Contracted personal trainers and fitness instructors will be available through a professional, licensed, and screened fitness organization. No personal training other than by approved trainers is allowed in the fitness center or Overlook Clubhouse and Community Center general-purpose rooms. You may not train another person in the Fitness Center.
   
• Fitness classes will be offered on a weekly basis, for which a fee will be charged.
   
• All residents must be medically cleared in writing by a licensed medical professional PRIOR to beginning/using any Overlook Clubhouse and Community Center fitness activities, classes, or prior to using equipment. Medical documentation must be presented to the AD stating you are in good physical condition to participate in any activity (or a portion there of). Medical documentation will remain on file for future reference as needed. To ensure medical privacy, no specific medical diagnosis, treatment, or prognosis information is necessary to be on the medical clearance form.
   
• All residents will be required to be trained and certified in the use of personal equipment ie; treadmills, bikes, workstations before using such equipment.
   
• No exercise equipment (balls, bands, tubes, weights, etc.) may be removed from the Overlook Clubhouse and Community Center at anytime without prior authorization from the AD. Additionally, all equipment used must be returned to the area in which it originally belongs.

NOTE: PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT RAISE OR LOWER THE BLINDS IN EITHER THE BILLIARD OR FITNESS ROOMS!! Doing so will damage the blinds and make them inoperable. The blinds are designed to be opened and closed only. This is done by using the wand on the right side of each blind.

STREET SHOES AND FITNESS ROOM
This is the time of year when we ask our residents to not wear their street shoes into the fitness room while using the equipment. The sand and salt that is picked up when walking outside is not a healthy diet for the equipment. This can cause serious problems for the motorized parts of the cardio-equipment thus leading to repairs and/or costly replacement. Please bring a change of shoes to use in the fitness room. Thank you. [Source: Overlook Overview January 24, 2008]
