<p>You also get a free trainer with your gym membership...</p>
<p>COOL... here, personal trainers cost $100 a month in addition to gym costs.</p>
<p>For those who are very serious lifters, I'd like to throw in that Teagle actually has Olympic lifting mats and bumpered plates for those into things such as deadlifts and cleans etc. You can sometimes get away with doing these at Helen Newman but everynow and then you get yelled at :/</p>
<p>Your opinion on the athletic facilities depends on mainly what you want to do. If you just want to do cardio training or some toning and low-resistence strength training, then any of the facilities will suit your needs. However, if you're into intensive lifting, then your opinion will probably be different. I agree with lucifer, there really is a shortage of true lifting equipment. Best bet if you want to lift hard is to hit up teagle right after or between classes, as I do. This works out great because this is when it's the least crowded. Its only a 5 minute walk from anywhere on central anyhow, and teagle has everything you need to move some metal. If youre really into it, you'll want to know that teagle is the only public gym on campus with olympic pads for deadlifts, cleans, etc. </p>
<p>I dont think any cornellian who cares about him/herself has trouble finding time to work out. If anything, a lot of people work out obsessively to blow off stress.</p>
<p>k. So there's probably NO way i'll be working out at the campus gym. teagle's 20 minutes from the North campus. Is there a bus back from teagle?</p>
<p>The 80-something stops in front of barton (also in front of teagle) and goes back up to north</p>
<p>I find it so ironic that people are complaining about having to walk to the gym......</p>
<p>hahaha! I was thinking the same thing Sparticus!</p>
<p>Its not the walking (I run marathons for fun), its the time factor and the fact that its FREEZING COLD outside.</p>
<p>Eh, it's not that bad.</p>
<p>I'd trust Spanks, she has a nice booty ;)</p>
<p>yeah, but 20 minutes seems like a long time once you've already spent an hour and a half in the gym. And i have a feeling, I wont really have that much time to spare once i'm at Cornell...</p>
<p>Can anyone direct me to the Teagle Hall website?</p>
<p>never would have thought of googling "cornell teagle hall," would you?</p>
<p>Thanks. I tried googling "Teagle hall cornell university" though.</p>
<p>Paying for fitness on campus? That's ridiculous.</p>
<p>i have a doubt...i was told earlier that each member of the gym gets a personal trainer...is this true???</p>
<p>all you need is an erg. hardest total body workout you can do.</p>
<p>It's true, but only to set up a program, show you the machines, and see your progress every once in a while. They won't sit there every time you go to the gym or anything...</p>
<p>^^^ that's isnt really what u call a personal trainer. At least over here, you call them general trainers. My PT's there with me during my 1 hour workout thrice a week. Basically, he shows me different exercises or variations each time, ensures that i do them correctly, do stretches and that my body aches horribly by the time I'm done with my workout.
As for the general trainers, they're in the gym throughout, but they only help you when you really need help, especially when lifting very heavy weights.
Also, I have to pay Rs 4300 (approx $ 100) per month for a PT.</p>
