The Family Fitness Rooms - download rules

The Family Fitness Rooms are offered as a convenience for Fitness Center patrons so children (ages 6mos - 7 years) are not exposed to dangerous adult exercise equipment, while affording parents an opportunity to receive quality fitness workouts. The concept is based upon each parent/legal guardian having line of sight responsibility of their children. The area will be divided into two (2) separate rooms; "Crawler Room", ages 6-11 months; "Toddler Room", ages 1-7 years. Parents/legal guardians are responsible for direct supervision of their children at all times while using the Family Fitness Rooms. The Air Force and its employees do not assume responsibility for children in the Family Fitness Rooms or the Fitness Center Annex.
