In emails on Friday and Saturday, Iowa State Recreation Services announced new guidelines for State Gym beginning on Monday.

In the news release, Iowa State Recreation Services announced the hours at State Gym have been extended to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday with the first hour of each day being reserved for those who may be considered “high-risk population.”

When State Gym opened on June 15, reservations had to be made in order to be able to work out in the gym. 

Now reservations are no longer required. Any reservations secured for Monday and after are no longer valid. 

There is a maximum of 41 participants at one time, which has been in place since June 15. However, individuals will be able to move through the cardio and weightlifting areas. 

The news release also states social and physical distancing must continue to be followed.
