As most of you know, Sports (Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, Badminton, etc.) at OneLife Fitness have been cancelled. We are trying to petition the PTO Fitness board to reestablish the relationship with OneLife Fitness Gym so that soccer can continue. There is a board meeting tomorrow the 2nd of September in Knox room 6D44 at 10 AM. This meeting would be a good avenue for us to raise the issue. I would like your support in attending this meeting and/or signing this petition to show that we would like our sports playing time back. Also, please feel free to forward the email to anyone who was omitted. Thanks for the assistance.

The emails I keep receiving about how much these sports programs meant to everyone are heavy to read. I have been spending my nights trying to track down the people responsible for these cuts and frankly it has been exhausting.

We all need to reset. Playing soccer on Tuesdays was always a good way to take a break from examining cases. The friendly and slightly competitive environment also gave human interaction to those who would normally just stay in their office all day. We would like to start playing again.
I have been a member of the PTO gym since 2007. What kept me as a member is the indoor soccer at Onelife Fitness. I hope the PTO gym renews the contract so that we can resume playing the game that we love. If the gym decides not to renew, I intend to cancel my membership and look for other options.
C'mon guys, reform the bridge with OneLife already! People are starting to lose interest in the PTO gym because of its absence!
Soccer at OneLife Fitness was a great opportunity not only for examiners to get a solid cardio workout but also get to know one another. In that spirit, it would be great if PTO fitness restart the partnership as I found it highly beneficial to the examiners.
please reestablish the relationship with OneLife Fitness Gym
sports activity will be very helpful to the USPTO gym
The use of the onelife Gym was one of the few things I looked forward to every week. I tended to use the office gym for showering only. Now that we don't have access to onelife I am debating even keeping my office gym membership because I have a personal gym at home. The office gym without the onelife court access doesn't offer me any incentive to stay a member.

These sports programs serve ultra important purposes as work-life components. They help examiners keep a good balance bet the two, enhance employees' health and is instrumental for retention. Please, do reconsider this decision. I'm aware that it is financially driven. While I understand money is at the center of everything but finding a happy medium (i.e., downsizing instead of canceling) to keep everyone happy is something money can't buy.
