Summertime Etiquette at The Houstonian Club

Summertime at The Houstonian is a wonderful time, and it can be quite active around the Club as Members have more flexibility with their schedules and our youngest Members are out of school. Listed below are a few reminders to ensure, our Members enjoy the best possible experience in all areas of the Club during the summer months: 

1) When entering campus, please drive slowly and carefully, and adhere to our speed limits of 10 mph on the roads and 5 mph inside the garage.  

2) Always check in at the Welcome Desk upon your arrival, register your guests properly, and take a moment to update your profile photo if asked to do so. Should you have friends or family coming into town, please click here to arrange for a guest pass. Guest passes are also available from the Membership Office, Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. should you prefer to request one in person. Please use proper etiquette in the lobby areas. Couches are not to be used for lying down and end tables are not to be used as foot stools.

3) When using the Locker Rooms, please make sure to secure your belongings in a locker before leaving to take a shower or to exercise. Additional lock boxes are also available upon request from our locker room attendants. Please remember any photography, social media or Face Time is strictly prohibited In the locker rooms. 

4) When enjoying our pools, please place your towels and trash in the appropriate receptacles and leave the pool promptly after your pool reservation is completed. You are always welcome to check with our aquatics reservation desk to see if we are able to extend your reservation.
 
5) When moving through the common areas and hallways of the Club, please remind your children to walk, not run, as these areas are shared by Members of all ages. 

6) When utilizing the Kids Gym or Bungalow, please make sure you make reservations for your children in the age appropriate area to avoid any confusion upon arrival.

7) When attending a group exercise class, please wait outside the studio until the previous class has exited. Be courteous to your fellow Members and wipe down all exercise equipment when you have completed your workout.

8) While working out in the fitness center, please refrain from talking on your cell phone. If you need to take a call, please step outside the fitness center to avoid disrupting fellow Members. Children ages 12 - 15 must be youth certified before working out in the fitness center without a parent. Please contact the fitness department to make an appointment for your child’s youth certification by emailing fitness manager Travis Hudnall at thudnall@houstonian.com

9) When enjoying racquet sports, please be aware that we require specific attire in this area including shirts and/or workout clothing for all Members while on a tennis, pickelball or Padel court. 

Together we can make the Club an enjoyable experience for everyone. Have a great summer!
