When I found out that BYU had a gymnastics gymnasium on campus, I was ecstatic. I have been a gymnast for over half my life and competed for my high school team. I was excited for the opportunity to continue one of my passions. However, that opportunity never came. After talking to one of the STAC coaches during freshman orientation, I discovered that the gym only allows access to members of the collegiate gymnastics team or scheduled gymnastics class. When I tried to sign up for the class, it was full in both fall and winter semesters with hefty waitlists. Though the gymnastics gym is needed for the competing team and credit class, there is a way to provide more access to the gym that will accommodate the gymnastics class, collegiate team, and student body of BYU.
