Once completing the training session, the 12 year-old will be given a green wristband that must be worn at all times while in the club. For children who have not completed this training session, the rules for children under 12 apply.

Ages 13 to 15: After completing their training session with a Fitness Specialist, 13-15 year-olds will receive a blue wristband that must be worn at all times while in the club. Teens 13-15 may work out without their parent. acac reserves the right to revoke this privilege if it is determined that a young adult is not adhering to acceptable standards of conduct. If this privilege is withdrawn, the rules for ages 12 apply.

Ages 16 and Up: Members ages 16 + are not required to complete a teen training session to workout in the club. A training session with a Fitness Specialist will be scheduled if requested. Teens 16 + may workout in the club without their parent. acac reserves the right to revoke this privilege if it is determined that a young adult is not adhering to acceptable standards of conduct.
