Dear students and staff,

We know that many of you are waiting for the fitness room in Zittau to open. We are all the more sorry: the start has to be postponed. The new date is Monday, 05.01.2026. We apologize for the late information and the inconvenience.

The reason: improvements to the floor are necessary. As a result, the delivery and installation of the equipment and other trades have been postponed. A start in the winter semester was no longer realistic; mid-December at the earliest would have been possible.

We cannot guarantee reliable operation over the Christmas period and the turn of the year due to limited capacity. Opening briefly in December and then closing again straight away would not make much sense. We have therefore decided to make a clear start to the new year.

We are aware that many people have focused their training schedule and motivation on the start - and so have we. The decision is not an easy one, but it stands for quality, safety and stable operations from January.

On a positive note, despite the postponement, we are still around six months ahead of schedule compared to the modernization of the gym in Görlitz.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

With best regards
Your university sports team
