  • Frequently Asked Questions

    What type of footwear is allowed? 

    For the safety and comfort of all participants, proper athletic footwear is required in our fitness centres. Athletic shoes provide the necessary support, stability, traction, and protection for exercise equipment and activities, reducing the risk of slips, trips, and injuries.

    Footwear such as Crocs, sandals, flip-flops, dress shoes, or other non-athletic shoes do not provide adequate protection or support and are not permitted.

    This rule helps us:

    • Keep everyone safe when using weights, machines, and cardio equipment.
    • Maintain a clean, professional facility environment.
    • Prevent damage to equipment and flooring.
    • Maintain hygienic and adequate cleanliness.
