If you are a current JCCC employee -- adjunct, full-time or part-time regular -- you are eligible to use the fitness center and the indoor track area. Your spouses and college age dependent(s) are also eligible.

Before you can use the facilities, you must attend a one-hour orientation session. Orientation sessions are held outside the fitness center at least once a month at two times.

To register for an upcoming orientation center, call the fitness center at 913-469-8500, ext. 4432.

Specify that you are doing an employee orientation not a student orientation.

Orientations are only for those who have not done an orientation at all or who have not attended the fitness center in the past three years.

Bring your employee ID number to your orientation session. At your orientation, allow easy access to your bicep for a blood pressure check. You do not need to dress out in activity clothes.

The instructor conducting the orientation session will:

• Have you sign a consent form
• Help you fill out a risk profile sheet
• Measure your pre-exercise heart rate and blood pressure
• Explain the policies and procedures of using the Fitness Center
• Explain the use of the machines in the circuit

Yearly updates are required.

For your yearly update, walk into the fitness center, and the instructor on duty will take care of you.

For more information, email Ruth Dey, employee wellness coordinator, or call her at 913-469-8500, ext. 3217.
