Ithaca College

With the spring semester quickly approaching we’re happy to announce that the Fitness Center will be reopening with reduced hours on Monday January 25th.  All students, faculty, and staff who will be living, learning, or working on-campus this semester are eligible to use the Fitness Center provided that they are in compliance with all testing and screening requirements and are cleared to access campus.  Members of the campus community who will be remote this semester will still have access to virtual fitness programming but will not be eligible to register for in-person activities or facility reservations.

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

• Access will be available by appointment only. Reservations can be made up to one day in advance at recreation.ithaca.edu.  A brief video tutorial can be found here.
• 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. All members 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, and storage cubbies will not be available for use.
