The common facilities- and workout room

House rules for exercise and recreational rooms

COMMONROOMS AND KITCHEN:

  • If you use the table tennis table, foosball table, or the pool table, remember to fold the table tennis table and replace by the wall, and replace the covers on the pool table.
  • Put your used dishes in the dishwasher – NOT next to the sink. If the dishwasher is full, start it. If the dishwasher is clean, empty it.
  • Any beer and soft drink in the refrigerator belong to the Staff Club, but you can buy a drink for 10 DKr per can/bottle.
  • Please tidy up before you leave.

 THE GYM:

  • There is only access for employees at AU-Foulum with a permanent access card.
  • Please be aware that training in the gym is at your own risk. Check if your own insurance is adequate.
  • You can use the gym 24-7, but please remember to close the windows, lock the doors, and turn off the lights if you are the last person to leave. The alarm will be triggered if doors or windows are left open.
  • Doping is obviously forbidden and we do not allow alcohol in the gym.
  • Use clean workout clothes when you train – every time. For the sake of your co-workers.
  • Working out in jeans is not allowed – this wears too hard on the machines.
  • We highly recommend using shoes when working out. Use indoor shoes which don’t leave marks on the floors.
  • Do not workout bare-chested.
  • Please bring a towel and wipe the machines after use. This applies to both weight training machines and cardio machines. Spray bottles with soap are available in the gym. Paper towels are available in the dispensers.
  • Remove the weights from the bars when you are done using them and don't leave weights on the floor in front of the wall bars.
  • Clean up after yourself! put the weights/skipping ropes/elastic band and other equipment back on the table/shelves after use. If you have used a cup or a glass from the PFF kitchen, then put it in the dish washer after use – the Gym should be a nice and tidy place for everybody.
  • Be considerate to your colleagues.

The Common facilities

In the common facilities you will find many possibilities for leisure activities. This includes e.g. table tennis, foosball, darts, and a variety of games. There is also a PFF kitchen, where you can prepare some food. The common facilities are maintained by the Staff Club, which is also responsible for all new purchases. If there is anything you think we need in the common rooms, send us an e-mail, and we will look into it.

You can book the common facilities, if you are planning an event. We should, however, emphasize that the common room can only be booked and used for events for employees at AU-Foulum. If you would like to book the PFF kitchen and facilities, please send an e-mail to the Staff Club (Personaleforening.Foulum.kom@au.dk). If you are having an event in the common facilities, it is your responsibility to clean and tidy up after you. This includes returning tables and chairs as before, put used dishes in the dishwasher, start the dishwasher and put the dishes back in its place when done. You should also remove any food from the refrigerator, remove empty bottles and tidy up in the kitchen.

The common rooms are for the benefit of all employees at AU-Foulum, so please help us keeping the rooms nice and tidy. There is nobody else to do it.

At AU-Foulum we are lucky to have a nice and well-equipped gym for all employees. This gives you very good facilities to do exactly the training you want. The Gym is maintained by the Staff Club, which is also responsible for all new purchases. If you have suggestions for new equipment, write us an e-mail and we will look into it.

In the Gym you will find:

  • A wide selection of HOIST weight training machines
  • Machines for cardio training, e.g. rowing machine, stationary bike, cross trainers, and a tread mill
  • Free weight equipment, e.g. a squat rack, kettle bells, free weights fitness balls, elastics, mats, etc.

If you have not trained in a gym before and want an introduction or just want new inspiration for your training, feel free to write an e-mail to Birthe (Birthe.houbak@anis.au.dk). Then we will make an appointment and set you up with a good program.

The Gym is for the benefit of all employees at AU-Foulum, so please help us to keep it nice, clean, and tidy.
