<p>So, yes, the question above. Why you might ask when there's the RSF?</p>

<p>(1) I mostly do calisthenics/bodyweight exercises, don't have much use for weights. </p>

<p>So I'm talking of things such as as pull-up bars, walls, and hand supports (for leg raises). Really primitive stuff that you can find on most school playgrounds (at least until the health and safety people started butting in). I really don't need or desire anything more.</p>

<p>(2) I'll be graduating this summer. RSF is okay with student membership, not okay when its $50 / month as for alumni. I mean not that its too much for me, but simply that why should I pay that when I only use the simplest equipment there?</p>

<p>(3) Lastly, I just prefer exercising in the open air anyway.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>You can buy a pullup bar that hangs in the doorway for pullups. You can do dips between two chairs or tables.</p>

<p>Then you can run to a local park (perhaps with a mat) to do other exercises. Perhaps just use a picnic bench for leg raises? Trees can substitute for walls for some exercises.</p>

<p>Unfortunately I can’t. I’m renting my room and the walls are brittle as flakes. I do NOT want to risk installing a pullup bar. Chairs - one is an office swivel chair, the other is a loose fragile thing that will more likely than not give way if used for aerobatics.</p>

<p>The park is a realizable idea, of course. Although not People’s.</p>
