The University of Pennsylvania has lost 4 students to suicide within the past year. Suicide attempts often stem from mental health issues and depression. Something needs to be done to alter the environment here at Penn in a way where suicide is never a consideration by any student. We believe encouraging physical fitness can help and there is no better time than during this year's theme, Year of Health. Research shows that exercise is an effective treatment for moderate depression, and physical fitness has a positive effect on the level of anxiety and depression of male and female students. Right now, the extra fees of group classes at Pottruck can be a deterrent from students signing up and getting active. Offering more free classes would give every student an excuse to get active (why not use your free gym pass) and even if we only give them 1 to 2 passes a semester, after attending one, students will be more inclined to either signup for class full time or do their own workout in Pottruck. Overall, we are trying to encourage more fitness, which can combat both physical and mental health problems at Penn.
