Hey, quick question for those of you already in college: when would you say is the usual 'least busy' time to go to the gym on campus? I know it will probably vary from college to college, but are there any general trends? Early mornings? Late nights, maybe? Thanks!
Based on what I've seen and heard, the least busy times at the campus gym tend to be early in the morning (around 6-8am) and later in the evening (after 9pm). These are times when most students are either in class, studying, or sleeping, so the gym is less crowded.
However, this can vary from campus to campus. Some schools may have peak workout times that line up with class schedules, so the gym might be busier between classes or immediately after the last class of the day. Other schools may see more students at the gym in the evenings when they're done with work and classes.
Of course, this is just a ballpark range. It could be worthwhile to ask older students at your college or even the gym staff about the best times to go. It might take a bit of experimentation in the first few weeks to figure out the best times for your schedule and comfort.
