THIS EXPANSION OF HOURS WILL NOW KEEP THE GYM OPEN UNTIL 11:30

AND OPEN MORE SPACE IN THE GYM FOR STUDENTS TO WORKOUT.

STUDENTS LIKE KAITLYN BRIDGE SEE THIS EXPANSION OF HOURS AS AN

OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE GETTING A RESERVATION SLOT LESS OF A

CHALLENGE.

GYM SOT #1

“Last semester, talking to people, they were having to go at six o’clock in the morning to get a

slot for the gym and I haven’t really had any problems getting a slot.”

IM BUILDING STAFF MEMBER, KAYLEE MCCULLUM, SEES THIS EXPANSION

AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS WITH BUSY CLASS SCHEDULES TO

COME IN AND GET THEIR WORKOUT LATER ON IN THE DAY.

GYM SOT #2

“I think it’s a good idea that the gym is open later now, it gives people more opportunity to get in

and get their workout. There wasn’t much of an opportunity before because of the shorter hours.”

THE IM BUILDING WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE

STUDENTS.

THE GYM WILL CONTINUE TO CLEAN AND FOLLOW COVID SAFETY

GUIDELINES TO ENSURE A SAFE WORKOUT ENVIRONMENT.
