House rules

The same text as the notices posted in the gym. Version 2026-09-29.
We ask you to agree to these when you join or book a drop-in visit.

First

• There are three racks. The gym is built on the assumption that people share them. Being strong does not give you priority.

Sharing the racks

• You may not hold a station while you are not training — looking at your phone between sets, or stepping away.
• When someone waiting asks, share the station at the end of a set. You may not refuse.
• You may not reserve the next station by leaving your bag on it.
• When it is busy, one station is used in turns. It is fine to say “how many sets left?” or “may I work in?”. When changing plates, the person using the heavier load takes them off and the lighter one puts them on.

Safety

• For the bench press and the squat, always set the safety bars to a height that suits your body. Do not lift without setting them.
• Our staff do not spot. When you attempt a load close to your limit, set the safety bars and, if you need a spot, ask another member.
• Dropping a barbell or a dumbbell is prohibited.
• Put the equipment back where it belongs.
• If you notice a fault, stop using the equipment. Tell a member of staff during staffed hours, or write to [email protected] outside them.
• If you feel unwell, stop straight away.
• Please do not train after drinking or while taking medication that affects you.
• If a member of staff asks you to stop for safety reasons, please do so.

Unstaffed hours

• Outside staffed hours the gym is NOT supervised. Please train only within what you can handle safely on your own.
• Outside staffed hours the gym is for members themselves only. You may not pass the entrance code to anyone else, or bring in someone who is not a member.
• If you have trouble getting in, or if you feel unwell, write to us on LINE or at [email protected]. We reply as soon as we have seen it. In an emergency, call 119.

Changing rooms

• Photography and recording are prohibited in the changing rooms and toilets.
• We do not look after valuables. Please do not bring cash or jewellery.
• The changing room is for changing. Please do not stay long.
• Leave it tidy for the next person.
• Rental lockers are being prepared. Please take your belongings home.

Around the gym

• Please refrain from photography and recording in the gym. If you record your own lifts, make sure no one else is in the frame.
• Nuisance behaviour, intimidation, following people and soliciting — towards other users or staff — are prohibited.
• Commercial activity (coaching third parties, selling goods, advertising, soliciting) is not allowed.
• Payment is cashless only. We do not handle cash.
• There are tenants above and below us. Please be mindful of noise and raised voices.

B.A.D. STUDIO

• Dance is available Tue-Fri from 19:00, Sat from 12:00, and all day Sunday, because there are tenants above and below us.
• A speaker is installed (Bluetooth name BAD STUDIO). Please keep the volume considerate of the floors above and below.
• Put the room back as you found it. Your booked time includes setting up, clearing away and changing.
• There is one security camera in the studio (four in the building). There are none in the changing rooms or toilets.

Rack guide

This is a guide for when it is busy. Start from the rack nearest your working load. We do not book racks by time or assign them. When it is quiet, any rack is fine.
