3. We need a torso oblique machine.

Response
The large thick mats were shipped, received, and installed upstairs in the stretching / ab area in replace of the smaller 2'x3' mats. The scales, torso oblique machine, roman chair(ab machine), and other pin select items have been ordered.

You need to post a list of policies / rules upstairs.
Response
All facility signs have been ordered and should be installed very soon. We apologize for the inconvenience and will have them installed as soon as possible.

An American Body Builders Cafe would be helpful including drinks like Adrenaline Rush, Speed Stack, and Mass Recovery.
Response
We looked at installing a Smoothie Bar before we opened the new Fitness & Wellness Center, but through financial analysis for the project we realized that breaking even would not be possible. I agree that this would be a great service for the students, but the institution and our facility does not have enough foot traffic to support this service.

We should have a snack machine.
Response
A snack machine has been ordered that will have fresh fruits such as bananas, apples, etc.

Comments
Locker requirements for small purses are ridiculous, and fans should be put upstairs because the cardio floor gets warm very quickly.
Response
The locker requirement will insure that your belongings will not be stolen, so the policy is in place for the students. We also understand that our capacity for day lockers will decrease as students begin bringing in their winter attire. We are currently looking into installing cubbies in the fitness area for these personal belongings, but we still encourage all patrons to use the day lockers. The cubbies will be used to keep these personal belongings from becoming clutter or something our patrons may trip over. Until we install these cubbies in the fitness area, we ask that all patrons place all personal items in the day lockers.

1. I suggest that we get heavy bags with boxing equipment. This helps with a total body workout.
2. A boxing bag would make this gym complete!
Response
We are currently looking into ordering a heavy bag and a speed bag. Our order will depend on our financial situation at the end of the month. Thank you for your suggestion.

I love the new gym, but it would be especially wonderful if the group exercise room were open with mats for stretching. Thanks!
Response
Thank you for your suggestion. We also love the new gym and believe most of the students do as well. Concerning the mats, we just recently installed thick padded mats upstairs away from the rest of the facility behind the climbing wall so patrons will feel comfortable stretching and performing ab workouts. The group exercise room will only be open for student groups that reserve the room when classes are not occurring. Again, thank you for your comment.

We need clocks upstairs.
Response
We sent the current clocks back to the manufacturer because they did not display seconds for those timing themselves while running on the track. The new clocks are expected to be installed by the first week of October.

We should not pay a dollar for a towel if you do not want one. It should be optional. We also need more places for disinfectant to wipe down machines, not towels - it just spreads more bacteria.
Response
Students do not have to pay a dollar for a towel. All they need to do is bring their own towel. The towels are used to wipe off the machines after you are finished, and the staff comes through on each shift and cleans and disinfects each piece of equipment. We are looking into placing spray bottles and their holders in each fitness area for your convenience if you would like to disinfect the equipment after you are finished.

Comments
Will we need our own climbing shoes for the climbing wall?
Response
Great question. We will have climbing shoes available for rent at the front desk for a charge of two dollars.
