Fitness Centre Etiquette

Monash Sport fosters an environment that is equitable, safe, enjoyable and non-threatening for all patrons. We ask that all members / users be considerate and understanding of others when training.

Asking for Assistance

If you need advice on technique, equipment use or your program, please speak to a Health and Fitness Instructor for assistance and support to ensure you get the most out of your training.

Putting Equipment Away

Out of courtesy to other patrons, please remember to return weights and equipment to its correct position when you have finished each exercise. 

Sharing Equipment

Please share equipment as much as possible. Ask if you may “work in,” and always allow others the same courtesy. “Work in” refers to when two or more people take turns in using the same piece of equipment.

Resting between exercises

Please refrain from sitting on equipment that you are not using when resting between exercises  This will ensure the equipment is available for others to use. 

Equipment Time Limits

During peak periods, certain equipment within the Fitness Centre may have a time limit applied to its use. All patrons are asked to adhere to these time limits in order to ensure fair and even use for all Fitness Centre users.

Exercising In Walkways

For the safety of all Fitness Centre users, please refrain from performing exercises in areas that act as walkways.

Bag Storage

Bags are not to be taken onto the Fitness Centre floor. Please use the shelving provided within the Fitness Centre, or the lockers located in the change rooms to store your personal belongings. Note: Monash Sport will not accept responsibility for any property that is lost or stolen.

Music within the Fitness Centre

The music played throughout the Fitness Centre is intended as background music only, and cannot be changed to cater to individual tastes. Should you like to listen to a particular type of music when training we recommend the use of a personal MP3 device.

Practice Positive Hygiene

A "no towel, no workout" policy applies in the Fitness Centre. We ask all Fitness Centre users to be aware of the impact poor body odour has on others. All patrons should take reasonable measures to ensure their hygiene is not offensive to others.

Mobile Phone Use

In order to avoid disturbing the enjoyment of other Fitness Centre users,  all mobile phone conversations must take place outside of the Fitness Centre.
