<p>Does anyone regularly go to the workout center?
How does it work, is it free to get in if you
are a student?</p>
<p>I really wanna play Squash and do the Rockwall.</p>
<p>yes. </p>
<p>its included in your fees. you swipe your bruin card when you go in.</p>
<p>where's the workout center?
where can you get more info about this so called workout center?</p>
<p>Also, do lots of ucla student go to L.A. fitness or other public fitness center? or do they have some super secret exclusive ucla fitness center?</p>
<p>most people go to wooden, which is across bruin plaza from the bruin bear and ackerman. its convenient, cheap, and 2 years old. it offers pretty much anything you'd want from a chain gym, including classes. </p>
<p>im actually going to pay extra to continue to use wooden post graduation. i love it.</p>
<p>Is that place packed? what are the "rush hours" of those gyms? At 24 hour fitness, its usually packed around 4-6pm</p>
<p>its busy from around 730 am to 930 am, 5:30-900pm on weekdays. weekends are a crapshoot and it depends on where you are in the quarter. but really even when its really crowded it doesn't take too long to get a machine. i don't think i've ever waited more than 15 or 20 minutes at the absolute most. their system is relatively efficient.</p>
<p>So let me get this straight, for students it is FREE, and if you are not a student or a graduate you can use it too, but you have to pay?</p>
<p>I'm totally into Squash and I know that mostly older people play it (and at my old gym were mostly occupied by old people when I wanted to play), does that mean that the courts can used up by non students??</p>
<p>its not technically free. it's something like $12/quarter. community members, including alumni, can purchase memberships for certain fees. there are plenty of older people in there early in the morning and in the evenings. </p>
<p>and i don't know anything about how that works but sure, i guess they could be. really, there are plenty of resources for everyone. its a brand new facility.</p>

<p>$15 for students, $20 for recreational users.</p>
<p>The facility is not big enough to accomodate the large # of people who use it daily. It's not the best looking gym (compared to other colleges), but it's well above average.</p>
<p>maybe because i don't really use the raquetball courts or weights or anything, but ive never had an issue with there being soooo many people using stuff that i got screwed. or maybe i just learned when to go so it wouldn't be crowded. </p>
<p>i dunno. either way its definitely a pretty nice facility and you'll make it work.</p>
<p>There should be more basketball courts (never empty), more equipment in the fitness room, and it'd be nice if they would double the outdoor area and put more equipment there.</p>
<p>They could possibly cut into 1/5 of the IM field and that walkway in between; that would be nice.</p>
<p>oh i love that walkway. i always walked (sigh. past tense) behind wooden from janss when i didn't want to deal with people on bruinwalk.</p>
<p>am now old and w.i.s.t.f.u.l* for the wooden walkway.</p>
<p>*what the hell? i hate filters that censor completely innocuous words.</p>
<p>^ I think it's the "s t f u"</p>
<p>ah. it censored the "i' though, too. it was weird. </p>
<p>i hate filters. im a grown up.</p>
