Varsity Weight Room Guidelines

The mission of the Georgetown University S&C Department is to create the strongest, fastest, most explosive athletes in the nation, period. This is going to be done using the core principals of discipline, dedication, honesty, and integrity.

The Georgetown University Varsity Weight Room is an equal-access working facility solely for the use of current varsity athletes and athletic staff. Access to both the facility and its staff is a privilege not, not a right. You are expected to conduct yourself like a division I athlete as you enter, train, and leave the facility.

Due to the high volume of teams that utilize this space, and the high demand on the S&C Staff, athletes should consult the posted schedule for team weight room times, and contact the S&C staff in advance if you are unable to attend your scheduled workout. Athletes may work out during their reserved time, but not during another team's scheduled time (unless prior arrangements have been made).

All athletes are expected to wear proper team-issued attire – including shirts and shoes – is required at all times. No spikes, cleats, bare feet or open-toe/unlaced footwear are permitted.  Each team's policies regarding apparel and appearance (as well as conduct) are in effect in the weight room. If you are wearing another school's colors or logo – you will be asked to leave.

It is important that we operate in a productive and safe manner – always think safety! Take pride in the weight room and keep it in order. It is each athlete's responsibility to pick up after themselves. Keep equipment in its proper location (do not rearrange or remove).

Rules and regulations are posted for your safety and will be reviewed during your orientation. Just to reiterate – food, open beverage containers, glass or tobacco of any kind are not permitted in the weight room. Sport bottles may be used throughout the weight room.  The telephone is available with permission from the S&C staff. Music with profane or obscene lyrics is inappropriate in the weight room.  Wearing headphones is not allowed.

Provide positive, proactive leadership and strive for excellence.  No excuses or alibis – do the right thing all the time!  If you have questions comments or concerns please contact your S&C Coach or Head of Sports Performance, Mike Hill, at 202-697-3384 or mdh42@georgetown.edu.

The road to success is under constant construction – so grab your hard hat – and let's get to work!
