Tips for Staying Healthy at The Rec

Germinator

Staying Healthy at The Rec
For the month of November, we are highlighting ways for you stay healthy while working out at The Rec:

  • Germs spread easily so make sure you wipe down the equipment each time before and after use.
  • Checkout a towel and only let one side make contact with equipment.
  • Gym equipment carries germs from anyone who used it over the course of the day, so it’s important to wash your hands after every workout.
  • Wear flip flops in the shower to avoid foot fungus and the virus that causes plantar warts.
  • To get ahead of flu season we are holding free flu shots for CU Boulder students in our wellness suite on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1PM-3PM and Tuesdays from 5PM-7PM.

Every night our weight room staff sanitizes and cleans our facilities, the most important part of this process is what our staff has dubbed the “germinator” a special disinfecting gun that can spray down and clean the entire weight room!
