Exercise Facilities and benefits
Source: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/exercise/HQ01676
Exercise gives you a lot of good benefits, you need some facilities like places or machines to do exercise.

There are a lot of facilities in Chile, some are somehow expensive but if you search for a while you will always find a good, cheap place in where you can do exercise (still more expensive places are better).

In the other hand, we have benefits, exercise can bring you tons of benefits, specially for health. So here is a list of  some of the benefits before I go deeper one by one:
1.-Controls Weight.
2.-Combats Diseases.
3.-Boosts Energy

Control Weight: Exercise helps you maintain a good weight level, it burns calories and it works out muscles.
Combats Diseases: Exercise makes the heart pump faster, which is very good for your health.
Boosts Energy: Regular Physical activity strenghts your muscles and boost your endurance.

In conclusion, Exercise is very good for your body, you need the facilities, which can be a private/public gym or outdoors. The more exercise you do, the healthier you are, exercise helps on a lot of stuff, specially heart diseases.

Sharing School Facilities

Access to the gym and sports equipment

Everyone needs a safe , acessible and comfortable place to do exercise in order to mantain a healthy life.

Despite this there are many communities/people who do not have these places.
In my opinion every town mayor should make sure that his/her citizens have a good exercise place.

Also not everyone likes the same type of exercise so you would need different places such as:

Sports Fields, gym, playgrounds, parks, outdoor tracks, public pools, etc.

Also, there are some things you need to take caution with, such as security equipment.

There is a poll that shows us that 98% of people are able to use the playground while 46% can use the basketball court. Well, so most of the people / kids are forced to just use the playground.
Well, most of the people also said that they prefer outdoor exercise and they would like a special place like an exercise park.

In order to have that special place you need the spce, which can be found but that doesn't solve the problems in schools.

There was a project made in Kentucky schools which had several goals which were:
1.- To learn if schools have shared-use agreements;
2.- To understand types of agreements schools have;
3.- To make the best place so that children can exercise;
4.- To encourage kids to do more exercise.

The 4th goal / statement is one of the hardest since most of the people are lazy now a days, so they prefer doing other stuff like playing instead of sports. In my opinion, the best way to encourage kids to do exercise is to play "sports games", in where they exercise as they have fun.
Also, the equipment is not only necessary for "outside school" exercise, many schools don't have a gym or a place to do exercise so they last and only chance is to use the playground.

In conclusion, there are many problems in people's exercise places but also, there are many solutions. For most of the cases the answer is easy, to make it not so much but there will always be a solution into finding where to build and buying more equipment.
