Extended opening hours of ISE gym

Extended opening hours of ISE gym

The Issue

Myself and my fellow university students are not happy with the current opening hours of the ISE gym on the University of Dundee's campus. The current opening hours are;

7am- 9.30pm = Monday - Friday

8.30am-5.30pm = Saturday and Sunday

This we feel is insufficient times to use the facilities. Most students have lectures all day and revise in the library and these times just don't fit the current schedule and lifestyle of a university student. Why are the weekend times shorter? In comparing the opening hours of the ISE to other Scottish Universities we found Dundee's gym to fall short of most competitors;

Aberdeen gym: 5.30am-10pm = Monday-Friday and 7.30am-7.30pm on Saturday and 7.30am-9.30pm on Sunday

Edinburgh gym: 6am-10pm = Monday-Friday and 9am-8pm on Saturday and Sunday

St Andrews gym: 6.30am-10pm = Monday to Friday and 8am-10.30pm on Saturday and 8am-9pm on Sunday

I reiterate that we just want the gym open longer!
