House Rules

1. Access and safety (24/7 operation)

Strict identification: Access to the studio is only permitted with your personal EGYM wristband in combination with the GymID check-in (QR code or Face ID).

No access for others: It is strictly forbidden to open the door for third parties (including other members) or to let them into the studio. Any violation incurs a contractual penalty of €250.00, and the contract may be terminated without notice.

Video surveillance: For your personal safety and to prevent vandalism, the training areas are under video surveillance around the clock. Changing rooms, showers and toilets are of course excluded.

In an emergency: During unstaffed hours (night and off-peak hours), you train at your own risk. Before you start training, familiarise yourself with the location of the telephone, the first-aid kit, the AED defibrillator and the emergency exits.

2. Mandatory induction & equipment use

Mandatory initial setup: The software-controlled EGYM strength machines, EGYM Flex machines and smart cardio equipment may only be used after a completed and documented induction by our qualified staff.

Injury prevention: Using the equipment without prior onboarding is at your own risk. The studio is not liable for injuries caused by incorrect operation or by disregarding the software-controlled settings.

Additional equipment (VACUMED): The VACUMED device may only be used after prior booking and once medical contraindications have been ruled out. Operating it without prior authorisation is prohibited.

3. Hygiene and cleanliness

Clean sports shoes: The training area may only be entered in clean indoor shoes brought specifically for training. Training in street shoes, socks or barefoot is prohibited for hygiene and safety reasons.

Towels required: A clean training towel must be used as a cover on all equipment and mats, so that there is no direct skin contact with the upholstery.

Disinfection: After use, clean the handles, displays and seats of the cardio and strength equipment with the disinfectant wipes/products provided.

4. Order and mutual respect

Consideration: Please be considerate of others – the studio is a place of community.

Phones and media: Keep phone calls on the training floor to a minimum. Playing music or videos through loudspeakers is not permitted; please use headphones. Photographing or filming other members without their express permission is strictly prohibited.

5. Lockers and valuables

Daily use: The lockers in the changing rooms are available to members only during their training session. The studio is entitled to open and empty lockers that remain locked after training or overnight.

Liability for theft: The studio accepts no liability for the loss or theft of clothing, valuables or money from the lockers, unless the studio is guilty of gross negligence. Please do not leave valuables unattended.

6. Prohibitions

Glass bottles: You are welcome to bring your own drinks, provided they are in unbreakable plastic or metal bottles. Glass bottles are prohibited throughout the training area.

Smoking and drugs: Smoking is strictly prohibited throughout the building (including e-cigarettes/vapes). The consumption of alcohol, illegal drugs and performance-enhancing substances (doping) is prohibited and will result in an immediate ban from the premises and a criminal complaint.

Commercial activities: Members may not offer paid private personal training to other members without written permission from the studio management.

7. Domestic authority

The studio staff and the owner, Stefan Brüling, exercise domestic authority (house rights). Staff instructions must be followed immediately. Serious or repeated violations of these house rules may result in a temporary ban or exclusion from the studio (termination of membership without notice).
