Fitness Center Policies

 

Part of the mission of the Fitness Center is to help students learn more about how to effectively and safely achieve and maintain improved levels of fitness. The following rules are intended to support the safe, effective, and fair use of the facility by all students.

 

I.D. Cards   Students are required to present a current Cuyamaca, Grossmont, or activity class I.D. when entering the Fitness Center. There will be no exceptions to this rule.  I.D. cards need to be worn and visible at all times.

 

Log-in & Log-out   All students must log in when they are ready to begin exercising. Leaving the fitness center while logged in will not be allowed except to use the restroom. Students must also log-out at the conclusion of their exercise session to receive credit hours.  Students are limited to no more than 1.5 hours credit per day in the fitness center. Students are limited to one visit per day.

 

Course Syllabi   All Fitness Center courses have written and attendance requirements. Students are responsible for obtaining the syllabus for his/her course and completing all requirements.

 

Towels   All students are required to have a workout towel. Students may rent a towel for $2.00. $1.00 will be returned to the student when the towel is returned at the conclusion of their exercise session. 

 

Clothing   Clothing appropriate to exercise must be worn while in the fitness center. Sleeveless shirts and non-athletic shoes are not permitted in the fitness center.

 

Cell Phones   For your safety and in consideration of other students, the use of communication devices (i.e. cell phones, Blackberrys, Bluetooth headsets) is not allowed on the fitness center floor.

 

Water Bottles   Water is the only drink permitted on the fitness center floor. Water containers must have lids.

 

Cardio Equipment Use   Students who plan to use a treadmill or an elliptical machine must sign up for the appropriate piece of equipment. You must adhere to the 15-minute time limit. The LED clock above the cardio training area counts down from 15 minutes to zero and then resets.  Please sign-up for only one time slot. If a machine becomes available after your time slot, you can sign up for an additional 15 minutes.

 

In addition, we ask that all students be considerate of others when using the rowers, bicycles and stair climbers by limiting their use to 30 minutes.

 

Hygiene   For health reasons and in consideration of other students:

-          Wear only clean, laundered exercise clothing in the fitness center. 

-          Wipe down the equipment after use.

-           Please consider using deodorant (NOT COLOGNE OR PERFUME) to control body odor.  Perspiration provides a breeding place for bacteria which causes body odor that is offensive to other students.

Finally, please remember that students using the fitness are expected to consistently engage in exercise activities.

 

Your adherence to the above rules is important to your safe and effective use of the Fitness Center. Your cooperation will benefit everyone.

 

Thank you for your cooperation!
