What are the Gym Rules?
We have Gym Rules to ensure that everyone gets the safest and best experience from Smart Gyms. The complete list of rules can be seen on our Gym Rules, but the key things are;
1. Tidy up after yourself – put back weights, wipe sweat off equipment and replace mats when done.
2. Use common courtesies – do not drop weights, wait your turn, restrict comments to polite niceties, rather than offering advice on workout techniques, be nice to staff and other gym members.
3. Respect the workout environment – Keep conversations quiet and minimal, so other gym goers are not distracted from their exercise.
4. Safety first: Pay attention every moment to what you are doing — for your safety and the safety of those around you. Ask the instructors if you are not sure about how to use any equipment. They are here for you.
Personal Training
Can I hire a personal trainer?
Of course. Every Smart Gyms has personal trainers that you can hire. They’re usually self employed so you’ll need to speak to them directly. Every PT is different so do your homework and pick one that fits in with your goals and budget. When you’re ready approach a PT or send them an email to have an initial consultation.
You’ll be able to see profiles for each PT in the Smart Gyms app and on the posters when you visit the gym.
