Gym safety Due to the high traffic in the Freedom Hall Fitness Center and the retraction of the rule requiring patrons to hand-carry their shoes into the gym, people have encountered unsafe floor conditions. The fitness staff sweeps and mops regularly, but it is difficult to keep up with the dust, dirt, snow and salt that is brought in with the weather. The fitness center staff asks gym patrons to keep this in mind when coming into the gym.
