SRC Weight Room Policies
The following is prohibited:
- Food or drinks in an open container (i.e. cup).
- Glass containers, tobacco products, gum, alcoholic beverages, pets, and bikes
- Cleats or spikes footwear.
- Cell phone use in any of the restrooms or locker rooms.

General Use
- Equipment should always remain inside the weight room space (unless taken for use by a Personal Trainer or other verified UREC staff member for work purposes).
- UREC staff are available to provide spotting. We encourage students to take this protective measure on max lifts.
- Liquid chalk is allowed, but powdered chalk is not to be used.
- Participants should do their best to re-rack plate weights, dumbbells, and other attachments. This allows each participant to select their desired weight and keeps the space free from tripping hazards.
- Participants should also clean up their sweat and equipment after using the equipment.
- The use of clips is mandatory on all free-weight barbell lifts in which a weight plate is used and has the potential to shift or fall off during movement.
- Athletic shoes are recommended while in the weight room.
- Please make sure walkways around the weight room are clear of any equipment.
- Participants are expected to be respectful while engaging in the weight rooms. That includes correctly using equipment and fair treatment to other participants and UREC staff.
- Due to the nature of the lifts, Olympic lifting is only permissible in the Quinn Recreation weight room.
- Minimize dropping weight excessively.
- Please keep weights clear of windows and mirrors.
