Ithaca College

In preparation for our highly-anticipated return to on-campus activities during the spring semester the Division of Student Affairs and Campus Life is moving forward with a limited reopening of the Fitness Center from Wednesday, November 4, 2020 through Friday, November 20, 2020. During this trial reopening, Fitness Center memberships will only be available to students who are residing on-campus this fall. This period will be used to test our revised facility access and safety protocols, serving as an important step in our goal to expand access and accommodation to a larger campus population during the spring semester. 

The Fitness Center’s hours of operation from 11/4/20 – 11/20/20 will be: 

Monday – Thursday: 12pm-2pm, 5pm-7pm 

Friday: 12pm-2pm 

Saturday: 12pm-3pm 

Sunday: Closed 

While we’re working hard to create a safe exercise environment, students should expect to see significant changes to the Fitness Center’s operation.  Some highlights include: 

• Access will be available by appointment only. All students and staff must provide proof of completing their daily COVID symptom screening upon arrival. 

• A face covering must be worn at all times while in the Fitness Center except while eating or drinking.  Gaiters, bandanas, and buffs are not considered acceptable face coverings for use in a gym. 

• Building occupancy will be limited to 50 persons at a time. Guests will be required to use their Ithaca College ID to check-in and check-out of the facility. 

• Close-contact activities such as partner workouts and recreational sports will not be permitted. 

• Towel service and shower facilities will not be available. 

• Locker room capacity will be greatly reduced. Storage cubbies will not be available for use.
