Non-marking shoes are required on all wood floors (i.e. basketball courts and group exercise studio, and track).

To promote a welcoming atmosphere, help protect our equipment and reduce the possibility of infection transmission, unaltered, sleeved T-shirts covering the torso, shoulders and armpit must be worn while using any strength or cardio equipment. Because of increased risk of injury, it is recommended that jewelry be removed prior to participating in any activities or before utilizing any equipment in the fitness areas. Please remember that jewelry is not permitted in any Intramural Sport contest.
