Best Times for College Gym?

I'm trying to plan my future college schedule and I really want to include fitness into my daily routine. In your experience, when are college gyms the least busy? I prefer quieter times to focus on my workouts.

There are usually two periods of the day when college gyms are least crowded: early morning and late at night. A lot of students find it hard to get up early for a workout, so if you're an early bird, heading to the gym just after it opens could be a good option for you. On the flip side, if you're more of a night owl, you might find that the gym quiets down considerably late at night, usually a couple of hours before closing.

Mid-afternoon can sometimes also be a quieter time, especially on weekdays when most students are in class. However, times can vary between colleges, so it would be a good idea to check out the gym at different times during the first couple weeks of the semester to find out when it's least busy at your particular school.

Additionally, consider that the gym often gets more crowded during the first few weeks of each semester, as students start their new year’s resolutions or try to establish a workout routine. But the crowd usually thins out as the semester goes on and students get busier with classes and other commitments.

Remember that balance in your schedule is the key to maintaining a consistent workout routine in college. So, while the gym's busyness is something to consider, it's also essential to find a time that consistently works with your academic and social schedule. Good luck in creating your fitness routine!
