Many students at the University of Edinburgh are based at the King’s Buildings campus. This encompasses students from across various disciplines including biology, chemistry, engineering, geoscience, informatics, mathematics, physics, etc.

Gyms are essential, not only for our physical health but also for our mental health and wellbeing. So it is vital that we, the students, have access to gym facilities.

Due to busy course schedules, many of us will not have the time to travel back and forth from King’s to Pleasance Gym.

We strongly request that KB Fitness (the King’s Buildings Gym) is reopened immediately to maintain our physical and mental health and wellbeing during our studies at the University of Edinburgh.
