| 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. |
