Our SMU VP, Dr. Craig Elliott, and I have been working on this project for the last few months and this is the next step in the process. Students and faculty are both aware of the gym's limited functionality and we as a student body need to stand up and let them know that we want change. Our gym, while small, has huge potential to be reconfigured in order to deliver a much more functional fitness space.
The proposed changes are:
Removing the large resistance machine, curl machine, and rearranging the cardio equipment to make space for...
Multiple TRX Training Systems
- (http://www.trxtraining.com/suspension-training)
Pull-up Bars (inside and outside)
An Elliptical Machine
A power rack for barbell lifting
Adjustable dumbbells
Free space for stretching and core
Rubber flooring
A window that opens
...and many more additions!
Sign the petition and make your SMU voice heard!!
If you have any questions, please email Marcus at [email protected]

The administration keeps giving me the runaround on the proposed layout changes. It is draining to keep pushing for updates while nothing seems to move, but I know we deserve a functional space.

Reaching this point has been a long and draining process that often felt like shouting into the void. Seeing the momentum shift like this proves that we are finally being taken seriously by those who can actually change the state of our gym.

a window that opens would be a huge improvement alone. the air in there gets so stale it is gross.
NEED A POWER RACK ASAP. The current setup is embarrassing for a health sciences school.
Its about time. That old resistance machine is just taking up space we could actually use for lifting.
The gym is literally so small right now it is impossible to get a workout in between classes. We really need more equipment.
The curl machine never gets used. Pull up bars would be a million times better.
