Locker Room and Facility Etiquette Policy

Effective Date: 04/07/2025
Website: https://grindergym.com/
Operated by: Dave DePew Enterprises, Inc. (a California Corporation)

Grinder Gym provides locker room and shared facility access as part of your membership and training experience. To ensure a clean, respectful, and safe environment for all, this policy outlines behavior expectations and best practices within locker rooms, restrooms, and other common areas.

General Locker Room Etiquette

All members and guests are expected to:

Respect others’ personal space and privacy at all times
Refrain from using mobile phones or recording devices inside locker rooms
Use appropriate, modest attire and cover up when not actively changing
Clean up after themselves, including used towels, wrappers, and grooming products
Limit time in high-traffic areas (e.g., mirrors, benches, showers) during busy hours

Hygiene Standards

To promote health and comfort for all:

Use a towel or mat when sitting on benches or using shared equipment in changing areas
Avoid excessive use of perfumes, colognes, or strong-smelling grooming products
Do not shave, dye hair, clip nails, or perform other personal grooming that may leave a mess
Shower before entering saunas or after heavy sweating, if applicable
Dispose of hygiene products (razors, wipes, etc.) in appropriate trash bins

Personal Belongings and Lockers

Lockers are for daily use only unless otherwise specified
Bring your own lock and remove it at the end of each visit
Do not leave personal items in sinks, showers, or on benches
Unattended items may be placed in lost and found or removed at staff discretion
High-value items should not be left unsecured—Grinder Gym is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged belongings

Respectful Conduct

Keep conversations respectful and at a moderate volume
No inappropriate behavior, including lewd or offensive conduct, will be tolerated
Treat others with the same respect you expect in a shared, private space

Gender-Specific Areas

Please use locker rooms and restrooms in accordance with your legal gender or designated facility policy. Grinder Gym supports an inclusive environment and will work with any member to find a solution that meets their comfort and safety needs.

If you have concerns or requests related to locker room access, contact management directly and confidentially.

Facility Etiquette (Outside Locker Rooms)

Re-rack weights, wipe down machines, and respect others’ space on the training floor
Use equipment as intended and avoid “reserving” multiple machines during busy times
Be aware of your surroundings and allow others to work in when possible

Failure to follow locker room or facility etiquette may result in warnings, loss of access to shared spaces, or full suspension of membership for repeat violations.
