Students who love to work out don't need to spend extra cash on pricey gym memberships when they already pay for one with their tuition.
Students are entitled to use facilities during free hours in Candler Physical Education Center where kinesiology and dance classes meet.
"The conditioning room is most popular," Instructor Dawn Brooks said.
Each facility is available at different times to accommodate classes.
"We have to work around the classes," Brooks said.
The conditioning room is available 3:15 p.m.-4:45 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, 4 p.m.- 5 p.m. Tuesday, 3 p.m.-5 p.m. Thursday, and 2 p.m.-4 p.m. Friday.
Gym 1 is always closed to the public, but Gym 2 has at least an hour a day with open access.
Try a pick-up game or practice free throws 2 p.m.-4 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, 3 p.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday, and 1 p.m.-3 p.m. Friday. Basketballs are not provided so participants should bring their own.
The weight room is open only to students enrolled in weight-training courses.
"The risk for injury is really high," Brooks said, adding there is no guarantee that spotters will be present.
The racquetball courts are available 1 p.m.-3 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and 3 p.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. Students must provide equipment, and "goggles are a must," Brooks said.
The pool is available 1 p.m.-3:45 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, and 3 p.m.-4:15 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday.
As well as having access to these areas of Candler, students soon will have access to the computer lab in the building 10 a.m.-noon Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and 1 p.m.-2 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday.
