There are a few things that set BHC apart from other health clubs. One of those is our higher level of effort and attention to make the Club inviting and enjoyable to our members on a constant basis. With the typical turn-over in membership that occurs with health clubs, we have stated this set of rules to show new and existing members a common set of practices that we encourage for the overall benefit of everyone using the Club facilities.
If you notice rules being ignored or broken and it’s bothering members of the club, please inform front desk staff.
The general theme in all the rules is to help direct common courtesy and respect of fellow members and thus help ensure everyone’s enjoyment of the Club.
Wipe down machines, equipment, and mats after use. We have cleaning stations all over the facility that include spray bottles of disinfectant / cleaner and single use dark towels. Please spray the solution into the towel and then wipe down everywhere your body or sweat has touched the equipment you have used. When cleaning a mat, you may spray directly on it and then wipe it off with a towel. You may keep a dark towel with you to clean equipment as you use it, to reduce the number of dark towels that need to be laundered.
Limit rest time between sets on strength machines or benches to no more than 90 seconds. The intent of this rule is to stop people from camping out on non-cardio equipment while catching up on emails and/or browsing the web. It is certainly fine to interact with a phone as much as one wants while at the Club as long as it is not done by occupying a workout location that someone else may want to use to exercise.
Take phone conversations to the lobby or outside. Pretty self explanatory. Just like a restaurant, it is considered rude to have an open phone conversion within earshot of others. Please take any phone conversations to outside of earshot of people using the Club.
Respect others' privacy by not using cell phones in the locker rooms or saunas. All phones have cameras. To insure and respect the privacy of others using the locker room, please do not have a phone in use while inside a locker room or sauna.
Only use one machine or station at a time. Simply put, do not do anything to prevent others from using a specific piece of equipment or area when you are using a different piece of equipment or area.
Rerack plates and put equipment back to appropriate locations. After you have used equipment, please put it back on the rack or weight tree it came from for others to use it.
Prevent unnecessary noise when using equipment. The main gym is one big room shared by all the members using it. When someone drops or slams weights it can be bothersome to others in the room. We have special equipment to help prevent the sound of working with heavy weights and we want to promote using that equipment to make using the gym pleasant and enjoyable by all.
