As of right now, the Rudolf Fitness Center (RFC) at Gonzaga University opens at 10:00am on Saturdays and Sundays. The regular opening hour on the weekdays is 6:00am. There is clearly a large discrepancy between these two hours. Having initial access to the RFC beginning at 10:00am on the weekends is rather inconvenient - by that time, many students &/or faculty have other preexisting obligations, studies, meetings or jobs to attend to and can no longer find time later on in the day to make it into the RFC, thus missing their workout for the day. On any given weekday, a substantial number of students & faculty sign in to RFC between the operating hours of 6:00am-10:00am. Therefore, in further pursuit of Gonzaga University's mission values and its commitment to the education of the whole person in mind, body, and spirit, I (we) petition for earlier weekend opening hours for the RFC at a compromise of 8:00am on Saturday and Sunday - this way, more students & faculty will have a higher chance of achieving their fitness goals for the day by being able to access the facilities earlier at a more convenient time.

Seeing this kind of traction is exhausting but it reminds me why I started this in the first place. The response from the community confirms we have all been feeling the same frustration with these hours. I am tired of the current schedule but I am keeping my eyes on the goal.

Yes please. Being able to get my workout done by 10 would be huge.
10am is way to late. I have work at noon so I never get a chance to go on the weekends.
bruh honestly why does it open so late on weekends?? literally everyone is already awake by 8
Need this for my training schedule, the current hours are super inconvenient.
Sometimes I just want to go to the gym early and then get on with the rest of my day...
Great idea, 100% agree

This would not only benefit the general student body, but also the student athletes, specifically the Track and Cross Country Teams. These teams practice officially on Saturday mornings at 8am, and unofficially at this time on Sundays. For those athletes who must cross train on these days, they miss out on valuable time with the team and time in their weekends waiting for the general gym to open as there are not enough bikes and ellipticals in the student athlete weight room to satisfy these athletes' needs.
