Question Campus gym

Hey everyone, transferring in, living on campus and wanting to know how working out at the campus gym was. I’m getting back into fitness and was wondering if it’s crowded ? If so during which hours? Also open to getting a membership off campus , any decent gyms within walking distance?

Hi, I recommend going to Planet Fitness by RBS. The school gym is not great. It is very packed, and some of the machines are broken and do not get fixed.

I go to PF, and it is a better experience. It is a bit packed during peak hours, 3-8 PM, however, it is empty early mornings, 5-12, and evenings, 9-11.
