Member & Guest Policy

Effective August 22, 2019

Member & Guest Policy

At Healthy Living OKC (HLOKC), we have adopted policies and procedures to provide for the safe, enjoyable and healthy use of our premises. These policies apply to your conduct on HLOKC’s premises, which includes all indoor and outdoor areas, as well as its website and social media platforms. 

These policies supplement those posted, or otherwise provided in our Center, or at our events. We may adopt policies applicable to a single event. In some instances, the law may establish different requirements applicable to certain events and may not be called out here. To the extent of a conflict with other policies, the more restrictive policy applies. 

If you violate any of these policies, your membership or center access may be suspended or terminated. Management’s decision on all questions regarding construction or interpretation of these policies is final. 

We may change these policies at any time, without notice, in our sole discretion. You may find the most recent version of these policies at https://healthylivingokc.com/member-guest-policy/. As a member or guest at HLOKC, you are responsible for reviewing and complying with these policies.
