When you enter Release, you get a chance to Escape Everyday Life. We offer our members a unique experience in the heart of Antwerp at different locations, every single day.
As we do our best for you, we hope you do the same for us by following our principles to ensure our club remains an everyday escape.
GENERAL
- Mandatory check-in: always check in at the front desk before your session.
- Place your bike in the designated area where it won’t block our entrance or the passage.
- Place your scooter/bike/motorbike outside, Release does not offer parking spots inside.
- Smoking or vaping on the premises is by all means forbidden.
- Drinking alcohol is not allowed unless there is an event at our club.
- The use or distribution of both hard and soft drugs is strictly prohibited under any circumstances.
- Always bring a towel when coming to the gym. If you do not have one, you can rent one at our front desk. For € 15 a month have access to unlimited towels, with a maximum of two towels per session (a small towel and a large one).
ALLROUND BEHAVIOUR
- Respect others and treat everything and everyone how you (and your belongings) would like to be treated. For some people, Release is their second home and we hope someday, our club will mean the same to you. Please treat our safe haven with appreciation and care.
- At Release, everybody gets the opportunity to be themselves and to not be disturbed by others. Therefore, we created a female zone. Our female zone is solely for female members, men are not allowed in this area.
- Transgressive behaviour and inappropriate (sexual) actions, meaning any behaviour that might cause harm or trouble, are by all means prohibited. The use of substances such as steroids or doping is strictly forbidden at our club.
ATTIRE
We encourage self expression while maintaining a respectful environment. Please follow our club’s dresscode.
- No bare upper body.
- Only gym shoes except if you attend a Reform/ Recharge/ Move class.
- Tank tops with excessively deep cuts or that expose the nipples are not permitted.
- No clothing that might provoke others.
NOISE
- Please don’t be excessively loud at our club. Of course you can express excitement when you’ve finished your killer workout but think about our other members who could be completely focused at that exact moment.
- We have funky playlists at our club carefully curated by Ajna, Delafino and many more. If you’re not into these beats, you can play your own music. Keep in mind that while doing so, you use your headphones.
EQUIPMENT
Our equipment is from the highest quality, so use it with care and consideration.
- Clean the appliances after your use with the provided spray bottles and paper towels.
- Don’t occupy our equipment longer than necessary.
- When using our weights (dumbells, barbells, kettlebells, etc.), make sure that you do not drop them but place them gently on the floor and put them back at its place.
GROUP CLASSES
Group classes are a fundamental part of our club's success. We offer a wide variety of classes, from performance rides to boxing to sound baths. Therefore, we'd like to give each member attending one of our classes the best experience they can have. This means that there are a couple of rules that come along with it.
You start your membership with 5 points. Each time you booked a class but you don’t cancel ahead of time, you will lose one point. Once you have 0 points, you need to pay a 35 euro fine. This is reasonable considering you are taking away someone else’s chance to join the class.
DRESSING ROOMS
- Keep the showers clean: use the mop provided.
- Lockers are available for use only while in the gym. Use our lockers accordingly to put away your gear. Please do not occupy a locker when not using the facilities.
- Throw away all trash before leaving.
TRIPOD USE
To maintain a safe and comfortable workout environment for everyone, the use of tripods is prohibited in our studios.
CAMERA USE
- Faces should not be visible in any photos or videos unless permission is given.
- Professional filming for documentaries, television programs and/or commercial purposes is not allowed in our studios without prior approval from Release Management.
SAUNAS
We believe in the saying ‘Mens Sana in corpore sano’. Wellness and fitness go hand in hand, therefore you may enjoy our saunas. But with great benefits also comes great responsibility, which is why there are some rules to follow.
- The sauna is a place to relax. Use it in silence.
- Respect each other’s personal space.
- Always bring a towel in the sauna. Shower before entering to maintain cleanliness.
- For hygiene reasons, it is not allowed to wear clothing in the sauna.
- It is not allowed to eat in the sauna. To stay hydrated, please bring your own water in a plastic bottle; glass is not allowed. Plastic bottles are allowed only if heat-resistant and kept on lower benches or outside the sauna to prevent warping or chemical release. Sodas and other drinks are prohibited in the sauna areas.
- Please leave all electronic devices in your locker.
We thank you for respecting our House Rules. If you have any further questions regarding our House Rules, please contact our Club Management team via hello@release-antwerp.be.
