Remarks
Whereas The University of Texas of Arlington's Maverick Activities Center (MAC) has between 3,000-4,000 visitors approximately from Monday to Thursday, evenings being the busiest times, given that it has the only gym on campus accessible to students, and;
Whereas The Gym has a disproportionate ratio of cardio machines to strength training equipment, and;
Whereas This increases wait times, which may discourage students from utilizing the resources, and;
Whereas This will not negatively impact users of cardio machines, given their lower popularity at any given time of the day, and;
Be It Further Resolved That The Maverick Activities Center (MAC) increases the number of strength training equipment, replacing at least 10-20% of the existing cardio machines, and utilizing the space to add FitBenches and dual bench and squat racks by the end of 2024, and;
Be It Further Resolved That For future improvements at the Maverick Activity Center (MAC), staff should consider the possibility of adjusting the cardio and strength training equipment ratio based on demand.
