Could you please give us a rationale for why you are dramatically restricting the opening hours of the diner gym? During COVID times exercise is as important as is to keep low the number of people who work out at the same time. Hence, restricting gym access by cutting out the particularly popular lunchtime and 5-6 pm hours is difficult to understand, as this will lead to fewer community members being able to exercise and to a higher number of people in the gym at the remaining times.
thank you for your time and consideration,
We thank you for your feedback. The change of hours are to align with the current footfall into the facility , due to the university labs being closed on a Friday and Saturday.
The Harbor Sports Club and Island Recreation gyms remain open in the early mornings and later evenings, which we are pleased to announce have increased capacity.
With footfall you mean not so many people go to campus gym on Friday and Saturday before 9am and after 6pm?
Not all labs are closed on the weekends, a lot of people work in theirs on Fridays and Saturdays.
