New Jersey City University Athletics

Dear NJCU Community:
 
Governor Phil Murphy and the New Jersey Department of Health has released guidance for the reopening of gyms, including indoor athletic fitness centers. The NJCU Department of Athletics and Recreation (JMAC) has proactively started the process of reviewing the state guidelines and preparing the John J. Moore Athletic Center to safely welcome back our students, faculty and staff.
 
A few major points of emphasis in the reopening guidance are the required maximum occupancy per designated area of 25%. All fitness equipment must be spaced out at least six (6) feet apart and all patrons must wear a mask or face covering inside the facility.
 

• The JMAC Fitness Center will open at 25% capacity on Monday, September 14 for students, faculty and staff;
• Hours for the Fitness Center and Pool will be from 6-11 a.m. and 5-7 p.m.;
• The practice block for student-athletes training will be from 12-4 p.m.;
• The Fitness Center will be closed for enhanced cleaning twice daily (11 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 4-5 p.m.);
• Prior to each requested use of the facility, patrons must register online at www.NJCUGothicKnights.com/JMAC one hour prior to your confirmed slot;
• Walk-ups will NOT be permitted into the facility;
• Online registration slots will be available on the hour (i.e. 6-6:45 a.m., 7-7:45 a.m.);
• Only 45-minute workout sessions will available for registration in the fitness center and swimming pool;
• Registrants will NOT be allowed to sign up for multiple time blocks on a given day;
• All patrons will be required to exit the fitness center at the 45-minute mark to allow for cleaning prior to the next time block;
• A mask or face covering must be worn at all times throughout the building. Exceptions are allowed only when doing so would inhibit the individual’s health, such as when in the water and in other situations where the presence of a mask would pose a risk to the individual’s health;
• All locker rooms will be closed and only restroom facilities will be accessible;
• Additional guidelines are provided on the Department of Health website.
