TWU Fitness and Recreation Dress Code Policy

TWU Fitness and Recreation’s dress code has three primary purposes:

1. Attire should lend itself to a safe and effective workout based on the chosen activity
2. Attire should assist us in prolonging the life of our equipment and facilities
3. Attire should promote an atmosphere that is welcoming, inclusive, and non-intimidating

Activity-based appropriate attire is required at all times. This includes, but is not limited to, clothing that covers the chest, athletic bottoms, and athletic shoes that cover both the heels and toes. For example, swimsuits and swim footwear are limited to the aquatics areas and bare feet may be allowed in mind-body/yoga group fitness classes. Flip flops, sandals, Crocs, opened-back shoes, and boots are not allowed. Jeans and any pants with buttons or hardware (zippers, rivets, belts, or studs) are prohibited due to harm they could cause to some of the equipment

Holidays and Semester Breaks

TWU Fitness and Recreation follows the University’s academic calendar, and therefore, reserves the right to reduce hours during breaks, between academic semesters, and during the summer. During semester breaks, TWU Fitness and Recreation may reduce hours and programs offered. During inclement weather, Fitness and Recreation will follow all university closings.

Equipment and Facility Issues

For safety reasons, please report equipment failure to Fitness and Recreation staff. Fitness and Recreation members are encouraged to refrain from dropping weights and slamming pin machine plates, return all equipment to their designated storage areas, and to disinfect exercise equipment before and after usage. No outside equipment is allowed in the fitness center.

Group Exercise Classes

Group exercise classes are first come, first serve attendance. Class attendance is based on room size and class activity for safety purposes. Admission into classes is not allowed 10 minutes after the start time. In the event a class is cancelled or altered, Fitness and Recreation staff will work to accommodate class needs.

Music

Fitness and Recreation attempts to play music that will appeal to a broad audience. We encourage our members to bring headphones and personal music devices as we do not accept song or station requests.

Lockers

Lockers are available on a first come, first serve basis in both men’s and women’s locker rooms. Members are encouraged to lock their valuables using their own lock. Combination locks are available for purchases at the Front Desk. Any locks left on lockers after closing time will be removed and contents stored in the Lost and Found located at the Front Desk for no more than 14 days (unclaimed contents will be donated to charity or disposed of).
