<p>what kind of access to gyms/ fitness centers does duke offer? where on campus? etc
thanks =]</p>
<p>Wilson/athletic complex on west has basketball courts, outdoor tennis courts, weight room, cardio equipment, racquetball courts, a pool, a climbing wall, and group exercise rooms</p>
<p>Brodie on east has pool, basketball courts, racquetball courts, outdoor tennis courts, weights, cardio, etc</p>
<p>There might be a small converted workout room on central and there are outdoor facilities for a pool, basketball court, tennis court, etc. The central athletic facilities tend to be changed from year to year. </p>
<p>All undergrads have access to all the gyms on both east and west. Grad students pay a recreation fee or something like that.</p>
<p>how nice is the gym on east campus?</p>
<p>thank you =] very helpful</p>
<p>gym on east is pretty good. Can’t really think of much that you’d have to go to West for. The only thing might be the hours as Wilson might be open a bit more. Honestly though, it’s been 3 years since I’ve been there so I have no clue what it’s like now.</p>
<p>how crowded/uncrowded are they usually?</p>
<p>I myself have not had an issue with the gym being too crowded. There’s usually always people inside though, from opening to closing.</p>
<p>It depends, if you go use the free weights at Wilson in the late afternoon before dinner then expect to have to wait for a few minutes for a bench or equipment. But that’s pretty much expected and you can still get a workout in if you are willing to be flexible. Otherwise, the facilities are more than enough to support the demand.</p>
<p>Do you have to live in Brodie/Wilson to use their climbing wall or tennis courts? Or can you just go even if you are a part of another housing?</p>
<p>The gyms do not have living quarters. Gym facilities are open to all undergraduate, graduate, and professional students as well as faculty and I believe their dependents.</p>
