Best Law School Gyms? Forum

[hoffb86]

Not that many people on here are interested in U. Maryland (although there are a few)...

U. Maryland just built an amazing student center for their grad schools in baltimore (law included)...

I'm trying to find a link, but it looks incredible. Over 3 floors makeup the gym, pool, track, etc. of the facility. I think it is set to open this fall...

When i move there i will post some real pictures... but for now: [url]http://campuscenter.umaryland.edu/photos.htm/[url]

I didn't get to see it when I visited, but I hear that Michigan has a pretty nice gym waiting for me this fall. I did wander over to the ridiculous new b-school building and scoped out their Equinox Fitness Center... Wow.

EDIT: Also heard that Columbia's sucks. Has anyone seen it?

My number one concern is that the gym has a squash court.

Penn gets you access to Pottruck, the university gym.

Plain awesome.
1st floor: full dedication to elliptical cycles, treadmills, and rowing machines (ironically has floor-ceiling windows that stare out at the food trucks!)
2nd floor: grunt and scream with the meatheads; indoor basketball court; separate stretching mat area with more weights and punching bags
3rd floor: mixed dance/yoga/spinning studios and treadmills and weights
4th floor: same as 3rd
Pool at bottom

This is an excellent thread. I never even considered how important this will be to me. To be honest, I am more concerned with being able to use equipment without a long wait rather than how nice it is. When I worked at UF I didn't want to bother with the busy student rec centers (or the crazy membership fee they charged staff members) so I just used the 2 small workout rooms in the basketball arena and it was great. They were never really busy and I got to workout with the actual athletes fairly often.

Is Gainesville Health and Fitness still amazing, or has it gone downhill?

Boston U.'s center looks the best. Are non-students allowed to use the facilities?

Michigan's gyms blow. CCRB is supposed to be getting a huge revamp I think.

Wait, does it have a monorail running straight to it?

If I remember correctly, it's a walkway that runs over the street.

Oh. That sucks then. Boooo!

Can I bump this? I am really interested! I go to the gym all week so it is pretty important to me.

I didn't want to repost so I dug out this read. Doesn't have to be the 'best'. I guess I was looking for which schools have: good, bad, none.

The John Wooden Center at UCLA is pretty cool. Only drawback is how crowded it can get at certain times.

[superflush]

Is Illinois better than anywhere else in the Big Ten?
Better than Ohio State?

You seem to have a lot of support on this. What makes it so epic?
