Staying on track with my fitness goals is a huge priority for me, especially once I head to college. I prefer working out when it's quiet, so does anyone know what times college gyms are usually the least crowded?
In general, college gyms tend to be least crowded very early in the morning, around 5-7am, and later in the evening after 8pm. That's when most students are either asleep, studying, or off at classes, extracurriculars, or social activities. However, it's important to note that this can vary quite a bit from school to school, so it would be best to check the specific gym hours for your college and perhaps ask the staff or other gym-goers when quiet times generally are.
Additionally, weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends. Many students have a lot of free time on the weekends, making the gym a popular spot. During the weekdays, academic responsibilities can keep students away from the gym during the day.
Just keep in mind that everyone's fitness routine is different so these times can fluctuate. You might have to explore a bit the first few weeks to find the perfect time for you.
