KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Learn more about what to expect for each of our classes below and learn the rules about attending a Group Fitness class at The Federal Way Community Center. It All Happens Here!
- Accountability: A resolution to exercise only works if you follow through, even when motivation wanes. Knowing that your classmates and instructor will notice your absence provides the push needed to get you to the gym. This built-in accountability helps ensure you stick to your exercise routine.
- Great Fitness Instructors: Worried about doing exercises correctly at home? In a group fitness class, instructors ensure everyone performs each exercise safely and effectively, maximizing your fitness benefits.
- Challenged to Push Yourself: Exercising alone can make it easy to slow down or stop when you’re tired. In a group setting, instructors and classmates motivate you to keep going, pushing you to achieve more than you would on your own.
- Group Exercise Classes are FUN!: To stay motivated, choose activities you enjoy. At FWCC, fun options like dance, water aerobics, and cycling, along with forming friendships and friendly competition, make fitness enjoyable and something to look forward to.
- Classes are for ages 12 and up.
- Bring your own mat to classes for hygiene reasons.
- Arrive on time. A good warm-up is an important part of a successful workout. Late arrivals are disruptive to the entire class.
- Stay for the whole class. The cool down is just as important as the warm-up. Leaving class early is disruptive to the flow of the class.
- Keep conversations to a minimum during class. It is disruptive to others who are trying to hear and follow the instructor.
- Participate in class. Please refrain from doing your own thing while in class. This helps support better class flow.
- Wait your turn. Please wait until one class is over before entering the studio for the one that follows.
- Phone/electronic free zone. Group exercise studios are phone/electronic free zones. Please silence or turn off your phones while participating in a class. Please leave the class to text or make a call.
- Dress appropriately for the class you’re taking. Open-toed shoes such as sandals, Crocs, and flip-flops are not allowed in the fitness center or fitness classes.
- Wipe down your equipment. Please wipe down the equipment after you use it. Gym wipes or spray bottle solution and paper towels are provided for you.
Return all equipment to its proper place after class is finished. - Store belongings in a locker. Please leave all of your belongings, besides a towel and water bottle, in a locker.
- Talk to us. Instructors love to hear your feedback. Group fitness classes are designed for you, so if you have feedback or a suggestion, let us know!
Individuals MUST register online for Free Group Fitness trial class prior to coming to class. Limit one per guest. Class availability and schedules are subject to change.
