Today, you get a chance to check out the Eliot, Kirkland, and Winthrop House gyms in the second in our four part series. These "gyms," generally limited to House residents, range from dingy dungeons with a few exercise machines, to dingy dilapidated rooms with a television set and a few more exercise machines. But yeah, maybe they're not that bad. Some are definitely better than others. And if your gym sucks, there is always the MAC or the QRAC. Most gyms are card swipe access for their house only, but hey, you can always make friends and borrow...
...gyms are pretty cramped, Eliot managed to avoid that issue. In part, this is because Eliot only has two treadmills, two elliptical machines/cross-trainers, one stair machine, and one bike. (There are also ergs in a nearby room.) In all, there's less cardio equipment here than in Winthrop and Kirkland...
...Kirkland and Winthrop, after the jump...
...Kirkland House...
Anyone with swipe access can get into the Kirkland House gym, under E Entry. The gym sits in a larger room. As you exercise you can listen to the sound of an adjacent ping pong game. This seems to take away from the gym atmosphere but also means the space is more open and thus less crowded feeling...
