Policy and Procedures

Attire and Footwear

The RAC reserves the right to determine the acceptability of all exercise attire. CRI staff decisions concerning appropriate clothing will be final. Failure to dress properly will result in denial of use of the RAC and/or participation in CRI programming.

If necessary, a RAC member or guest may be addressed by a staff member if the member's clothing is offensive to another user, is inappropriate, or if items pose a danger to self or others.

Appropriate attire is required at all times:

• Shoes that mark up hardwood floors have open toes or heels, and turf shoes are not permitted in any activity area within the RAC.
• Shoes, shirts, shorts and/or pants must be worn at all times.
• Clothing with offensive language, designs, or pictures is not acceptable.
• Jeans and zippered and/or metal riveted shorts/pants are prohibited due to the risk of ripping equipment upholstery and the risk of injury to self and others.
• Shorts must be long enough to cover the buttocks and groin when participant exercises or moves.
• Appropriate support and undergarments are required at all times.
• Thongs, patterned or colored undergarments that are visible when worn under light colored clothing are not permitted.
• Jewelry, which may cause equipment damage or poses a risk of injury, should be removed.

Inappropriate displays of public affections are prohibited in the facility as well as around M.C. Anderson Park. RAC employees ultimately have the discretion regarding acceptable behavior. Failure to comply with this RAC Policy will result in an immediate daily ejection. Blatant disregard for policy will result in an indefinite suspension.

Towels will be available for the participants of the RAC. We ask that each member take one towel per visit and return the towel in the designated towel return areas. The towels are located on the Cardio Deck and Machine Weight Room of the Fitness Center and are intended for use in the Fitness Center & Group Fitness Classes.
