SEBA Fitness Center Rules
SEBA is responsible for the fitness facility and will assure the maintenance and repair of paint, tile, carpeting, lighting, heating/cooling, plumbing, electrical components, exercise equipment, and all other physical aspects of the facility to ensure that the facility meets all the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Division. The SEBA Fitness Center is an employee sponsored facility. It requires the cooperation of all users to maintain a clean, safe environment.
Payment of Membership Dues
A one-time enrollment fee of $15 will be charged for new members.  Membership fees are paid on a monthly basis via reoccurring credit/debit card transactions.  Membership will terminate upon the receipt of a cancellation form submitted to the SEBA Fitness Center Team at least seven (7) days prior to the next billing date.
Membership Fees:
Individual:  $12.50
Family Membership (2):  $22.50
Family (each additional):  $10.42
Changes in Membership Fees
Membership fees are subject to change by vote of the SEBA Board. In the event of a fee change, members will be notified by email and postings in the fitness center. Those who do not wish to continue their membership with the new fees will have 30 days to submit a cancellation form. Any form submitted during that period will not be subject to the $15 early cancellation fee. After the 30 days, fees for membership will be adjusted on all recurring payments.

Termination of Membership
Please visit the NIST Fitness Center to receive a membership cancellation form.  Upon submission of this form, your membership will be terminated immediately.  Cancellation forms must be received at minimum seven (7) business days prior to the next billing date to avoid the monthly charge.  An early cancellation fee of $15 will be applied to memberships terminated on or before one (1) year from the first date of payment.   

You will receive a confirmation of your request in five (5) business days.  If this does not occur, please call (301) 975-2594. 

Please note, it is the member’s responsibility to view their credit card statement to ensure transactions are no longer occurring.  The SEBA Fitness Board will refund up to two (2) months of membership fees when it can be shown that fees were not stopped upon the receipt of the cancellation form within the required timeframe.
I. Dress Code
Clean, safe, appropriate exercise attire (including shoes) is required in the exercise room.  All attire must provide full range of motion and not restrict circulation.  Also, shoes and clothing worn in the Fitness Center must not damage the equipment. Jeans that meet this description are permitted.  A shirt must be worn at all times.
II. Equipment Usage
During peak times, users of the cardiovascular equipment (stairmaster, bike, crosstrainer, and treadmill) will be limited to 20min. intervals.
Please do not use the free weights if you are the sole occupant.  A spotter is recommended for all free weight lifting.
All weights (including dumbbells) and equipment are to be returned to their designated location.  (Not necessarily where you found them!).  The Fitness Center does not employ anyone to do this.  If you are unable or don’t have the time to put the weights back on the racks please ask a colleague to help you.
Please do not sit and rest on equipment while someone else is waiting to use it.

It is required that all perspiration be cleaned off of the equipment after use.  In addition to bringing your own towel, SEBA will provide anti-fungal/anti-bacterial cleaning wipes for this purpose.  Please properly dispose of any used cleaning materials.  Do not remove rolls of paper from the locker/shower facilities for this purpose.
    4. The changing room and shower facilities are for daily use by gym members.  Overnight locks in the locker rooms are not permitted and will be removed.  It is everyone’s responsibility to help keep the locker room and showers clean and neat.  A limited number of shoe lockers near the entrance door have also been provided.  These may be reserved and locked through the SEBA Store.  (NOTE: NIST and SEBA are not responsible for lost or stolen articles).
