I am a student at Fordham University, living in Bronx, NY. Every day, I experience the poor air quality outside and see how it affects my fellow students and me. It's not just an inconvenience; it's a health hazard. To combat this issue, many of us turn to indoor exercise options like our campus gym. However, there are far too few treadmills to support the number of students who need them.

Fordham University's Rose Hill campus is home to over 8,000 students (source: Fordham University official statistics), and yet our campus gym has only a handful of treadmills available for use. This lack of resources forces many students to wait in line or skip their workout entirely - neither option is acceptable when we're trying to maintain healthy lifestyles amidst challenging environmental conditions.

Adding more treadmills would not only alleviate this problem but also demonstrate Fordham’s commitment to promoting student health and wellness on campus. We urge Fordham University administration to invest in additional treadmills for our campus gym as soon as possible.

Please sign this petition if you believe that all students should have access to necessary fitness equipment regardless of external conditions or peak usage times.
