Without having to face social anxiety or deal with the frustration of waiting on equipment, you are setting yourself up for success in sticking to your routine.

No one else will have access to the space during your scheduled time.

Every single treadmill at the location on port I have used consistently. Well, I've tried. And they just flat out need replaced. Something wrong with the motor. It's not "fixed". So stop acting like it is. People are paying over $50 a month. Maybe you should have working equipment. Used to say Genesis was expensive, but I'm realizing it's worth it. Because they have more income to be able to properly fix their equipment. Instead of opening the gym in Wamego, you could've fixed the facilities you already have.

The owners are very nice and really care about the quality of the equipment and cleanliness of the facility. I haven't done any personal training, but the trainers are always helpful and I have heard great things. They also offer a variety of other services including group classes and massages. The prices for memberships and services are very reasonable. If you're looking for a real weightlifting gym and a place to be surrounded by people working hard to improve themselves, this is the best place in Manhattan, KS.

The K-State Recreation Center is a beautiful complex on the northwest side of campus. It has…read moreparking reserved at all times for any KSU permit holder except on football game days when those spots are rented out. The Rec Center has its share of weight and cardio machines, free weights, nice locker rooms, and dual entrances. It also has a combatives room, four studios for classes, a private gym for personal training, a rock climbing wall, outdoor equipment rental, a challenge course for leadership development and group bonding, a smoothie cafe, 2 tracks, plenty of courts - pretty much anything one needs to work out. I have been trying out the different classes, getting a feel for the different offerings. Everyone teaching courses is certified in the course area. There are courses focusing on mind & body, cycling, aerobics, cardio, abs - so many options. There are even aquatics-based courses. However, to be a member of the gym for non-students costs one amount, but joining the natatorium has another fee. I have the gym-only membership. Thus far, I have taken all-levels yoga, yogalates, PiYo, and Zumba. The classes are all challenging and intense, and garner a good amount of attendees regardless of the day of the week. There are even classes on weekends. I plan to try as many as I can to vary my work out. To bring a guest only costs $5, so I can have Eric R. join me when he wants to use the gym instead of the local trails. The hours are really good as the center is open most of the day every day.

There are non-traditional students that pay the same fees and attend the same classes; however, it would be hard to tell. The campus is all about this "family" that is wildcats. That "family," can leave you feeling left out and uncared for as a student if you were not raised within a 5-100 mile radius of Manhattan, KS. This campus is swimming with students that have yet to nor will they ever experience what the real world is like. There is a lack of culture and diversity in this small, western, Middle-America town. Some of us do not bleed purple, as a result, will be left on the outskirts of what feels like a neighborhood bonfire that you were not invited to. That being said, there is nothing that can be done about inconsiderate youth here. The real tangible things that can be changed, never will. This university uses its finances to build/purchase/change unnecessary things. What was wrong with the student union? Why would you eliminate study space? The Student Union was perfectly fine and there were plenty of places to study, with tables. Now, this "fancy" Student Union is filled with chairs and what feels like four tables. Where can I spread out my notes and books in order to study? Am I supposed to study in my own lap? Inconvenient to say the least. Fix Willard Hall. That building is a mess. The bathrooms are disgusting and in need of renovation. That is where the monetary resources should have been allocated, that and parking. Another real tangible change, that will never happen, more parking lots being built. As a student that drives 30 minutes one way, I have to fight to find parking. I pay well over $100 and still find myself having to pull a parking ticket because the parking lots are either full or the parking garage is full. Not everyone has the luxury of walking from their home to campus. Parking is beyond frustrating. The ratio of parking per permit type is not accurate. This campus should have built another parking garage or another parking lot instead of building another unnecessary sidewalk. BUILD ANOTHER PARKING GARAGE OR PARKING LOT KSU! Last thing, the library. The library is absolute breath taking and is a pure gem on this campus. The library usually has enough space to hold everyone and houses plenty of study space. That being said, the library is a library. Why should any talking at a normal decibel be allowed. A library is not a "chill spot to hang, fam." The library is and should be a place for scholarly activities. The Student Union is the perfect place to talk. Talk at the union not the library. The whole library should consist of quiet zones, not just one floor that fills up in minutes. The only reason that this campus gets two stars is because some of the professors are excellent. Not all. A large majority of the professors, while not usually approachable, have a clear cut passion for the subject matter and teach in a passionate way.
