Indoor Walking Routes/Fitness

Reminders

The business of Penn State Harrisburg is education. Therefore, be mindful that the Olmsted building is a place of business, not a fitness track. Please use the indoor route in a safe, considerate manner, yielding the way to others in the hallway.

The indoor walking routes are primarily for use during inclement weather. We encourage walking outside and enjoying the campus walking routes when weather permits. However, when you choose to use an Olmsted indoor walking route, please observe the following:

• Keep voices low when talking to a walking partner.
• Remember to walk in the center of the hall to avoid disrupting the flow of traffic and avoid collisions as people exit classrooms and office suites.
• Walk at a speed that will not startle or disrupt others in the hallway.
• If you walk through Stack’s Market, please do so at a slow rate of speed, using it as a final cool down route back to your office suite.
• Using the steps between floors adds a beneficial element to your exercise course. However, please use handrails and be courteous of others on the stairs.
  

Finally, use of the Olmsted hallways as a walking route is a privilege. If abused, it could be taken away. Please remember to follow the reminders listed above and be courteous at all times to students, colleagues and visitors as they also go about their business in the building.

Other Indoor Fitness Areas

The CUB provides the use of exercise equipment at no charge to full-time employees simply by showing their PSU ID cards. Also available are racquetball courts and a weight room. If you are not sure of the location of these facilities, please ask at the information desk inside the main entrance.

In our Aquatics Center, the pool is open to employees for lap swimming with the added assistance of kick boards if needed. Please check the schedule online for available times.
