PET POLICY

PET POLICY

KEEPING EACH OTHER COMFORTABLE

We love our furry friends, but the Grotto is a no pet zone. 

This is to ensure all participants feel comfortable in the gym, to avoid additional cleaning requirements of staff, and so our staff do not need to enforce guidelines for pet owners. 

 

Service animals fall outside of this policy as they are not pets.
