House rules that matter to visitors

• Loose (powder) chalk is not allowed, including bringing your own. Liquid chalk is provided free of charge — you do not need to buy any.

• Keep at least one metre between you and other lifters in the free-weight area.
• No personal speakers in the gym area. Headphones are fine. Please take phone calls at the entrance.
• Please train in a shirt. No strong fragrance or hair product — the room is enclosed.
• Drinks must have a lid. Food is for the reception area only.
• No training under the influence of alcohol.
• Coaching, recruiting or selling to other users without our permission is not allowed.
• Users must be 18 or over. Ages 16 and 17 need written consent from a parent or guardian.
