MFC SAFETY COURSE
We recommend that anyone with questions
about the fitness equipment in the MFC
sign up for exercise equipment safety
course to become better familiarized
with the weight machines, free weight
area, and cardio equipment. The course
is free and needs be scheduled at the
MFC front desk. It needs to be
understood that our exercise equipment
safety course is not meant to be a
Personal Training session or a fitness
program. The intention of this course is
to better familiarize individuals with
the fitness equipment and safety polices
within the MFC and answer questions an
individual may have about proper use of
the equipment. The course is designed to
be a one-time course. Any additional
questions an individual may have can be
addressed at the MFC front desk.
As a result of the new exercise
equipment safety course, we have
modified the age requirement to use the
Mountaineer Fitness Center. The age
requirement to use the fitness center
now begins at 13. However, there
are some specific requirements for
individuals between the ages of 13-15 to
be able to use the exercise facility.
1. Any individual between the ages of
13-15 must be accompanied by a parent or
guardian, and must be exercising with
the parent or guardian (the parent or
guardian can not simply be in the room
-- they must be actively exercising with
the individual).
2. Individuals between the ages of 13-15
must complete the safety course
(provided by the MFC staff) prior to
using the facility. A parent or guardian
must attend the safety course with the
individual. See below for information
about the safety course for the summer.
We also require individuals ages 16-17
complete the safety course accompanied
by a parent or guardian. However, once
the safety course has been completed
individuals ages 16-17 may use the
fitness center without being accompanied
by a parent or guardian.
It is not required for individuals 18 or
older to complete the safety course;
however, we encourage anyone unfamiliar
with fitness equipment to complete the
safety course.
FOR THE SUMMER OF 2011
Throughout the summer there will be
safety courses offered every Friday at
1:30pm in the MFC classroom. If you are
interested in taking the course and this
time does not work for you, you may
inquire about alternative course
offerings at the MFC front desk.
Individuals must sign up for the course
at the MFC front desk prior to Friday.
This will help us know how many
individuals to prepare for.
