While the Prince William Campus and the Fairfax Campus of George Mason University possess exercise facilities, the Arlington Campus is not equipped with any such facilities. It is frequently the case in other university settings, including Georgetown which is in the direct vicinity of George Mason, that when a satellite campus is sufficiently removed from the main campus, exercise facilities are installed on the campus. Many of the students, faculty and staff on the Arlington Campus of George Mason University spend long hours on campus, and exercise facilities present on campus would greatly improve the chances of them exercising and therefore the health of the University overall. Studies have shown that regular exercise improves both physical and mental health. Therefore, access to exercise facilities could save students, faculty and staff and the University potential health-care costs. We the undersigned appeal to the administration to install exercise facilities in Founders Hall.

im still processing how much traction this has gained lately and it really shows the campus is ready for a change. its awesome to see so many people backing this effort because it proves we really need a place to work out here. lets keep this energy going until we finally get a gym in founders hall.

So tired of paying full price for fees and not getting access to the same facilities as everyone else. Get it done.

About time someone brought this up. Dealing with traffic just to workout is a nightmare.

Need a place to decompress between classes. This is a university not just an office building.

it is seriously impossible to find time to get to fairfax with my schedule. we pay enough tuition to at least have a basic gym in founders.

Founders hall really needs this. Not everyone lives near a gym and having one here would be a huge help for mental health during finals.
