Grinder Gym shares a parking lot with World Gym. It's a large lot but it gets very crowded at peak workout times. If you take a 5pm or 6pm class, be sure to allow at least 20 minutes to find parking and make your way up to the Grinder so you can loosen up before class.

Does Grinder Gym have a locker room or place where valuables can be stored?

Your Grinder membership includes a membership to World Gym. There are lockers there but you must bring your own lock. There's a rack to hang your keys at Grinder Gym and you're welcome to keep your clothes or other items next to your workout mat...as long as you don't trip on them!

Can I wear my iPod to class?

There will always be fast paced music playing during your workout but if you want to have music while you're running the stairs or lunging across the parking lot, that's fine. Just be sure you turn the volume down so you can hear your instructor.

Is there anything I should do before class begins?

Always check in downstairs at World Gym before class and make sure you allow time to stretch out and loosen up prior to the start of class. Classes begin promptly on the hour so make sure you allow adequate time to park, check-in at World Gym and stretch out.

What must I bring with me to class?

Grinder Gym provides your workout mats, dumbbells, and other fitness equipment but you absolutely must bring water or ReddRox^TM so you can stay hydrated. Of course, you should plan on bringing your highly motivated attitude with you as well!

What if the exercise we're doing causes pain or due to injury I'm unable to do it?

Let your instructor know and he or she will be able to substitute exercises that work similar muscle groups that don't cause pain.
