Policy Updates (during COVID-19)

Face Mask Policy:  In response to both concerns by students and the changing atmosphere related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are updating our mask policy for both Krise Fitness Center and the Wellness Center. Patrons will be required to wear masks at all times in both facilities except when they are working out on cardio equipment (elliptical, arc trainer, treadmill, bike, and stair climber). Unless you are actively working out on those cardio items, you must wear a mask. This includes while utilizing core equipment, strength training machines, free weights, squat racks, and when moving between equipment. This will help us in our efforts to slow the spread and keep our campus safe. Thank you for your understanding and compliance.

Guest Policy: At this time, no guest passes or guests will be admitted to the facility.

Facility Updates: Machines have been placed six feet or more apart, so no machines or equipment can be moved.  Water fountains will be turned off due to the pandemic as well.

Cleaning Efforts: Sanitizing wipes will be available in the facility at all times.  Patrons must clean machines before and after each use.  Staff will also assist in wiping down equipment hourly, and professional cleaning company will clean and sanitize daily.

Other Policies: Items left in the facility will be discarded nightly.  Patrons must all wear shirts, shorts/pants, and appropriate shoes.  Changes to policies may occur throughout the semester due to the fluid nature of the pandemic.  Notifications will be sent via WLU email and posted at the facility as well.
