Dear Sir/Madam,

We, the staff and students of IIT Bombay who use the main gym (new SAC) regularly would like to bring to your notice that the revised timings are proving to be inconvenient for both students and staff members in the following ways:

1. There are a significant number of students among gym goers, who also need to attend morning classes. Naturally, they prefer starting their gym routine early in the morning. Starting at 7:30 gives them very little time to exercise properly.
2. Staff members only get an hour to work out in each slot (6:30 – 7:30AM and 6-7PM), which is far from enough for a proper weight training session.
3. Students who go in the afternoon only get 1.5 hours (4:30-6PM), which is not enough time for serious lifters, after which they need to exit the gym for an hour and then return at 7PM if they want to resume their workout. 
4. Earlier, students and staff members used to work out together and learn from one another and share experiences, creating a vibrant gym community. This proved to be extremely healthy and useful for both the physical and mental development of gym-goers.
5. For many users, regular gymming sessions are an integral part of a healthy lifestyle that help greatly in improving their health and fitness. The sudden change in timing has disrupted that routine.
   
   

In light of these inconveniences, we appeal to you to kindly revert to the previous gym timings, when both staff and students could work out together at any time during the longer slots (6:30-10AM) and (4-9:30PM). Returning to the previous timings would allow greater flexibility and ensure smooth exercise routines for all the users of the gym. We would be extremely grateful to you if you could please make these changes. We have discussed this amongst ourselves and reached the consensus that the previous timings are more convenient for all of us. 

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
On behalf of the undersigned.
