    Put outdoor calisthenics and exercise equipment area in the MUGA for students

    Expired
      Implement an outdoor calisthenics and exercise equipment space in an section of the MUGA on campus. Potentially a covered version of this to protect against the weather.

      Why is it relevant to Falmouth & Exeter students?

      Many students at Glasney village and the campus in generally cannot afford or are reluctant to pay the expensive fees at the campus gym or other gyms. Providing them a free and easy access to outdoor exercise equipment can allow students struggling financially to stay fit and do strength training for free. This would be beneficial to the physical health of students and would also serve as an organic gathering area for people interested in exercise, like Penryns own "muscle beach"!

      What positive impact would it have?

      Students would be more inclined to make a consistent exercise practice when it is free and accessible. Therefore it would make the student body healthier. It would also produce an organic mini-community of exercisers that go their regularly increasing student community cohesion.

    10:34am on 6 Jan 26 This proposal has gained sufficient student backing (at least 10 likes and 10 more likes than dislikes within six weeks). It will now be reviewed by the Executive Committee and if approved it will be discussed and voted on at the next Student Forum on 29th January.

    1:07pm on 12 Feb 26 This proposal went to discussion at Forum on the 29th January 2026 and was voted through as an Agreed Action. This means the SU officially supports this idea and will work towards it when possible but it's not one of our big 6 Union Priorities. It may be progressed alongside other work, raised in relevant meetings, or picked up as capacity allows.
