Adopted by the City Council on 4/6/2010 <br />Amended bV the City Counci! on 11/13/12 <br />� CITY OF PEQUOT LAKES FITNESS <br />ROOM POLICY <br />� # �, <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The City of Pequot Lakes strongly believes in a philosophy of promoting employee <br />wellness. While an employee wellness program benefits both the employer and employee, <br />this type of program benefits the community as a whole. Healthy employees tend to be <br />more productive and healthy employees require less City expenditures (i.e. City insurance <br />` costs; use of sick time and its related overtime expenses; etc.). It makes good sense for the <br />City to do as much as possible to have a healthy work force. An employee fitness room <br />with equipment is one part of a larger City wellness program that the City is working <br />toward implementing. <br />POUCY <br />It is difficult to establish rules when the City is encouraging everyone to utilize the <br />wellness room equipment; however, it has become apparent that some guidelines are <br />necessary. It is the intent of the City to keep rules and regulations at a minimum and to <br />keep the City exercise room and equipment policy simple. <br />EMPLOYEE AND GUEST <br />The City fitness/exercise room should not be viewed as a health club. The City offers use <br />of this room and equipment to all City employees and to one guest of the employee at a <br />time. Most employees desire to "work-out" with another individual and, in fact, another <br />individual serving as a spotter is required when using some of the equipment. This guest <br />can be a spouse, significant other, child over the age of eighteen, or a friend. Due to safety <br />and insurance issues, no individual under the age of eighteen is allowed in the fitness room <br />under any circumstance. <br />�..- <br />
