Workout Zones
Workout Zones have been created within the Athletics Centre to meet physical distancing requirements, and to give Trent students and members the ability to reserve a workout in advance through our online booking system. All students and members who wish to visit the Athletics Centre for a workout, must reserve their workout in advance. No walk-ins will be permitted.
Each Workout Zone is designed by relocating pieces of fitness equipment normally located in the Sport Centre and distributing them to other rooms, including the mezzanine (2nd floor), Fitness Studio 1, and Fitness Studio 2. Each Workout Zone provides each person with 4 square metres of personal space. All fitness equipment is spaced at least 2metres apart, and where it is not possible to achieve this distancing, equipment has been taken out of use. Plexi-glass barriers are installed between cardio and strength equipment as an additional measure to support heath and safety.
As part of the online booking process, students and members can select a specific Workout Zone of their choice, according to availability. A full description of the equipment available in each workout zone is listed below. The workout appointment schedule includes a 30-minute time period between appointments to allow for the transition of people to and from the Athletics Centre and for the clean and disinfecting of the facility and equipment.
All workout areas have specific pathways for entering and exiting spaces, using floor or wall signage, and students are asked to move uniformly through the workout areas to reduce random movement on the floor.
The sharing of equipment or movement into another individual’s workout zone is not permitted. Athletics Centre staff are available to monitor workout rooms and answer any questions you may have.
