FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are face coverings required?
Is it safe to exercise with a face covering?
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).
How often are you cleaning the building?
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.
What cleaning solution are you using?
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.
What happens if someone does not follow these reopening policies?
Campus Recreation reserves the right to refuse service/access to any patron.
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.
