Bro, which law schools have wicked gyms?
Seriously though, which schools have good gymnasiums accessible to the students? I've heard good things about Georgetown and Duke; anyone care to elaborate? Any others?
I went to a large state school for undergrad, and there were four gyms, 10 indoor basketball courts, an NCAA track, three olympic pools, numerous racketball courts and even a huge rock wall and a lake for kayaking. I've been jaded to say the least. Before I left the states I used to maintain a 50 mile/week running habit plus 50 mile/week bicycling 4000 meters/week swimming and 3 lifting sessions.
For nearly two years I've been in a developing nation in a situation where I can only do plyometrics and run. I'm itching for an athletic playground, and while it will play no role whatsoever in the law school that I choose, I'd be interested in hearing what people have to say about the set-up at various top schools.

Re: Bro, which law schools have wicked gyms?
Most schools with law schools will have multiple gyms across campus. The real issue is that the vast majority of law/professional school students avoid the undergrad areas like the plague (who can blame them). If you can stand frat boys grunting as they lift weights they shouldn't be touching in a million years then you will be all set.

Again, I went to a big (southern) state school. I couldn't care less about the d-bags over by the mirrors. I got used to them a long time ago. That said I think some have crappy setups (I've heard Vandy's gym is downright awful).dextermorgan wrote:Most schools with law schools will have multiple gyms across campus.

UCLA has a decent gym but there's only 1 on campus. There are 2 pools for student use though, 1 inside and 1 outside near the dorms. There is a basketball court inside, rock climbing wall, and fitness classes, it gets pretty packed though.

Berkeley is notorious for having one of the worst gyms on the planet. Out of date/not enough equipment, terrible layout, and unattractive girls around every corner

One thing you need to consider is how crowded it is. My undergrad has a very nice gym but is so damn crowded that you can't go at a convenient time.

Ohio State has I believe the biggest recreation center in the country, and it has absolutely every amenity you could ask for.

Want to do straight bar bicep curls? Fine, but get the fuck out of my squat rack.
Want to do concentration curls? Fine, but get the fuck off the bench for the lat pulldown machine.
Want to grunt and throw down your 25-lb dumbbells after a set of curls? Not fine, kill yourself immediately.

Re: Bro, which law schools have wicked gyms?
I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one making decisions with a gym being part of the consideration. I've recently started scouring the Penn thread and at least one consistent contributer mentioned that she liked going to an off-campus gym. I'm personally planning on using the campus gym for the swimming pool and then joining a Crossfit gym so I can throw around weights and not worry that it bothers people. But then again, I'm not your average person as lifting is on my top 5 list for best things EVER!
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
