Wow at the new Hammer Strength machines and Olympic squat racks! The new wing of the rec center will blow you away. Biometric admission system is pretty cool too.
I always use the weight room upstairs to avoid alot of congestion....Sunday evenings are usually pretty non-congested on the main floor if ur trying to decide when to work out on the weekends...
Best to come before 4:00, too crowded after that. Pretty dead 10:00-3:00. Too many machines, but barbell/freeweights are enough. Nice pools.
I just started taking the Cross Training class (CTX). It's tough but it's going to make my running so much faster and stronger!
Check out the fall trips and clinics that the Center for Outdoor Adventure offers. There's an indoor bouldering clinic today at 6:00pm. Check it out! Read more
Opens at 5:45am. By 6:15 its packed and stays like that for the rest of the day. Be prepared for crowds.
Get there during non peak hours to avoid the crowds. Field house has open hours too - plus it usually pretty empty.
Try the KoreFit machine - it provides a full body workout in one piece of equipment (especially for your core!)
Can't find a free machine on the first floor? Head upstairs! The Fitness Center 's gym area is broken up into smaller areas located on different floors.

Awesome atmosphere for football! Love football in the elements in Minnesota. Go for Vikings and Gopher games. - Lane Pelovsky
Love the open piano. Pretty much all food selection takes Flexdine (if you're a student), and the bookstore is massive. - Hob Nocker
