Make Friends with the Campus Gym
Posted by chasingsunlight on June 20, 2008
Finding the space to workout in a cramped dorm room is nearly impossible, but who wants to spend tons of money on a gym membership? The good news is that nearly every campus has its own fitness center available to students. While some of these facilities may have separate membership fees, most schools include the gym fee in your regular tuition bill. So, if you’re already paying for it, why not use it? It would basically be wasting money not to stop in and workout.
Most campus gyms will have a variety of cardio equipment, free weights, and strength-training machines. If you don’t know what to use or how to use it, enlist the help of a trainer. Many schools (including mine) have student athletic trainers available for FREE. A trainer can help you assess your current level of fitness and pick an appropriate exercise routine. Some schools also offer workout classes. Running on the treadmill not your thing? Try yoga or kickboxing!
Every school is different, so do some quick research and find out what your campus has to offer.
