Exercise Etiquette
Your workout time is important - you should be able to step away from real life, focus on your health and feel better about yourself!  Here are a few ideas to keep everyone's experience a happy one...

1.  No cell phones.  Turn off your cell phone, and stash it in your locker.  Loud private conversations are inconsiderate to others trying to focus on their routines.  Not only can it be distracting to other members, but you can't get a good cardio workout while talking on the phone.  VFC has a NO CELL PHONE policy.  Thank you.
2.  Pick up your mess.  When you are done with something, put it away.  This applies to anything you are using, including re-racking your weights and cleaning your sweat off the treadmill. 
3.  Wear proper footwear!  If you are in the club, please have on shoes that are safe to workout in (ex: tennis shoes).  Flip flops, open-toe shoes and bare feet are not safe or healthy while in the club.  If you are in the pool area, you must wear non-slip footwear (ex: water shoes) for your own protection.  Water shoes can also help you get a more effective water workout!
4.  Do not interrupt a group fitness class to use their equipment.  Most of the class equipment (such as free weights, bands, mats, etc) are available for use during non-class times.
5.  Bring your favorite tunes!  If you don't like the club music, then bring your own on an I-Pod or other device with ear phones.  Make sure that you use the ear phones so that everyone else can still enjoy the songs that they want to hear.
