AUC has no gym, better get back ur app fee.

[stateofequilibrium]

We have a workout room, but no gym. Though there are gyms close by.

And plenty of study places.....

but why would u need those for...

[Cardinal]

You can usually find SOE at the gym checking out Jim:D

[FOID]

the closest gym is at maho. it's a small gym and unfortunately, it doesn't have all the equipment.

[goldfish85]

this is the only thing that bothers me a lot about AUC.... no gym!?

I thought that AUC was building a gym? or was this false?

that's a negative ghostrider...

[goldfish85]

so does this mean that no one in AUC goes to the gym? :shock:

[MushieCookie]

Hello...thereare gyms on the island!! There are a few good ones too...

AUC has been 'building a gym' since they moved to sxm...right?

[tylertexas]

the closest gym is at maho. it's a small gym and unfortunately, it doesn't have all the equipment. so what's the next closest gym? with all the bbq joints mentioned on here, i will definitely need a gym, as i am rather weak-willed, regarding the high triglyceride food families.

Marci's Mega Gym, across from McDonalds, next to Ric's Place upstairs ..... pretty decent and last I saw, they were remodling.....

There are PLENTY of workout-a-holics (im not one of them) and believe me, they are more than satisfied with the gyms on the island. The nice one my fiancee used to go to all the time is at the Royal Islander Hotel across the bridge. They offer student discounts (about half as much as the price in Maho) and it has HUGE bay windows overlooking the entrance to the lagoon where all the boats come in. The few times I did manage to go, it was definitely cool to see all those nice boats going by.

I think I was the one last semester bitching a fit about the MANDATORY SGA fee that was supposed to going toward a gym and study carrels. Which, I havent been to the dorms lately, but heard they arent in either. So, you're welcome for my $35 that could've gone toward a few more icy beverages at Lady C's.

Oh, and Marci's is not air-conditioned, which may not seem like a problem til July hits and the average temp feels like its 200F. Royal Islander does. Just something else to consider.

He was asking the men, not the boys who have the daily soloflex routine high on their 'to-do' list.

i think you right...
but seriously working out is the best de-stressor and antidepressant out there:D

I would've said.. you know.. sex.. but that's just me..

That doesn't solve your stress-problem, well unless you are talking pulling a Hans SOLO.

[tylertexas]

cupecoy beach club has its own weight room, but haven't seen it yet. could be a rusty schwinn airdyne and a chin-up bar, for all i know.

[rnagy54]

So, that's why you always seem so stressed running around the school... it all makes sense now.

:D

SOE is like Fez from that 70s show...

[Scott1981]

what the heck happened to that. i thought all on the island campus were paying extra money because the gym was getting built immedietely?

i do remember this coming from sga directly.

[microphage]

last I checked, the school was in the Caribbean. So I assume they're running on Caribbean time...
:twisted:

[ChanceCount]

At an SGA meeting a couple of weeks ago, the president said the room was currently being built and was soliciting people for the "exercise" committee to help select equipment and finalize details. I volunteered but I haven't heard anything. If I hear anything, I will mention it here.

In the meantime, you can relax and wait on the gazebos currently being built.

THATS WHAT THEY"RE BUILDING OVER THERE??? Man, you would not believe the rumors that were goin around about what those were gonna be... ICM exam rooms, a new library, the "gym" that I keep hearing about, and a few other fun things. Why gazebos? Just curious.

[abugslyf]

just wondering, since there are no gyms...is it safe to jog around campus or anywhere by the beach? or should i just ship a treadmill or stationary bike?

For you to read the posts and concider everything.

[LowCarbs]

No gym yet? How far is the closest, most modern gym? Within walking distance?

[Arkie]

OMG :shock: , everyone needs to relax...just jog 20-30 minutes 4 times a week and do some situps and pushups. You'll be fine. :-jumprope

[LowCarbs]

Anyone who works out and can answer the question wish to respond?

[stateofequilibrium]

The closest is in Maho. It's eer, walking distance from campus. About 20-30 minutes walk across the golf course, passed the wild dogs, speeding motorists on the only road, and microphage offering boom boom good time for 5 dollah sailor.

[tylertexas]

allegedly, the school has ordered workout equipment. when it arrives, and the gold paint dries, it's to temporarily be installed on the 5th floor until a separate gym stucture can be built.

[jameslynton]

... and microphage offering boom boom good time for 5 dollah sailor.That sly dog! Does he also make woo-woo sounds with that?

[jameslynton]

everyone needs to relax...just jog 20-30 minutes 4 times a week and do some situps and pushups. You'll be fine. Sounds like Charles Atlas - claimed that eating right - doing 300 situps, 300 pushups and 300 knee bends daily gave him his body. BTW - he died from a heart attack while out for a jog...at age 77. I attempted his training method and shortly there after got tennis elbow from the pushup and had to have a knee operation from the knee bends. My opinion - becareful with the exercise suggestions.

[MushieCookie]

you can jog around campus...and the surrounding areas. Just be smart...do it when it's light out.

Gyms...check out the Royal Palms in Simpson bay. Nice gym...a bit pricey...but it's nice.

[ChanceCount]

The closest gym is within walking distance, but there and back 4-5 times a week gets tiresome. You could also take the bus. Before I got a car, I used to do both of these all the time. You have time to do that first semester, but after that spending 2+hours getting to the gym and working out gets more difficult.

[redzz]

If you're a sprinter you could always go to Philipsburg at night and step outside of your car. Pretty good workout for those who like an adrenaline rush in addition to "feeling the burn".

Is Dr. S still doing Jazzercise, step, and toning classes? I really enjoyed her classes while I was there.

yep! she still does.

[Sugars8]

according to the "new" sga president, in his "elect me" speech, said that the gym equipment is ordered and will be placed in the 5th floor exercise room, where S teaches step and toning. so while we wait for the equipment to find its permanent home, those of us who enjoy a little exercise on campus will be destined to get fat?

I tried to impeach Jon(the former SGA prez) because he was refusing to let me set up a Street Fighter 2 tournament downstairs in the dungeon...

I thought the new sga president's platform was a big party?
