Hi, I'd like to work out without a bunch of people around. From your experience, what's the least crowded time to hit the college gym?
From observations and general feedback, the least crowded times to hit the gym often depend on the specific college and student schedule trends. However, a common timeslot when gyms can be less crowded at a lot of colleges is early in the morning. Many students choose to sleep in, so by choosing to work out at dawn, there's a good chance you'll find the gym relatively empty.
Another option could be during peak class times, especially in the mid-morning and early afternoon. Most students will be in classes during those times, so you may find fewer people at the gym. On the same note, avoid the gym in the early evening (around 5-7 PM), as it's often the busiest time with students coming in after their day's classes.
Finally, weekends, especially Sunday mornings, may also be quieter; many students tend to sleep in or hang out with friends.
Remember that these are just general trends, and it could vary based on your college. It can be beneficial to experiment with different times to see what works best on your specific campus.
