GENERAL:
All members and guests must check in at the front desk for all services and appointments (i.e., open gym, fitness classes, infrared sauna, cold plunge, personal training, nutrition counseling, etc.).

Exercise pre-participation health screening tools provide an authenticated means for new members to identify whether a level of risk exists that indicates that they should seek consultation from a qualified healthcare professional before engaging in a physical activity program.
If Babe Cave management is told that a current member or prospective member is pregnant or has a known cardiovascular, metabolic, or renal disease or any other self-disclosed medical concern that may affect the individual’s ability to exercise and/or utilize the cold plunge and/or sauna safely, medical clearance will be recommended and/or required.
