    On campus.
    My school has a nice gym and I can walk to it between classes.
  • What do you use?

    Well, I am not paying for a gym membership due to limited funds. With that being said, I tend to use the rec center on campus due to the center having nice equipment. If I go to a place off campus, it is normally with a friend who has a guest pass to Planet Fitness or the YMCA.

    I wish my school had a gym. =\

    I go to a little local gym, for now.
  • Off campus all the way, too uncomfortable to work out in front of my classmates.
  • On-campus; it's literally 30 feet from my front door. Buut on days I don't get to it until prime gym rat time (when every god-forsaken machine is taken by the DYEL crowd), I'll pop in a workout DVD and/or do some jump rope/jumping jacks/high knees in my room.

    You're welcome, dorm room right below mine.

    Our gym is really nice but we have tons of students sooo I started going at 6am, it sucks but every single morning I know that it will pay off.

    This last week I am doing morning and evening workouts... Soo we shall see how that goes.
  • on campus! gym is great and classes are free :)
  • On campus! Be honest guys.. what do you guys think when girls walk into the weight room? I really enjoy lifting. I am normally the only girl in the free weights area. Sometimes guys makes me feel really uncomfortable because they just stare.

    The guys stare because its a nice refresher to see a girl in there.

    Once you show them you can hold your own - you'll become a regular in their eyes.

    Maybe try to bring a friend or go at the same time so its more of the same people every time?

    On campus, cheaper than off campus, but off campus is nice. Its a new 24/7 with a sauna and for extra a tanning booth.

    I live off campus and sometimes just run to and from the gym as well.

    Edit- not looking forward to new years resolutioner's though

    I am not excited for all the new years resolution people at the gym. I think its great and all but every year its the same. Huge crowds and then slowly it gets back to normal.

    I love the gym on campus during the semester while its open. I go to the YMCA when dad goes during the breaks. Honestly, I feel more uncomfortable at the Y than I do at the campus gym. Too many fit people at the Y. Don't be embarrassed to workout in front of your classmates. A lot of times I go in the late afternoon/early evening and I see one of my professors in there all the time. Register for PE classes at the campus. You'll meet students like yourself. I have taken 2 semesters of water aerobics and a semester of pilates. Talk about awkward, but if just pay attention to yourself and the instructor, its not as bad as it looks because some are thinking the same thing.

    On campus. It's a nice facility, it's convenient, and it's already included when I pay my tuition. Why spend the extra money by getting a membership off campus?
