Gym

[CalltheAA]

Hey ppl, i was wondereing if any medics work out and whether they have time to work out with the amount of work they are given????. And do most universities have their own gym and is it free??? TY

Most unis will have a gym facility with their sports halls. As for time available, I'm sure the first two years should give you enough time, probably more. Plenty of medics manage far more time-consuming team sports and charity work.

a free gym?

lol, i fink you are not appreciating the term 'running a business' as applied to university, macca.

its your money they're after, baby.

To be fair, out of all the university gyms I've checked out they are a lot cheaper than a normal gym. I think the cheapest i found was like £70 for a year.

you ave a good university, macca.

ours costs considerably more than the local ones! obv the univeristy worked out long ago that peeple coming to nottingham are 95% posh students, so they can put their prices thru the roof wiff out losing a profit.

fortunately, there are ways round using our gyms if you aint a member. (for instance, the hospital gym (which is huge, not a shithole like the georges one) can be joined for free.
our hall is apparently opening a free mini-gym next year too, and the hall next door has a tiny gym that costs £40 to join for the year.

Yeh well I know in Dundee it's really cheap and I've heard Aberdeen is quite cheap aswel. Dundee has a great university gym and Aberdeen has a new sports centre thingy opening in the next couple of years which is cool.

I love Dundee. REALLY love Dundee.

Yeah there's always time for gym. However, student gyms don't tend to have student-friendly opening times.

Some halls of residence have free gyms in Manchester.
