What’s the situation with gyms? Are there memberships for separate gyms, or can all students use all the gyms?
Most students use the Rec, and some freshmen use the one in the Commons Center too. You don’t need to have separate memberships. For the Rec, you just need to swipe your Commodore Card.
@Sophie1295 Thank you so much! Can upperclassmen use the one in the Commons Center as well?
Yes, they can!
There are three gyms: commons, alumni hall, and the rec center. All students can use all gyms.
Commons and alumni are smaller; they have a bunch of bikes/treadmills/ellipticals/a stair climber or two/a row machine/a couple weight machines/dumbbells that don’t go very high. That’s why commons gym is usually called “estrogym”.
The rec is huge and has more of everything+pool/climbing wall/squash and racquetball courts/basketball courts/volleyball and badminton areas/an indoor track. It has a much better free weight situation with lots of barbells but is further away from dorms.
