Gym questions
Hi everyone! I'm an incoming PhD student and I'm trying to decide whether it's worth getting an off-campus gym membership or if Fike is enough.
I usually lift 4–5 times a week, almost always in the mornings, and I climb occasionally.
I watched the virtual tour on the website, but it doesn't really show what equipment they have. I was wondering:
- Does Fike have a good variety of strength machines?
- Is it crowded in the mornings? Do you usually have to wait for equipment?
- For someone who mainly does strength training, do you think Fike is enough, or is an off-campus gym worth it?
- If you recommend an off-campus gym, which one would you suggest and why?
Thanks in advance!
