Code of Ethics for “Revenge Workout” Class

Purpose Statement: The “Revenge Workout” class is a supportive, fun, and empowering environment where women can process raw emotions, unleash their rage, and feel validated in a safe and private space. The class is designed to foster emotional release, camaraderie, and physical empowerment through a structured and respectful environment.

1. Respect for Privacy

• Confidentiality is key: What happens in class, stays in class. No personal stories, drawings, or code words shared or created in class should ever be discussed outside the group without explicit consent.

• All participants have the right to express their emotions anonymously. Using symbols, drawings, or code words ensures that no specific names or identifying details are disclosed.

2. Emotional Safety

• This is a judgment-free zone. Participants are encouraged to express their emotions without fear of criticism, shaming, or invalidation.

• Be mindful of others' emotional journeys. While venting is encouraged, language or actions that target other participants or disrupt the group’s supportive atmosphere will not be tolerated.

3. Physical Safety

• Proper warm-up, technique, and equipment use are mandatory. The class instructor will guide all participants to ensure safe execution of movements.

• Listen to your body and communicate any physical discomfort or injuries immediately.

• Protective gear and hand wraps are required when striking bags to prevent injury.

4. Positive and Supportive Environment

• All participants are here for growth, healing, and empowerment. Treat fellow members with kindness, encouragement, and camaraderie.

• Celebrate each other’s progress. Whether it’s hitting harder, releasing pent-up emotions, or simply showing up, every step forward matters.

5. Fun and Empowerment

• This class is about more than just venting anger. It’s a space to rediscover strength, resilience, and joy. Embrace the humor and creativity in the process.

• Laugh, connect, and let go. Rage can be cathartic, but so can laughter.

6. Instructor Role

• The instructor is a guide, not a therapist. They will provide physical instruction, emotional validation, and help maintain the integrity of the space but will not provide professional counseling.

• The instructor reserves the right to remove anyone who violates this code of ethics, ensuring the safety and comfort of all participants.

7. Community Accountability

• Participants share responsibility for creating a safe and empowering space. Speak up if you witness behavior that violates this code or undermines the class’s purpose.

• Report concerns to the instructor confidentially and promptly.

8. Inclusivity and Non-Discrimination

• This class welcomes women from all walks of life, regardless of background, fitness level, or personal story.

• Discrimination or exclusion based on race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or any other factor will not be tolerated.
