FitRec Cell Phone Policy

Did you know that FitRec has a No Cell Phone Use Policy? Once you pass through the turnstile in FitRec, there is no cell phone use allowed, including talking and texting.

Watch Rhett enforce our No Cell Phone Policy!

 

 

Here's why:

  • Most phones have cameras and those pose major privacy concerns- like people unknowingly having their picture taken;
  • Phones are disruptive in classes;
  • Phones can be distracting and we have a lot of machinery and equipment that require concentration - talking on the phone becomes a safety hazard around this equipment.

Please visit the front desk if you would like clarification on this policy.
