Code of Conduct

We ask all clients, teachers and other users of Energy for Life’s services and facilities to adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Respect and Courtesy

At Energy for Life Fitness, we are committed to fostering an environment of mutual respect and courtesy. To ensure that everyone has a positive experience, we ask all clients to adhere to the following guidelines:

Respect for Instructors and Staff

• Communication: Speak to instructors and staff members respectfully at all times. Understand that they are here to help you and other clients achieve the best experience possible.
• Feedback: Provide constructive feedback in a positive manner. If you have concerns or suggestions, address them politely and considerately.
• Authority: Follow the instructions and guidance of instructors and staff. They are trained professionals who prioritise your safety and well-being.

Respect for Others

• Consideration: Be mindful of the experience of others. Avoid behaviours that could disrupt or negatively impact their class experience.
• Behaviour: Demonstrate courteous behaviour. Refrain from actions that could be perceived as aggressive, intimidating, or disrespectful.
• Support: Encourage and support fellow clients. A positive and encouraging atmosphere helps everyone perform their best.
• Diversity: Embrace the diversity of our community. Respect all individuals regardless of their background, fitness level, or experience.

Personal Space

• Boundaries: Respect personal space. Avoid touching others without permission and be mindful of space, especially in crowded classes.
• Equipment Use: Share equipment and space fairly. Do not monopolise equipment or areas of the studio, and allow others to use them during busy times.

Appropriate Language

• Language: Use respectful and inclusive language. Avoid offensive, derogatory, or inappropriate comments.

Conflict Resolution

• Addressing Issues: If a conflict arises, address it calmly and respectfully. Speak directly to the individual involved if appropriate, or seek assistance from a staff member.
• Studio Mediation: If you are unable to resolve an issue on your own, the studio staff are here to help mediate and find a solution that respects all parties involved. Contact Tom on 07555 058 983 or Emma on 07555 220 184.

Community Spirit

• Engagement: Engage positively with the community. Participate in studio events and activities with an open and respectful attitude.
• Feedback: Provide feedback that helps the community grow in a positive direction. Suggestions are welcome when given with the intent to improve the collective experience.

By adhering to these principles of respect and courtesy, we can create a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone at Energy for Life Fitness. Your cooperation is essential in making our studio a place where all clients feel valued and respected.
