Clue+second+step

I observed the recreation center on campus. I realized that there are all different types of people that use the rec. center. Some people are physically fit already and other are trying to get to that point. It is neat to think that everyone is at the gym to exercise and we all have different interests and reason why we want to exercise. Some are just to be in shape and others are for sports and social activities. While observing I noticed that many peopel socialize while at the gym. For females they really seemed to care about what they looked like. I went into the bathroom and there were a couple girls fixing their hair. Males did not seem to care as much.

These are the areas I observed..... Cardio room Free weight room
 * mostly girl excerised on this equipment
 * there were very few males and if there were they tended to use the same pieces of equipment
 * Most people were listening to music and workout on there own
 * However there were some females along with a few males rotating the machines with friends
 * All males when I observed
 * A lot of spotting and lifting together
 * males are usually in great shape
 * Not real noisy, too focused on lifting

Basketball courts/track area
 * Mostly males were playing on the courts
 * At the time, females were only running on track
 * loud area
 * a lot of socializing

Fitness classes
 * Greatly populated with females
 * males rarely attend classes
 * usually same people every time
