Fitness Center Policies

Below are the policies and rules for the proper use of the Lincoln Laboratory Fitness Center. If there is anything you don't understand, please feel free to ask at the Fitness Office for an explanation of what is unclear. The fitness Center Staff and members thank you for your attention to our rules — both for yourself, and for your colleagues.


You must use your membership I.D. Fob for admittance into the fitness center.

  • I.D. fobs may not be shared. Anyone found using someone else’s I.D. fob will be asked to leave the facility. This could also warrant suspension or termination of the membership.
  • A $10 fee will be charged to replace a lost or damaged Fitness Center I.D. fob.
  • No tailgating; do not allow other people to tailgate.

Children under the age of 18 are not permitted in the Fitness Center.


Lockers are for use only while in the Fitness Center.  Locks will be cut off if left on locker overnight.


Towel Service is limited to ONE SHOWER TOWEL and ONE WORKOUT TOWEL per person, per visit.


Proper Hygiene required — Clean clothing must be worn while working out

Inappropriate body odor is offensive — make sure you are clean when you come to the Fitness Center. Dry, closed-top athletic shoes are required. No dress shoes, boots or sandals are permitted.


Keep the Fitness Center clean

  • Please deposit used towers in the laundry bin at the front desk.
  • Throw all trash in the trash cans.
  • Leave nothing behind — what comes in with you, goes out with you — or into the trash cans.

Use the Equipment Properly

  • Do not sit on equipment between sets.
  • Do not use weights while on cardio equipment.
  • Misusing the equipment can result in injury and/or damage to the equipment; follow directions and instructions. Ask for assistance from the fitness staff if you are unfamiliar with equipment.
  • Please return weights and plates to respective racks when you complete your workout.

Clean the machines you use.

Members are required to clean each machine including free weight benches and mats after use.


Don't disrupt Classes.

Be on time for group fitness classes. It is disruptive to the other participants and the instructor when you arrive late. The instructor has the right to refuse admittance.


No Cellphone use in the Fitness Center.

Please use your phone in the lobby between Medical and the Fitness Center (not at the front desk) or go outside.


Do not touch televisions.


Cardiovascular equipment use is limited to 30 minutes when there are people waiting.


Members and visitors must exit the Fitness Center promptly at closing time.


Individuals not adhering to these policies may be asked to leave the facility. Management reserves the right to revoke the membership of anyone who violates the rules.
