Â
Using cell phone cameras or any other recording devices in Club locker rooms or other private spaces, including spas, saunas, steam rooms, bathrooms and showers is strictly prohibited, and will be grounds for termination of your membership and potentially legal action. If you see someone taking photos or videos in a locker room or other private space(s), please notify a Club team member immediately.
Â
Filming of others without their verbal or written consent is a violation of their privacy and our policy. Shaming or embarrassing others in any way and for any reason is not ok and you should not record videos or photos for that purpose. Non-consensual photos or videos of other members anywhere in the club can subject you to civil and/or criminal liability.
Â
Don’t monopolize equipment, machines or an entire area of the club for a personal photo/video shoot. Additionally, the club is not a filming studio and photoshoots don’t burn calories. Put away the cameras and tripods. Keep it to a single camera (like the one on your phone) and nix all tripping hazards. Club is an inclusive equal opportunist and wants all members to have an equal opportunity to work out. If photo/video taking impacts this at all, Club will ask you to refrain from taking photos and videos.

Privacy:Â Any posts/comments containing personal or identifiable information. Any image of other members, guests or Club Fitness staff without express permission. For inquiries about Club Fitness staff or other members, please contact us directly.

Respect:Â Posts or comments containing disrespectful, sexual, or abusive language will be removed. Club Fitness may report and block any users who break these guidelines.
Â
Content:Â Club Fitness advocates for the use of social media as a platform to network, exchange ideas and discover the Club Fitness brand. Irrelevant messages, spam, commercial and/or political messages will be deleted.
Â
Copyright:Â Do not share content that violates the copyright or intellectual property of others on our social media channels without proper consent and/or acknowledgment.
Procedures: The purpose of this Operating Procedure (OP) is to regulate and establish procedures regarding the use of video surveillance (“video surveillance systems” or “VSS”) for purposes of safety and security. Management periodically assesses where VSS are or should be installed for the purpose of protecting Club team members and members. Management will maintain a master inventory of all video surveillance cameras installed on Club premises.
Â
Equipment and Network Maintenance:Â Troubleshooting, routine maintenance, and minor repairs of VSS equipment, and software will be handled by management.
Â
Placement of Video Surveillance Systems:Â All VSS cameras are located so that personal privacy is protected. Use of VSS in locker rooms, shower areas, or other areas where there would be a reasonable expectation of privacy will be avoided with respect to all surveillance within the scope of this OP. Â
Â
Required Notice of Video Surveillance: While there may be no legal requirement to do so, signs may be posted at each club entrance notifying individuals that they are under surveillance. The following language may be used: “This area is always monitored by a video surveillance system. For questions, please contact Club management at srdirectorrap@municipalgym.com Â
Â
Security and Retention of Video Surveillance System Recordings: Surveillance records for VSS are typically stored for a period of not less than thirty (30) days, and may be erased or written over as space is needed, unless retained as directed by Club management. VSS records may be retained beyond thirty (30) days in Club management’s discretion, particularly any time there is an incident of any nature or severity that is depicted. Further, VSS records that contain personal information used to make a decision directly affecting an individual may be maintained. Requests for retention beyond the thirty (30) day period should be documented in an effort to ensure that preservation occurs in an efficient and effective manner and that requests are properly noted. All VSS records that have been retained pending the final outcome of an investigation should be numbered, dated, and securely retained in a location to be determined by Club management. Preserved materials may be destroyed in a secure manner after they are no longer needed for the purpose for which they were preserved, and their destruction should be documented.
Â
Monitoring and Accessing the Recordings of Video Surveillance Systems:Â This OP does not imply or guarantee that VSS will be monitored in real-time. All monitoring, recording, and viewing of recorded activities shall be conducted only at the express direction of Club management. This OP does not create or imply any duty on the part of Club to install any Video Surveillance Systems or to monitor or access same, or to create or preserve any recorded video.
Â
Release of Video Surveillance System Recordings:Â All requests or demands for access to recorded images captured by a Club VSS, including requests by law enforcement agencies or others, must be conveyed immediately to Club management. This OP does not create or imply any duty on the part of Club to install any Video Surveillance Systems or to monitor or access same, or to create or preserve any recorded video.
