IXZI:II 11r_1 <br />City of Elk River <br />Fitness Room Policy <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The City of Elk River strongly believes in a philosophy of promoting employee wellness. <br />An employee wellness program benefits both the employer and employee as well as <br />the community. Healthy employees tend to be more productive, and healthy employees <br />reduce expenditures (i.e. city insurance costs; use of sick time and its related overtime <br />expenses; etc.). <br />In the spirit of a healthy workplace, the city provides and outfits a fitness room as one <br />part of a greater city wellness program. <br />POLICY <br />This policy encourages everyone to utilize the wellness room; with respect to limitations <br />of types of equipment, locker space and workout space. <br />Employee and Guest <br />The fitness room is not a health club. Use of this room and equipment is open to all city <br />and municipal utilities employees, and city council Members. Employees may bring one <br />guest at any one time. Guests are not allowed use of the facility without the Employee. <br />Guests must be over the age of eighteen (18). Due to safety and insurance issues, no <br />one under the age of eighteen (18) is allowed in the fitness room under any <br />circumstances. <br />Waiver <br />All employees who use the fitness room and equipment, and all guests, must sign a <br />release waiver prior to using the fitness room. This is a requirement of the city <br />insurance company. <br />Available Times <br />The fitness room is open 24-hours a day, but guests are only allowed with an employee. <br />Lockers and Showers <br />Lockers and showers are available. Lockers are intended to secure street clothes and <br />valuables while exercising, not as an extended use. Employees shall leave the locker <br />rooms in a clean, neat condition and shall not leave personal items in the lockers. <br />Employees should be courteous - keep your time limited in the locker rooms if others <br />are waiting. <br />The city does not provide towels for the locker room or for use with the equipment. <br />Page 144 of 447 <br />
