Patrons of the RACC,
Due to Governor Walz face covering requirements and recommendations under Executive Order 20-81, all patrons of the RACC will be required to wear a face covering when inside the building starting on Saturday, July 25th. This includes too and from different areas of the building as well as during any light workout. Face coverings may be removed when exercising and exerting greater amounts of energy. We continue to ask you to follow our simple rules to keep you and all others safe as we return to our new normal.
What we ask from our patrons:
- Face coverings are mandated while inside the RACC. Face coverings may be removed while exercising.
- If you are not feeling well or have been sick within the past 3 days, we ask that you stay home.
- Please utilize our multiple sanitation stations scattered throughout the RACC.
- Members must go to customer service counter and use your barcode to check in. If you do not have your card, please notify customer service staff. We need to track all users of the RACC.
- Please grab a spray bottle of disinfectant. You will utilize this disinfectant (along with paper towels) to wipe down all equipment that you utilize while you are at the RACC. When done with your workout, we ask you to put the bottle of disinfectant in the “need to be sanitized tote” and RACC staff will take care of. You may also use disinfectant wipes located in the fitness room.
Continuous changes that still affect us:
- We are only allowed 25 people in the Fitness Room so we have moved some of the cardio equipment into the Fieldhouse. Feel free to use in either space.
- Only 1 person/family at the customer service counter at a time. All others must remain 6 ft. of each other.
- Tables will remain in the lobby. Each table will only have 2 chairs each.
- Facility will be for individual use only. No congregation of people will be allowed. Must bring your own basketball!
- There will be no coffee available to the public.
- Certain doors will be propped open to decrease the amount of touching by members and staff.
- Water fountains will be turned off except for the bottle filling stations. Please bring your own bottles.
- TV’s will be turned off as the remotes will be removed.
- Senior adult group fitness will not be allowed at this time. No timetable on a return.
- There will be no yoga mats available to the general public. Please bring your own.
