Facility Rules & Guidlines

Help Us Keep CCBA a Safe, Welcoming Space for Everyone

At the CCBA, we are more than just a gym—we are a community foundation here in Lebanon, NH. To ensure that the Witherell Recreation Center remains a safe, positive, and enjoyable environment for members of all ages and abilities, we ask that you observe the following community guidelines during your visit.


Thank you for helping us maintain the supportive atmosphere that makes CCBA special!

Arrival & Check-In

  • Check-In: Please stop by the front desk to scan your membership card every time you visit. It helps us greet you and keep the facility secure!
  • Profile Photo: For everyone's safety, we require current contact information and a profile photo for all members and day-pass holders. Please remove hats and sunglasses for your picture.


Facility Etiquette

  • Be Courteous: We pride ourselves on our friendly culture. Please be considerate of other members, avoid profanity, and share equipment. If you aren't actively using a machine, please allow others to work in.
  • Phone Use: To respect everyone's privacy, cell phones and electronic devices are NOT permitted in locker rooms or saunas.
  • Audio: Please use headphones for personal music. We want everyone to enjoy their own workout rhythm without distraction.
  • Space Priority: CCBA scheduled programs take priority over drop-in activities.
  • Training Policy: Only CCBA staff are authorized to provide personal training, coaching, or form correction.


Dress Code & Gear

  • Footwear: Help us protect our floors! Please bring a separate pair of clean, non-marking sneakers to change into before entering the gym or fitness studios.
  • Attire: Shirts, sports bras, or tank tops are required at all times. Please avoid clothing with inappropriate language or imagery.
  • Locker Rooms: We strongly recommend using a lock to secure your belongings (lockers are available for rent). Please keep bags off the floor and ramps to prevent tripping hazards. Note: CCBA is not responsible for lost or stolen items.


Health & Safety

  • Substance Policy: Alcohol, drugs, weapons, smoking, and chewing tobacco are strictly prohibited on CCBA property.
  • Safety First: Please report any equipment issues or injuries to staff immediately.
  • Environment: To keep our space safe for everyone, horseplay, running (outside of track/sports), and fighting are not tolerated.
  • Liability: Please exercise within your limits and consult a doctor before starting a new routine. Use of the facility is at your own risk.

A Note on Community Standards: Our staff is here to help! If a team member requests your cooperation with these rules, please adjust your behavior. Actions that threaten the safety or comfort of our community (such as fighting or disorderly conduct) may result in suspension or termination of membership without refund.
