Gym Etiquette

Jiu Jitsu, Free Class Fitness, 10th planet free class,

We maintain a clean, respectful, and safe training environment for everyone. Please follow these guidelines:

 

🔹 General Respect

  • Be on time for class. If you’re late, wait by the edge of the mat until the coach invites you in.

  • Show respect to coaches, teammates, and visitors at all times.

  • Keep a positive attitude and support your training partners.

  • No coaching others unless you’re an instructor.

🔹 Hygiene & Cleanliness

  • Always come to class clean, with trimmed nails and fresh gear.

  • Wash your rashguards, shorts, and training clothes after every class. Avoid wearing zippers, loose clothing, jeans, or any jewelry on the mats.

  • Wear shoes or slides in the gym at all times — no bare feet except on the mats.

  • Water only on the mat; no food or sugary drinks.

  • Take all personal belongings and water bottles home daily.

🔹 Mat Rules

  • Respect the mat and your training partners.

  • Let higher-ranked students or instructors pick training partners first.

  • Keep a safe distance from other pairs when rolling.

  • Tap early and respect your partner’s tap — safety comes first.

  • Avoid talking or distractions while the coach is teaching.

🔹 Equipment & Space

  • Put equipment back where it belongs after use.

  • Keep changing rooms and bathrooms clean for the next person.

  • Report any injuries or equipment issues to a coach immediately.

🔹 Visitors & New Students

  • Be welcoming to new members and guests. Everyone starts somewhere.

  • If you’re visiting from another gym, check in at the front desk before class, and please pay the drop in fee before getting on the mats.
