this type of clothing while using weight machines.
• For hygiene and comfort, shirts must be worn at all times and may only be removed in designated locker rooms or changing areas.
• Equally important, undergarments such as sports bras, bras, and underwear must remain fully covered at all times.
• Lastly, swimsuits are not considered appropriate workout attire and are not allowed in the fitness area.

For Health and safety

• To begin your workout responsibly, please wipe down equipment with disinfectant wipes both before and after use.
• If others are waiting, kindly limit your time on cardio machines to 30 minutes.
• In addition, allow fellow members to “work in” on strength machines rather than monopolizing equipment between sets.
• To maintain a safe environment, keep group workouts limited to 2–3 people so others have space to move safely.
• Once finished, always return equipment to its designated location.
• Rather than dropping weights, rerack them to help protect the equipment and maintain a quiet environment.
• Although food is not allowed, liquids in sealable containers are permitted.
• Moreover, offensive language, horseplay, or any form of inappropriate or disrespectful behavior is strictly prohibited.
• For your listening enjoyment, use personal music only through headphones, and keep the volume at a reasonable level.
• For cleanliness and safety, chalk is not allowed in the fitness area.
• Unless you have management approval, outside equipment may not be brought into or used in the facility.
• Additionally, only authorized Rec Center personal trainers may train clients on the fitness floor.
• Finally, please refrain from using phones while on the fitness floor or while using equipment to avoid distractions.

Policy

Blue Valley Rec and its partners reserve the right to use all photographs and video footage of participants for promotional purposes. Specifically, this includes materials used in print, digital media, advertisements, and social media promotions. Moreover, drone footage is also included under this policy.

Personal Photos/Videos

Members may, under limited circumstances, use mobile devices on the fitness floor to take photos or videos of themselves. However, this privilege may be revoked at any time and for any reason at the sole discretion of a Blue Valley Rec team member.

To ensure a safe and respectful environment, mobile device use is only acceptable under the following conditions:

• First, mobile devices may not be used if doing so creates a safety risk for the user or others nearby.
• Additionally, out of respect for member privacy, photos or videos must not include anyone who has not given prior permission to appear in the content.

By following these guidelines, we aim to protect the comfort, safety, and privacy of all fitness floor users.
