Gym Etiquette

We maintain a clean, respectful, and safe training environment for everyone.

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.
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.
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.
