Fitness Education Center Environment:

1. Dress Code- All students must be appropriately dressed for PE activity.  Proper PE attire includes: a regular length T-shirt with short or long sleeves, shorts or other athletic bottoms, socks, and athletic shoes.  A regular length T-shirt must be long enough to cover the waistband of your pants or shorts completely, even during movement or activity. NO TANK TOPS, SHORT or HALF T-SHIRTS, CUTOFFS, JEANS, BELTS, SANDALS, SLIPPERS, STREET SHOES, CROCS, OR BOOTS ALLOWED.   PE clothing will be issued in the locker room exchange area, or students may bring their own appropriate workout clothing to wear.  Any student noted without proper attire will be asked to change clothes (or check out LCC attire available from the locker room), or they will not be allowed to complete a workout that day. Help us make the FEC a comfortable and clean place for everyone to workout.
2. Keep all food and drinks (except water) outside of the FEC.  We encourage you to bring plastic water bottles with lids that close securely so you can stay well hydrated with water during your workout.
3. In order to keep our equipment clean and functional, please wipe down the equipment after each use.  This increases the life of the equipment pads by keeping perspiration off of the upholstery and helps prevent the spread of germs.  Towels for personal use (sweat towels) are available at the FEC counter.  Small cleaning towels are available near the exercise machines. Please let a staff person know of any equipment that needs attention. 
4. No cell phone use (talking or texting) allowed while checked into the FEC for a workout .
5. Thank you for thinking of others! Please be considerate of other students around you: 
   • During our busiest times, please keep your workout on individual pieces of cardio equipment to a 30-minute time limit so that more students will get a chance to use them.
   • Please do not sit or rest on any of the weight equipment in between exercise sets – even if it appears that no one is waiting. Sitting on the equipment while you are resting or talking is not only impolite, it also slows down the flow of movement in the circuit area and can damage the pads due to extended compression and exposure to accumulated perspiration.
   • Students are expected to be respectful of all individuals (students, instructors, staff, etc) at all times.  Physical abuse, verbal abuse, threats, intimidation, harassment, coercion and/or other conduct which threatens or endangers the health or safety of any member of the college community will not be tolerated. A formal complaint will be filed against the student if any of the above occurs and the student will be asked to leave class immediately and will be required to meet with college officials.
   • Students are also expected to use the facilities and equipment properly, safely and for its intended purpose. Improper operation of equipment, throwing objects, wrestling, or rough activities are not allowed in the FEC at any time. Students participating in any of these activities will be asked to leave immediately, will be required to meet with the Fitness Coordinator and Division Dean prior to returning to class and a formal complaint may be filed.
6. All FEC users and guests need to be at least 16 years old.  Each registered FEC student is allowed to bring a visitor to experience our facility one time per term at no cost. Visitors will need to sign a courtesy visit waiver at the front counter. Guests who are age 16 or 17 will need parental or guardian signature. 
7. Due to safety and insurance concerns, children under 16 are NOT allowed in the FEC.  Students must make other arrangements for children during their entire FEC workout. Children cannot be left unattended in the hallway or wait inside the FEC.
