Per University policy and the Governor of Wisconsin's Emergency Order, face coverings are required while indoors.
Most people can perform their regular workouts while wearing a face covering, which will provide protection from virus spread for everyone. It is essential to remind exercise enthusiasts to monitor how they feel during the workout and to take particular notice if they feel dizzy, lightheaded, or short of breath Individuals with a pre-existing respiratory or cardiovascular condition are encouraged to take caution when exercising with a face mask (Capritto, 2020).
UWRF students with 8+ credits do not need to purchase a membership at this time and will have access starting on August 24th.

Campus Recreation will operate with a zero-tolerance policy throughout the reopening phases. Failure to follow the posted guidelines and policies will result in being asked to leave, possible suspension for the remainder of the reopening phase, and no refund.
We understand that change is hard and our phased approach to re-opening has been embraced by some and has constrained others. Your health and safety is our number one priority. We are confident that this phased approach is the best way to prioritize the health and well-being of our members, staff, and the communities we serve.
We have been and will continue to work with local health professionals, our cleaning supply company, UWRF leadership, public health personnel, and college recreation colleagues to ensure best practices are maintained. And we will continue to listen to members’ concerns and making adjustments as needed. Please let us know what we can do to make you feel more comfortable and safe.
Reopening guidelines issued by the state of Wisconsin and national organizations discourages shared equipment especially if difficult to clean or disinfect. This guideline follows best practices in the industry.
In addition to the patron cleaning before and after use, Campus Recreation Staff will clean all equipment surfaces multiple times per day. High touch surfaces (door handles, turnstiles, etc.) will be cleaned continuously throughout the day. Falcon Center Operations Staff will completely disinfect the facility every night. All cleaning procedures will be tracked for assurance.
We use Clorox Commercial Solutions Clorox Total 360 Disinfectant Cleaner and Peroxide Multi Surface Cleaner and Disinfectant. These products are a one-step, cleaning, disinfectant. It is effective on hard and soft surfaces and safe for skin contact.
Wisconsin guidelines recommend physical distancing of at least 6 feet while exercising. It is in the best interest of the Falcon Center community that we ensure compliance with this guideline, so spotting and sharing equipment will be prohibited during this time. We ask that you alter weights or exercise type to maintain safety.
