GSO Lobbies for Improvement of IUJ's Gym

Dear Students,

We thank you very much for your support throughout this ongoing Gym Improvement project. Many did not think that the project would ever materialize into real improvements, at least not this decade.

Well with the help of a passionate Gym Improvement committee composed of Students, Staff & Faculty and support from students like you through all the speeches, petitions and surveys, we have finally succeeded in convincing administration of performing a total overhaul and rennovation of the 2nd floor training room of the Gymnasium. The improvements include:

- Brand new Hardwood floor
- New Mirrors
- Wall painting and patching of holes
- New Multi-purpose Mats (Aerobics, Martial Arts)
- Smith Machine
- Free-weights & Rack
- Adjustable Benches (2)
- 2-in-1 Leg Machine
- Cable/Pulley System
- 3-in-1 Apparatus
- Professional Punching Bag

Each of these facility improvements & new pieces of equipment have some important new rules associated with them. Because of this, GSO has created a set of Instructional Videos that EACH STUDENT MUST VIEW BEFORE USING THE NEW GYM.

To view the videos simply hover over the filmstrip to your right, OR, click on a clip to view a larger video. If you are having trouble viewing the videos through the blog you can visit the direct link to the videos.

We thank you very much for taking the time to view these videos, as well as for your respectful use of the new equipment. Treating the new equipment with care and abiding by the usage rules will ensure the gym may be used for many generations to come.

Lastly, we can all thank President Sugihara for believing in & supporting the project, as well as Facility Services for coming through in the end and doing a great job, completing the project on time and on budget.

Sincerely,

GSO-EC
