Is it permissible to run within the facility if you are not on a treadmill or designated track?

Running within the facility is generally not permissible unless you are on a treadmill or a designated track. This policy is in place for several reasons. First, the safety of all gym members is a top priority. Running in confined spaces or areas not specifically designed for such activities can lead to accidents, potentially injuring both the runner and those around them. Furthermore, certain areas of the gym may be heavily trafficked with individuals using various equipment or engaging in other workouts, which increases the risk of collisions or distractions.

By restricting running to designated areas, such as treadmills or tracks, the facility can ensure a safer, more organized environment for everyone. This policy also helps staff maintain a focus on gym etiquette and order, making for a better overall experience for all members.
