2. Rules of the sports facilities

The new semester has brought a lot of new CampusSport customers – welcome! Especially the new ones, please read carefully these rules of the sports facilities. You can ensure that everyone has a pleasant workout session by following these guidelines.

  • The right to use the sports services is personal and must not be handed over to another person. The user shall not let anyone else access the sport facilities. Upon request of the sports staff, users of the sports services must show their personal ID card.
  • Dress appropriately. You will need clothing that is suited for sports, indoor shoes or socks, a water bottle, and a gym towel.

  • The reservation must be confirmed on the customer screen in the sports facility at least 10 minutes before the shift starts. Showing the key tag to the reader alone does not suffice; the reservation must be selected and confirmed on the customer screen.
  • The sports shifts start punctually at the time announced in the schedule. The users must pick up the required equipment before the shift starts. Those who arrive late are not let in the sports hall. Please arrive early enough especially in Educarium’s shifts as there are so many participants that the service desk might get crowded.
  • Users take care of cleaning and returning the equipment they have used both in the sports shifts and at the gyms.
  • Let others workout in peace. Avoid unnecessary chatter during instructed classes.
