Forget the cell phones and re-racking stuff..... it's your gym so what would you REALLY enforce because YOU CAN?

Here would be some of mine:

1. Any member caught taking a selfie is banned for two weeks. Second violation is permabanned.

2. No striped tank tops, guys.

3. All cardio equipment must be used for AT LEAST 25 min. No quickies here, folks. Any violation sets off a siren alarm in the machine and violating members will be banned for one week.

4. Only sports-related programming on the TVs.

@#mn gym. :)

6. If you can't do at least 5 pullups after your first month of membership, your membership dues increase 30%.

7. Coconut water water fountains.

That is all.

    I only do 12 mins of cardio. Guess I'm banned.


    P.S. your profile pic totally looks like a gym selfie.

    No cell phone use on the machines. If you HAVE to use it, get off your machine (which also means it is not reserved and someone else can use it while you're talking on the phone) or get out of the gym.

    Don't bother coming if you're going to only put in a half-*kitten* effort (standing around and barely moving in group classes, using a machine at a slow pace for over an hour, etc.).

    I would definitely have a dress code of some sort and require deodorant and/or showering before you came.

    Lateness for group classes would not be tolerated. If you are more than five minutes late for a class, you wouldn't be allowed in the room.

    one and only rule: Don't be a douche.

    Probably not the best business plan for a gym since that is the client base they tend to attract.

    It's definitely okay to wear makeup, booty shorts or have perfect hair, or not, at my gym.

    - anyone refilling a large bottle of water when there is a clearly a line of people behind who just want sips will be banned

    I work out on my lunch break... I straight up walk into the weight room with crazy makeup and pretty hair. I don't, however, walk out looking that way...lol.

    I guess I'd be banned after getting high rates because I warm-up for 5 minutes on cardio machines prior to lifting...and it took 3 months of concentrated work for me to be able to do 1 pull-up, let alone 5...
