Working out safely
As facilities reopen this semester, students, faculty and staff must reserve two-hour time slots for their indoor workouts. You can sign up for a spot up to 48 hours in advance.
You will be required to wear a mask while at any of the facilities. Tar Heels are also expected to maintain at least 6 feet of distance from others — including friends and roommates. The Campus Rec team has modified its spaces to allow for appropriate physical distancing.
Available Campus Rec options open now include cardio and strength training equipment at Rams Head the Student Recreation Center, lap swimming at the Bowman Gray Memorial pool, walking trails and the disc golf course at the Outdoor Education Center, Hooker Fields, and the outdoor courts on the north campus and the South Campus Recreation Complex. The Challenge Course and climbing walls are also open with reservations.
Equipment such as locks, towels, mats and bands are not available. You’ll need to bring your equipment if you need it. Water fountains are also turned off, so don’t forget to bring a water bottle.
