Member guide
Welcome to Athena.
You didn’t just join a gym. You stepped into a space designed to support your evolution. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all fitness. We believe in training with intention, listening to your body and building strength that carries into real life.
We’re honored to be part of your journey. To help you settle in, here’s everything you need to know about our community.
First things first.
Get the App
Download Athena Fitness & Wellness for Apple or Android. It’s the easiest way to book, and it keeps you in the loop on workshops, events, specials and studio closures. It also counts every class you take, which is surprisingly fun to watch climb.
Turn on notifications so schedule changes and closures reach you right away.
arriving
Your first few minutes.
Check-in
Head to the front desk and give us your name. Your coach will handle the rest, but this helps us get to know you.
Snap a picture
While you’re there, we’ll take a quick photo for our staff in Mindbody. We love learning faces and names so we can welcome you personally every time you walk in.
Bring water
We have a drinking fountain, but we don’t sell bottled drinks. Bring your own reusable water bottle.
What to wear and bring
Gear and stability.
The right foundation
For lifting days, flat shoes, lifting shoes or bare feet give you the most stability. Save the running shoes for high-impact days.
Storage
Use the cubbies for bags and the hooks for coats. Please keep bulky items out of the equipment areas so the floor stays safe.
Mats and props
We provide mats and blocks. For yoga, you’re welcome to bring your own bolster or blankets for extra comfort.
kids and dogs
Protecting the peace.
We’re a family-friendly space. So everyone gets their hour of quiet, we have a few safety boundaries.
For the kids
Kids can play in the kids’ room, relax on the lobby couch, or sit quietly along the wall in the Strength Room. For safety, they can’t use equipment, run in the studio or handle retail items. Please do a quick sweep for toys and snacks before you leave.
For the pups
Well-behaved dogs are welcome on a leash. In the Strength Room, use the floor anchors. To protect members with allergies, dogs can’t be on the workout mats or in the Conditioning Room. If your pup barks or sheds, help us keep the peace (and the floor) by settling them or doing a quick vacuum after class.
photos and videos
Your privacy comes first.
We share our community
We often take photos and video during class for social media. It’s a big part of how our community grows.
You always get a say
Your waiver gives us permission, but we respect your bodily autonomy above all else. If you’d rather not be filmed, just tell us at the front desk or email us. We’re happy to oblige.
why athena is different
More than a place to work out.
Athena was never meant to be just a place to work out. It’s a space to reconnect with your body, rebuild trust with yourself, and step into a stronger, more grounded version of who you are.
We aren’t here for quick fixes or surface-level change. We’re here for long-term transformation, physically, mentally and emotionally. You’ll find strength here, but you’ll also find a community that genuinely wants to see you win.
We’re excited to grow alongside you.
