The building and the club and its facilities are under 24-hour surveillance. This video surveillance system is used for security purposes. Despite this surveillance system, we advise all members to exercise caution when entering or leaving the building. A free phone line is available if you feel threatened or witness suspicious activity. Do not allow anyone to knock on the door or wave at you to open it, as this can pose a risk to you and other members. If non-members are admitted to the club, appropriate measures will be taken. Every Anytime Fitness club has unique security features and is equipped with emergency buttons and medical call buttons. These are used to alert the appropriate authorities (police, ambulance) in the event you feel threatened or require medical assistance.
– Both the toilets and showers have a lock that you must use. Please keep this area clean and be careful when entering or leaving these areas, as the floors may be wet.
– In the event you or another person is injured:
o For minor injuries (cuts, scrapes, etc.), a first aid kit is available on the training floor.
o For serious injuries requiring medical treatment, call 112 using the toll-free phone (available on the training floor). An AED is available for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
o Report all injuries to the club by calling the phone number provided in the club or via the club email address.
– In the event of a power outage, the available lighting will guide you to the emergency exit(s). The emergency exit door can be operated manually in the event of a power outage.
– In the event of a fire, or if you smell or see smoke, leave the building immediately. Then call 112 immediately.
In addition, you must follow all instructions given by the trainer or another staff member. If you have any questions or comments about how to use the equipment, ask a trainer or staff member during staffed hours or schedule an appointment for explanation/guidance. You should not use equipment if you are unsure about its operation.
