House Rules reminders

Summer is here! Students are out of school, college students are home for the next couple of months, and we want to remind everyone that our policies may be different from the ones you are used to at other fitness facilities. Please see a full list of rules under the “House Rules” section of the website and please see below for some rules we would like to highlight:

• Athletic attire must be worn at all times with the following specifications: Shirts must be hemmed and cover the midriff; closed toe athletic shoes must be worn unless noted in a specific area. Cutoffs, swimsuits, and denim are prohibited in the Fitness Center.

• Cellular phones and other mobile devices may not be used for social media purposes on the fitness floor, in our locker rooms, or in our spa areas. Please use common courtesy when using mobile devices for working out and place them on mute or use them in conjunction with your headphones. Please reserve your phone calls for the Fitness Lobby or outside of the Fitness Center.

Fun Fact from our director

"Did you know that Briar Club members took the top 2 spots in both the “Male 49 and Under” and the “Male 50 and Over” during last years Triathlon? I want to note that The Briar Club did not have any female participants last year, but if we did, I am sure we would have swept all the categories!"
