We, the undersigned students of University of Mpumalanga, respectfully request that the opening hours of the university gym be from morning (9am) up until it's normal closing time.  As dedicated students committed to both academic excellence and physical well-being, we find the current opening hours to be restrictive and limiting our ability to prioritize our health.

Many students have early morning classes or commitments that prevent them from utilizing the gym during its current operating hours. An earlier opening time would provide students with the opportunity to engage in physical activity before the start of their academic day, improving focus, concentration, and overall academic performance.

Additionally, extending the gym’s hours would help alleviate overcrowding during peak times, allowing students to enjoy a more comfortable and effective workout experience.

We believe that investing in the health and well-being of students is essential to creating a thriving campus community. By extending the gym’s hours, the university demonstrates its commitment to student success and provides students with the necessary resources to achieve their full potential.

Thank you for considering our request.
