I'm super biased I must admit...I go to MRU, and the gym there is SO much nicer. Given the size of the school, I figured when I walked into the gym at U of C it would be like their library...floors upon floors upon floors. But I was shocked to see that it was smaller than the one at Mount Royal (or it seems smaller). Anyways, it's always clean when I go, and the machines aren't really all that old. They still work so for me that's all that matters. The one thing that I really like about the gym at the U of C is how they have fans pointed at the people who are using the treadmills and such. I don't think I've been to a gym where I could actually feel the fan on me while I was running. It was nice!
I like this gym, however the parking sucks. It's too expensive to park at U of C, then go and pay to use the gym...so I won't be visiting too much. And I can't imagine just how busy this gym gets once school starts up. But for the summers, if you don't mind parking/walking/taking the bus then it's a nice place!
