Staying Inshape at SCSU


Today I decided to take a stroll down to the fitness center. Our fitness center here at Southern has a wide range of machines from ellipticals and treadmills to many different weight machines. The initial fee for the semester was 60 dollars however as of October 15th the price was reduced to 35 dollars. The gym is an easy and convenient way for students to stay in or get in shape.

Our gym has many different classes taught by other students and faculty. Some of these classes include kick boxing, yoga and aerobics. All classes are taught in the gym’s very nice class room. Almost all of the staff and teachers are extremely nice and helpful.

There are a couple of rules you must follow in order to be a member. No “street clothes” are allowed, no undergarments are allowed to be exposed, all must wear gym sneakers and no tight tee shirts or work out clothing. As well it is recommended that a lock is brought to keep your wallets and jackets safe inside of the provided lockers because theft does occur.

My only complaint that I have about our gym is that it cost students each semester to be a member. I understand that money needs to be made to pay the staff, however I don’t agree that the students should be charged. We all pay a great deal of money to attend this school and I think it is a bit much to charge us to go to the gym and stay healthy on top of the other expenses we have to pay. Over all our schools gym offers a great number of classes taught by friendly staff, provide us multiple machines and a great safe place to work out and stay fit.
