<p>How are the athletic facilities (work-out gyms) near the North, freshmen campus? How much does a gym membership cost? Are there indoors pools that we can use at our discretion? Are there female-only facilities so that I that I can wear my lululemons without guys gawking at me?</p>
<p>no female only facilities...the sweat room is for females only...</p>
<p>i think there are designated times for pool but not for the gym...</p>
<p>I never worked out at Appel, but I went to Helen Newman gym a few times (worked out almost exclusively at Teagle). The lifting area and equipment at Newman was pretty bad. It was packed all the time, I could barely move, it smelled, and there was long waits for benches and the like. But the aerobic equipment looks good.</p>
<p>I imagine for a girl who doesn't mind working out with lots of people around her, all the gyms are very good. Teagles has a nice upstairs as well that's populated mostly by girls. It's not hard to find a treadmill or an eliptical or a bike on campus. I found the only good lifting environment was at teagle downstaris though.</p>
<p>Is there a gym near west campus that's decent?</p>
<p>The guys are gawking at you because they are in disbelief that you would even consider wearing those kinds of pants - at the gym or otherwise.</p>
<p>There is Noyes, which is beautiful.</p>
<p>Girls that can wear lululemons (or similar clothing well) well are not meant to be gawked at.</p>
<p>They are meant to be anticipated, and appreciated, and missed.</p>
<p>Damn, and if they're intelligent too!?</p>
<p>Girls that wear lululemon pants around are like guys who wear nothing but muscle shirts - it reeks of insecurity.</p>
<p>so what time are the gyms usually crowded? I like to go to the gym when there is really not much people.</p>
<p>Noyes is packed at around 9am and usually around 4 or 5 pm, as well. Pretty empty during the day, and not too crowded at night.</p>

<p>Maybe so, but it looks fantastic.</p>
<p>helen newman is the gym on earth. I think its fine, but I only use the elliptical so I don't have much input on the weights or anything. most freshmen work out there, so you will usually see someone you know at any time. sometimes it gets a little competitive, which I like. seeing some girl in killer shape with the elliptical on high resistance pushes me to give myself a tough workout too.
the least crowded times are early in the morning and mid afternoon (1-3ish) it usually starts getting crowded around 3:30. </p>
<p>all of you spandex haters have really got to accept that they are standard staple of the female wardrobe. they're comfortable (girl jeans are nothing like boy jeans - skinny jeans get pretty constricting!), and as long as a girl is skinny they look good. I work hard to keep the pounds off and get toned, I want to reap all the benefits. As long as they aren't see through tights they're not even much more revealing than a lot of jeans.</p>
<p>"..., I want to reap all the benefits. .."</p>
<p>And so do we; Carry on!</p>
