Our community gym is a wonderful place that has always provided us with services and equipment for our fitness and health needs. But, as gym members, we find ourselves needing more than what is currently being offered, especially in terms of modern amenities and longer operating hours for the kids' room.

The lack of updates in the showers and equipment is causing inconvenience and decreased satisfaction amongst gym-goers. Communities with better fitness facilities have been observed to experience a 44% higher rate of regular physical activity (source: The American Planning Association). Hence, we ask for improvements in these areas for our continual health betterment.

Another crucial aspect that is greatly affecting parents in our community is the restricted hours of operation for the kids' room. A good number of parents have schedules that fall outside of these times, hampering their fitness commitments. As per 'The Guardian', regular physical activity reduces the risk of many health conditions, ranging from heart disease and diabetes to mental health conditions. Therefore, extended hours of operation for the kids' room will not just help the parents, but also advocate the importance of regular exercise in our community.

Addressing these valid concerns of the members should be prioritised over any matters benefiting the staff members alone. We as a community should stand together for the betterment of our health, fitness, and overall lifestyle. Please sign and share this petition so we can push our gym to provide us with the community support we need.
