In a recent University Post, it was announced that the hours of the student weight room would be reduced from opening at 7 AM and closing at 11 PM to opening at 9 AM and closing at 9:30 PM. This gives students 3 and a half fewer hours to work out in an already cramped weight room; there are a number of students that use the early morning and late night hours to get a workout in as their schedules are busy during the daytime. Please sign this petition to show the University and AHLC staff that those hours are valuable to busy students that would like to stay healthy while getting an education.

The momentum behind this is impossible to ignore now. The administration is starting to take notice.

Students like finding those weird gym times that aren't jam-packed with sports players. These hours are mainly the earliest and the latest times! Show some love to those who those who don't want to workout rotating on machines and weights with 5 other people in a small, 90 degree room. This time would be more acceptable if the scheduled sports teams worked out in their varsity gym because since every other time I walk pass it, it's closed.
Opening the gym later and closing it earlier will make my stress release time much more difficult to happen due to my schedule with classes and work.
The room should return back to its 7am opening time as students attempt to fit in work outs between studying and classes, as many previous comments have mentioned that the rooms are normally full, extra time is essential.
It baffles me that this is even a debate. Limiting the hours students have to stay healthy and happy is utterly ridiculous. Athletics has the money to hire work studies to fill the shifts....USE IT!
Please open the weight room back up to regular times. You Only need one student there watching the waitroom. They're doing homework or movies anyways, not fair for everyone else that budgeting was not accounted for. Teams that are not school recognized utilize it since we can not use the varsity one. Please immagion how athletes would feel if their lift times where cut down too.
Pay too much money for terrible gym hours
Make America swole again.

Normal gyms are open way later. Offering 3500 students such a limited time to go will make the small gym more crowded than it already is.
