BOP Program Statement 3792.08 § 3
ELIGIBILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN FITNESS CENTER ACTIVITIES
Bureau of Prisons employees who receive employee benefits are eligible to use staff fitness
centers. Each institution determines the eligibility of its retirees and employee
spouses/dependents. Dependents are typically defined as spouses, minor children, and
individuals who are financially dependent upon the employee.
Federal employees visiting the institution may be allowed to use fitness center facilities, with the
CEO’s approval. Contract workers and volunteers are not allowed to use staff fitness centers.
Participants must meet the following requirements before using the facility:
■ Attend a fitness center orientation that includes:
Demonstration of the proper use for each piece of equipment in the center.
Fitness center rules.
Sign-in procedures.
Location of medical emergency equipment/injury procedures.
Signing BP-A0837, Fitness Equipment and Facility Orientation.
■ Sign the Physical Fitness Program Informed Consent and Waiver of Liability for Fitness
Centers (BP-A0836 and BP-A0840). These forms are kept in participant files.
■ Be at least 13 years of age. (The minimum age may be higher at some locations, as needed.)
Minors must be supervised by an adult when using the Fitness Center.
