STLCC’s new Fitness Center hours have recently been slightly adjusted for the fall semester. Meramec’s Fitness Center will now be open on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m, but will have extended hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, being available for use by students, staff and faculty from 8 a.m.-6 p.m.
As a reminder, before using the equipment, participants need to register for and undergo a few brief training modules that go over the Fitness Center’s policies, as well as general fitness and workout information. Registration for these modules can be accessed through the college’s website. The modules, collectively, shouldn’t take longer than 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Once a participant has completed the course, they’ll need to fill out some additional information and complete a liability waiver.
When arriving at the Fitness Center for the first time, participants will need to inform the attendant on duty that it is their first visit and that they have completed this course. At that point, the attendant will verify that the appropriate documents are in order and may ask for additional registration information that will be entered into the Center’s check-in system. Participants will need to be photographed, and then will receive a key tag that they’ll use to scan in each time they use equipment in the Fitness Center after.
While the training modules can be seamlessly completed online, they also can be completed in person at the fitness center if one so chooses.
