Clearly that has changed, so that it is now just another adjunct (official or not) to the varsity sports empire to which FP is attached.

We don't exceed this number to keep the facility student friendly. 2) There are four other gyms in the area within 20 minutes of Franklin Pierce: Solar Fitness in Jaffrey, The Bond Wellness Center in Peterborough, Performance Fitness in Peterborough and The Clark Memorial YMCA in Winchendon. 3) The revenue from our community members is what pays for new equipment in the weight room- no community members means no new equipment. 4) The Bubble is most busy from 7:00AM-9:00AM and 3:30PM-6:00PM. Outside of the hours the weight room is very accessible. 5) Community members are not allowed to use the Bubble after 7:00PM Mondays through Friday. From 7:00PM-11:30PM the building is only for student use. A couple points to clarify: 1) Our memberships to the outside community are limited with a pre-set cap.
