Respect at GEL

We want to do our best to make sure that everyone at Glen Eira Leisure feels respected and safe.

What we are doing:

• Creating a reporting procedure for those that see or experience anti- social behaviour.
• Education through marketing and our own actions.
• Leading by example.
• Making Glen Eira Leisure facilities safe environments for all patrons and staff.

How we are doing it:

• If someone is doing something that makes you feel uncomfortable – you can report it.
• If you see something you think is disrespectful - you can report it.
• If you feel unsafe – you can report it.

Our desired outcomes are:

• Respect for each other
• Respect for our staff
• A safe Glen Eira Leisure community

You will see these QR codes throughout the Health Club. If you experience or see something disrespectful, you can scan the QR code and fill in the confidential form and our staff will follow up the issue. You can also always speak to one of our staff members.

Our RESPECT Guidelines

• We will refrain from staring or leering, no matter how attractive that other person is or how fabulous their outfit is. “If you are admiring an outfit for more than 3 seconds, it could be making someone uncomfortable, so eyes down!”
• We will only approach someone for a chat only if they have responded in an enthusiastic manner and are engaging in the conversation. “If someone is walking away as you speak to them, it is probably not enthusiasm they are showing!”
• We will not make comments about other people’s physical appearance - compliments can be great, but we don’t need them at the gym, as they can make people feel uncomfortable.
• We will respect those who are focused on their workouts and their gains. If someone puts their headphones back in, the conversation is over – please move on and keep training.
• We will ensure personal hygiene is maintained and we’re all smelling like roses – or at least not like old socks.
• Use your phone for playing your tunes and leave the selfies, Snapchat, Facetime for later - do not take photos or video of anyone in the gym.
