How are the fitness centers at Cornell?

Colleges & Universities Cornell University
46

<p>Ok, to clear some things up:

  1. The fee for gyms Full year access is around $160, no more.
  2. The gyms on North (Helen Newman, and Appel) are very, very nice. Helen Newman is probably the best one on campus but very crowded during peak hours (around 4PM-6PM and 8PM-1030PM)
  3. Teagle is NOT a 30 minute walk from North. It isn’t even a 20 minute walk. Cornell is a big place, yes, but it isn’t THAT big. If you were to walk to Teagle it would take no more than 15 minutes, I promise. Furthermore, there are buses (and all freshmen now get free bus passes Lucky!) that run around the clock and can get you to the gym within 5 minutes.
  4. Yes, there are fitness classes, MANY MANY of them, but they require a premium membership (more money).
  5. You DO NOT get a personal trainer. You get ONE FREE session with a trainer to go over machines and a workout plan so that you don’t kill yourself if you are new to the weight room.</p>
