So the URI gym sucks

[karandom]

I went to the weight room at school for the first time and I'm not impressed. Its way to small for a school that has something like 13,000 kids. With just a seemingly normal crowd all the benches, and most the free weights I needed were being used and I hate waiting for equipment. The YMCA that I've been lifting at was sadly better and less crowded. Not to mention substantially larger. WTF URI you can spend 25 million on a dinning hall to get people fat, yet you give us little or no means to keep in shape.

I guess I'll need to start lifting at odd hours to get anything done.

that does suck. the gym was one of the best things about USF

That sucks.. Story of America. Spend all the money to make it easier and quicker to eat more and forget about the exercise.

Hopefully you find some uncrowded time to hit the gym. Good luck.

Bummer man

Today was the first day it was open so maybe that affected the numbers, but there really weren't that many people there. I don't want to think what it is like when it is really crowded.

our gym at Carolina is like a damn day spa...brand new and sweet

[karandom]

I've started going earlier so the crowds are less of a problem, but its BS that with the tuition they charge they can't provide a decent gym.


Although they are discussing a new "fitness center", i'll probably have graduated by the time its built.

The kinesiology department runs another gym that is bigger and nicer in there. Its used for labs such as biomechancis and also the strength training class.
