You will schedule one gym time a day at any available facility (Gym in S3, the Fitness Center in S2, or the MTC Activity Field, weather permitting). You should not arrive early or at a time other than the time that you've scheduled. 

You may schedule one additional hour of exercise time on your preparation day.

You should not schedule exercise time on the day before you leave the MTC to prevent possible injuries prior to departure.

Exercise attire should meet the standards stated in the Missionary Handbook and should "maintain a high standard of modesty." Wear clothing that:

• • Is neither too loose or too tight

  • Is not transparent or revealing in any way, such as sheer, tight, or stretch fabrics

  • Does not draw attention to any part of the body

  • Covers garments at all times

Please wear:

• • Shoes. Closed-toe shoes must be worn when participating in exercise activities.

Please do NOT wear:

• • Name Tag. While you should wear your name tag to and from the exercise facilities, you should take it off while exercising.

  • Jewelry. For your safety and the safety of others, all jewelry (including rubber/string bracelets and necklaces) must be removed before participating in exercise activities. Only medical condition identifiers may be worn during exercise.

  • Headwear. Baseball style hats and factory made headbands are allowed, however, no other headwear is appropriate. This includes items such as bandanas, berets, knit hats, beanies, etc.

Rules are established by leaders and the MTC administration to ensure your safety, to help  you be as successful as possible, and to wisely manage the large numbers of missionaries using the facilities. 

We do everything we can to minimize the chance of injury; however, if you or another missionary sustains an injury, regardless of how minor it might be, please report it immediately to the exercise facility staff on duty.  We always have a Certified Athletic Trainer available during gym times to handle all emergency situations and to evaluate any injuries. We also provide rehabilitative therapy during limited hours.

If you have pre-existing conditions such as asthma, diabetes, etc., please make the athletic training staff aware, so they can be ready for any emergencies that may arise.

Although you cannot use personal equipment, you may see an exercise facility staff member to check out equipment. All the equipment for approved activities will be provided for you during your time at the MTC.
