own risk. The NBWA will not be liable for any injury sustained by any person
as a result of using the gym equipment.

  •  Children under 18 years of age must be under the control of a coach or

parent/guardian.

  • All equipment is to be used for its intended purpose in a safe manner and

returned to the correct racks.

  •  Please avoid trip hazards and be aware of leaving your personal belongings

in areas that impact others’ workouts.


Housekeeping

  •  The last person out of the gym is responsible for closing and locking all

internal and external doors and windows as well as turning off all lights, fans
and the stereo.

as practical.
