COVID-19 Campus Recreation FAQs

 Yes. Current campus policy requires masks to be worn at all times inside of buildings on campus. 

No - Campus Recreation is following MTSU policies regarding guests and visitors.  At this time, Campus Recreation will allow only students, faculty, staff and current members to participate in any of our programs or access any of our facilities. 

 Water fountains have been shut off. However, those that have hands free water bottle fill stations will still have access to those filling stations. 

 Fitness classes will still be offered. However, the following safe practices have been implemented:

• Requiring reservations through the portal or Campus Rec app for ALL group fitness classes so that our instructors can set their spaces up in advance to permit social distancing
• Reducing class size to meet current COVID event or facility capacities
• Reducing the number of in-person classes offered each day to allow our staff to do a thorough cleaning between classes
• Eliminating shared equipment from classes and instead providing modifications that don’t require equipment 
• Eliminating physical contact in classes such as yoga adjustments, use of partner exercises and high fives
• While we will still provide yoga and fitness mats, we encourage you to bring your own.

Campus Recreation has significantly increased the cleaning of all our facilities and equipment.  Our custodial staff are cleaning all areas more frequently and our student staff have increased the amount of cleaning of all equipment.  In addition, each night after we close, we are using a Hydrostatic system to deep clean and sanitize the facility. 

Spray bottles and towels will be provided for all members to wipe down any equipment they use before and after each use. 

Please take responsibility for your own safety.  Stay home if you are not feeling well.  Clean equipment, use masks, practice social distancing, limit your time in the facility, and adapt your workout.
