Code of Conduct
Diversity & Inclusion:
Here at R3VIVE fitness we are committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for all our members regardless of race, gender, sexuality, etc. Inclusivity has been a core value since the opening of our gym in 2019, and we are committed to maintaining a safe and supportive space for everyone. R3VIVE staff will not tolerate any behavior that is discriminatory towards other members.
Traditional gym cultures often reinforce binary gender norms, which can alienate non-binary, transgender, and gender-nonconforming individuals. At R3VIVE, we do not want to be associated with this culture. We believe that fitness is for everyone.
Every person has their own unique motivations or personal fitness goals and our goal is to help you reach them. No matter how our members identify, we want individuals to feel supported by coaches, staff, and fellow members. By adopting inclusive gender language and practices, we want to ensure that our space is welcoming for everyone.
To achieve this, we are continuously learning and making adjustments, but it’s a topic that requires the involvement of everyone, not just the R3VIVE staff.
At R3VIVE Fitness, we use RX weight standards based on athletic performance levels rather than gender distinctions. This allows all athletes to choose weights that match their current skill level and goals. Our approach is focused on ensuring each member progresses safely and effectively while maintaining the intended challenge of the workout.
RX Standards are designed for those who have built a solid foundation of strength and technique. We also offer scaled options for athletes who are developing their abilities or adjusting based on their current fitness level. This way, every athlete—regardless of their background—can participate in workouts that are challenging and appropriate for them.
If you have any questions or concerns about this topic, please reach out to our coaches or staff. Ensuring that our members feel safe and supported is of utmost important to us, so we take this issue very seriously.
Equipment:
Treat it as if it is your own. Do not drop empty barbells, dumbbells or kettlebells. Help keep your workout space tidy and equipment clean by wiping down and putting away what you’ve used (because, well, no one wants to use equipment covered in someone else’s sweat).
Members:
Let’s work together to make this the most positive environment. Check your ego at the door. Here, we are a family – If you do not know someone’s name, learn it. In our fitness community, it’s critical everyone is treated with respect. Gossip, negative talk or hateful comments will not be tolerated. Come in, work hard, have fun, and support each other.
Etiquette:
- Be sure to not bring your headphones or phone into the class, along with any snacks.
- Try to keep all the chalk in the buckets they are in to.
- Show up on time. This keeps the class on schedule and allows the coach to keep the class flow and instruction concise and helpful.
- If you have any pain or injury, let your coach know before class.
- If we are using a barbell do not drop any bars that have anything less than the 25lb plates on them. The bars can bounce around and hit other members or the walls.
- Always wipe down and put away equipment that you used.
- If you need anything out of the main room while a class is going on, always ask a coach before just walking in.
- The most important thing: HAVE FUN AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER!!
Coaches:
Listen to us – we are here to guide and direct you. No need to feel intimidated or afraid to ask us questions and get to know us – we want to know you! We want to see you grow and develop. If we ask you to scale weight, reps, or stop a movement, it is because we’re protecting you. Our goal is to keep you fit and healthy into your 60’s, 70’s and beyond. Injuries and a poor attitude won’t help get you there. Your safety is our number one priority. Be sure to communicate with your coach about any injuries you are currently experiencing so we can substitute movements if needed.
Class:
Sign up, be on time, participate and have fun! Show up consistently, and you’ll notice the results you came for.
Etiquette:
- Keep chalk in its container (No writing on the floor or making messes).
- If you think a piece of equipment may be in use by another member, always ask before using.
- Respect the workout space of others and your own. Avoid walking in front of your peers as they lift.
- Do not add more than 50# on a 15# barbell. Do not drop a barbell with single 10# or 15# weights.

- Work hard, have fun and make new friends!
