• Disinfectant Wiping: Anti-microbial wipe stations are located every 15 feet. Wipe down benches, machine pads, barbells, and cardio consoles immediately after use.
• Barbell Unloading: Never leave loaded barbells resting on Olympic benches, power cages, or deadlift platforms. Stripping bars prevents sleeve bending and ensures equal access.
• Collars Mandatory: Barbell spring or locking collars are mandatory on all heavy compound barbell movements (bench press, squats, overhead presses) for floor safety.

Proper athletic attire is required across all training turf, lifting platforms, and functional zones:

The Hydrotherapy Contrast Suite features 3°C cold plunge tubs and 85°C Finnish cedar saunas. Strict hygiene protocols protect water sterility:

• Mandatory Pre-Rinse: You MUST thoroughly shower with soap in the hydrotherapy rainfall shower before entering any cold plunge tub or cedar sauna.
• Towel on Cedar Benches: Always sit on a clean dry towel while in the sauna to maintain wood hygiene and prevent sweat absorption.
• Session Time Limits: In accordance with sports medicine safety, cold plunge duration is capped at 3–5 minutes per dip; sauna sessions capped at 15 minutes.
• Swimwear Required: Clean, dedicated athletic swimwear is mandatory in all shared recovery suites.

We acknowledge that athletes record lifting sets for biomechanical form analysis and progress tracking. However, member privacy is paramount:

• Platform Safety Clearance: Maintain at least 6 feet of clearance around any athlete performing Olympic snatches or clean & jerks. Never walk across an active lifting platform.
• Turf Sled Right-of-Way: Athletes pushing or pulling heavy Prowler sleds on the 40-yard turf track have the right-of-way. Keep track lanes clear of kettlebells and foam rollers.
• Dropping Weights: Bumper plates on oak lifting platforms may be dropped safely from overhead. Metal dumbbells and kettlebells must never be intentionally dropped on rubber flooring.

FlexPulse is a home for dedicated athletes of every background, discipline, and skill level. We enforce an uncompromising zero-tolerance policy against:

• • Unsolicited, intrusive commentary or staring that causes discomfort to another athlete.
• • Intimidating, aggressive, or derogatory behavior toward athletes or staff.
• • Any form of discrimination based on race, gender, orientation, religion, or physical ability.

If you experience or witness behavior contrary to these standards, report it immediately to the Floor Supervisor or Security Concierge. Disciplinary action is swift and definitive.
