SAFETY AND SECURITY
The Y has installed a 24-hour video recording system for security purposes. Footage is reviewed daily to address security concerns, and monitor who is entering and using the facility. Please note that this system will not protect you from harm while in or on building premises and will not alert anyone if help is needed.
Members are highly encouraged to bring their own cell phone, exercise with partner when using the facility outside of staffed hours, and use caution when entering and exiting the building.
Emergency phones and AEDs are available in the Wellness Centers; we encourage members to identify the location of these items prior to exercising. In the event of an emergency dial 911 immediately. Local fire, police and EMS will be able to access the facility. The Y’s address and other local non-emergency numbers are posted for easy access. Wellness Center phones are intended for EMERGENCY USE ONLY.
Should members observe anything suspicious, illegal or unsafe, proper authorities should be contacted immediately using the emergency phone located in the Wellness Center or a personal cell phone. Any violation of our member code of conduct should be reported to staff during staffed hours.
There will be NO additional snow removal for 24-Hour Access. Members with access may come at their own discretion and risk.
