Gym Rules:
Do not let people into the gym. If they can't get in, it's
because they do not have a membership or they have expired. If they are members
but are having problems with their code then they are to take this issue up
with the Gym Owner, and the Gym Owner will decide if access is to be granted.
Sharing access codes with non-members/letting non-members
in will result in an automatic ban, for all parties involved. We have extensive
CCTV so will be monitoring this constantly.
Put your weights away when you are finished with them.
Bare in mind that the people using machines/bars after you may be beginners and
not able to unload the machines/bars themselves.
Do not lean weight plates/equipment against the walls or
the mirrors as this causes damage. Plenty of storage is provided for all weight
plates, dumbells, barbells and other equipment.
Wipe down equipment after use and ensure good personal
hygiene is maintained.
Do not eat food in the gym.
Help to prevent trip hazards by keeping walkways clear
from bags/equipment.
Be considerate and respectful of other gym users; be
willing to help others in need and be conscious of how long you are using
equipment if others are waiting to use it.
If you feel unwell, have a serious injury or have any
doubts about whether it is safe for you to train, then don't -unless you have
consent from your doctor or other health professional - as it is not WISE to
put yourself (or others) at further risk!
Do not use the panic alarm if you have a question, it is for emergencies only. If you have a question, contact us on social media and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.Re-rack weights/put equipment away.
Be respectful of other gym users and keep noise
to a minimum.
Do not do anything to put yourself or others at
risk.
Verbal/physical abuse towards staff/members will
have legal consequences.
Health and Safety Protocols
The SOS Panic Alarm:
The SOS panic alarm is positioned between the emergency exit
and press release button, to the left of the fire exit door. It is to be
pressed in an emergency and it will send a distress signal to the Gym Owner.
The Gym Owner will then link into the CCTV system and assess the situation by
visual and audio. This system has 2-way voice so the Gym Owner will communicate
through the cameras to decide the best course of action, be it to send the
nearest First Aider or call the Emergency Services. Despite every effort to
respond as quickly as possible, if for any reason the Gym Owner cannot resond
or attend, then alert GEEK staff next door of the emergency.
During unmanned hours:
- If you are the only person in the gym, remove the SOS
panic alarm button from it's holder and keep it within reach, so that if you
have an emergency where you cannot move to it's holder on the wall, you can
still call for help.
- If you have the SOS panic alarm on your person and someone
else arrives so you are longer alone in the gym, return the panic alarm to it's
holder on the wall, because at this point there is someone else who can call
reach for the alarm if needed.
- If your are training with free weights, please refrain
from maxing out if you are on your own. If you are squatting / benching alone
you MUST set up in the power rack, with the safety bars adjusted correctly to
prevent you from harm in the event that you cannot complete a lift. The safety
stopper on the leg press must also be used as it is essential for preventing
injury when lifting heavy.
- Ensure you are familair with machines before you use them.
If you are unsure how to use a machine, don't use it, and ask a member of staff
to show you during manned hours. Inductions will now be mandatory to ensure
everyone that uses the facilities are confident with adjusting the machines.
Fire Safety Protocol:
- In the event of a fire, try to
remain calm.
- If the Gym Owner is not on site,
press the SOS panic alarm button.
- Leave the building as quickly as
possible via the emergency exits.
- Gather at the Assembly Point
(Windsor Terrace) and wait for emergency services to arrive.
