When I was picking my location, I was trying to think where I spend most of my time.....which is the Recreation Center (gym)

Here's a map of the whole gym:


 * < = Entrance: =

~When you first walk in you'll notice students working at the front desk ready to swipe your ID card in order to get in

~You can rent lockers for your belongings which are found on the right side. You just have to take the key with you and return it when you're finished. ||< =Fitness Room:=

~This room is where all the machines are found. Boys and girls use this room.People can also lift weights if desired. The room is lined with flat screen TV's to watch while working out.

~I spend about 2 hours in this room. I like to run, lift weights, and do ab workouts.

~I also see many of my friends in this area of the gym. ||< = Rock Climbing Wall: =

~This is a really cool area where anyone could rock climb if they want. All you have to do is rent shoes and then begin climbing

~I've seen people spend about an hour tying to reach the top.

~Boys and girls take part in this activity. ||
 * < = Weight Room: =

~This room is known as the "men room". You hardly see girls working out.

~The room is filled with all weights. And all the guys that work out in this room have huge muscles and are really fit.

~I see guys spend about 30 min-1hr lift to their max capacity ||< =Track/Basketball/Volleyball/Tennis Court:=

~This area is much bigger than other areas. It has a track for anyone to run on. I spend some of my time running 8 laps which equals a mile.

~Many guys play basketball on the courts for hours and hours. Many guys play intramural sports, so they're always practicing.

~The court also turns into nets for volleyball and tennis. Many girls and boys play intramural sports as well and they're constantly in there.

~I've seen people spend about 3 hours on the court max. It's a popular place. ||< = Racket Ball/ Ping Pong Area: =

~Near the track they're ping pong tables set up for anyone to play. Surprisingly, people use these tables a lot.

~Next to the ping pong tables they're four rooms for racket ball. Anyone can go in and play. As long as they have the right gear on, they can play as long as they want. This is a good workout if someone wants to have fun.

~I've seen people play for about 30 min max. ||
 * < = Activities Room: =

~This room is for all the classes that goes on during the week.

~Zumba is one class that's offered which is very popular. I've tried it and got such a great workout.

~Classes run for about an hour and are always packed!!! You should get to your class 30 min early in order to get a good spot.

~Most girls are found in this room:) ||< =Multi-Purpose Room:=

~ This is another room with a basketball court. I don't usually see many people in it all the time. The room is all the way in the back and some people don't even realize it's there.

~If I do see people playing in it, it's usually guys. ||<  ||

===After observing the gym, I could tell that many people also enjoy working out and having fun like I do. I usually go to the gym to work off stress and if I'm angry. I'm sure other people do the same. I also observed that many people care about what they look like. They want to feel good about themselves and maybe lose some weight by going. I always go to stay in shape because it's easy to give in to temptations for food:) Some people feel like they belong when going to the gym. For example, some students are amazing at sports and the gym offers them the time to shine. The gym brings people together and it's always packed. After being in college, I've noticed many people make going to the gym a part of their schedule everyday. This definitely shows how determined some students are including myself. Some people will make an effort to go to the gym and some may not.... the choice is up to you!!!!!===
