To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience during your first workout at the Northcote Aquatic Recreation Centre (NARC) gym, we recommend coming prepared with the following essentials:
Checklist for Your First Gym Visit
-
Towel 🧼
Bringing a towel is essential for hygiene and courtesy. Please use it to wipe down equipment after use.
Forgot yours? Towels are available for purchase at reception or via the vending machine for as little as $3.50. -
Water Bottle 💧
Staying hydrated is important during physical activity. Bring a refillable water bottle with you—our facility offers multiple refill stations.
Need a drink? Beverages and protein shakes are also available from the onsite café and vending machines. -
Appropriate Footwear 👟
Wear closed-toe, supportive athletic shoes designed for exercise.
Please note: Barefoot access, open-toe shoes, and dress shoes are not permitted for safety reasons. -
Membership Band 🎟️
Your membership band is required to check in at the health club entrance. It also enables access to cardio equipment and complimentary lockers.
Forgot your band? You may be granted entry up to 3 times without it. After your third visit without a band, a replacement must be purchased to continue using the health club. -
Phone 📱
We encourage members to bring their phones to take advantage of features on the Technogym Member App, such as accessing your prescribed workout and logging into equipment.
Important: For safety and to maintain a focused environment, please avoid using your phone for texting, calls, or social media while exercising.
