Member Rules & Regulations
[ Updated June 2008 ]
Welcome to Lynmar Racquet & Health Club. Our philosophy is to serve you, the member, in a courteous and professional manner and to encourage you to the fitness level you wish to attain. Our philosophy does not include physical examinations or medical advice; only your own personal physician is qualified to advise you on the amount and type of exercise to fit your needs. We recommend periodic check ups from your physician.

A member of Lynmar Racquet & Health Club assumes all responsibility for exercising in his or her present physical condition. The staff will be happy to answer questions about the facilities and assist you in your pursuit to better physical fitness.
