PART V – ATTIRE

Answer

GENERAL: Appropriate exercise attire is required. This includes comfortable, loose-fitting exercise clothing. Please do not exercise with keys, pens, pencils or other sharp objects.
PANTS: Athletic shorts and exercise/warm-up pants are acceptable. Pants or shorts with belts, denim, rivets, or cut-offs are restrictive, damaging or dangerous, and not allowed while using any activity area. Street clothing and/or business attire (suit & tie or skirt) compromises the safety of the wearer and contrasts with the recreational atmosphere of the SRWC and is not allowed while participating in any activity.
SHIRTS: For hygiene purposes and to prolong the life of the SRWC equipment, a shirt must be worn at all times and should cover all areas of the torso that come in contact with the fitness equipment. Any undergarment, such as a sports bra, is not permitted by itself and must be covered by a shirt.
SHOES: For safety purposes, closed-toed athletic footwear is required in all areas of the SRWC, except the hallways and shower/locker rooms, or during activities in the studios that do not require footwear. In an effort to minimize damage to the wood floors, the following footwear is prohibited in wood floor activity areas:
- dark-soled shoes which damage or mark the wood floor;
- any shoe suspected of damaging or marking the wood floor;
- all leather-soled street shoes;
- open-toed athletic footwear, sandals or flip-flops;
- muddy, dusty or dirty shoes;
- spikeless golf shoes;
- Astroturf™ shoes, cleats or metal/rubber spiked shoes

NOTE: Adherence to the above policy will preserve the floors from undue damage. If a participant is found to be wearing unacceptable shoes or no shoes, they may not continue their activity unless they change footwear; members and/or guests may not continue to participate in socks or bare feet.

LOANER CLOTHING: For hygienic reasons, Recreation & Wellness does not loan clothing to members who do not have the appropriate attire.
