<p>USC's current fitness center for students, Lyon Center, is a disgrace. Does anyone know when USC will be building a new fitness center for regular students? (Not student athletes)
I know they are just about done with constructing a new student center, but it does not have a weight room or anything associated to fitness.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>What, exactly, is wrong with the Lyon Center?</p>
<p>Dude, the Lyon center is great. It’s a better facility than most school’s, even those with a much larger student body. Plus the outdoor swimming pools and hot tubs are amazing. I know that, as trojans, we have a pretty big sense of entitlement but come on man. If you don’t like the Lyon center then hit up the indoor swimming pool and other facilities at PED, it’s a two minute walk. Sprint there if you want a better workout.</p>
<p>Go when the Lyon center opens and it’s almost deserted; no waiting at all. If it’s still not good enough join a club team to get your workouts in. If it’s still not good enough train and walk onto a varsity team.</p>
<p>Also I’ve seen a few of the varsity gyms they’re much less crowded but not much better.</p>
<p>For someone who works out quite alot, I agree with zpaintballer. The Lyon center is horrible (old equipment, not enough equipment, etc).</p>
<p>My time at USC has been amazing, but the Lyon center could use an upgrade.</p>
<p>Yes they will when the new UV opens up in 2014.</p>

<p>yeah i agree that the lyon center is one of the few things that USC needs to fix. sounds like the master plan has a new fitness center though, so i guess that’ll be taken care of.</p>
<p>but really, go check out any other BCS-conference school’s gym (for the general student populace, not the athletes) and i can almost guarantee you that USC’s facilities are among the worst.</p>
