  • Athletic bottoms: shorts, pants, leggings, skorts.

  • Athletic footwear: Sneakers including “foam runner” style footwear.

Street clothes of any kind, including jeans, pants/shorts with zippers and/or belts, or other attire not designed for exercise/athletic activity is prohibited in exercise/work out environments within the Student Recreation Center.  Non-athletic footwear (including boots, Crocs, cleats, shoes with heels, shoes with wheels or any open toe/heel footwear) and bare feet are strictly prohibited.

We recommend that patrons wear appropriate footwear for pool decks and locker rooms such as slides or shower sandals while utilizing these areas of the Student Recreation Center.

Patrons that fail to comply with the Student Recreation Center attire policy will not be permitted to utilize exercise/workout spaces.  Campus Recreation reserves the right to ask any patron who fails to comply with our policies to leave the facility.  Campus Recreation reserves the right to modify policies as needed to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our patrons.

Montclair State Campus Recreation advises our patrons to “Protect Your Skin at the Gym” in an effort to promote good hygiene and limit the spread of skin borne illnesses.  We suggest that you exercise in clothing that provides ample coverage of your skin and that you regularly clean machines that you exercise on prior to and after completing your activity.
