gym? (1 Viewer)

[roger321]

is anyone a member of macq gym?
if so how is their weight room? whenever i go past all i see is chicks doing cardio heh. ;p

also as a member do u get access to the squash and bball courts for free? (when i first went to the gym i couldnt believe u had to pay something like 50 bucks for half an hour to use the bball courts o_0)

I used to be a member of the gym, mainly because it's cheaper than a lot of other places.

Weights room is alright, nothing too special. The main problem I had is that whenever I had free time to go the place was full, and I had to wait in line for machines and weights as wel. Bloody annoying. Now I can afford it I go to my local one.

Perving at chicks is good too, the talent that goes there isn't great but you do get the odd hottie walking in.

hahaha mmmm college chicks ;p

yeh but the reason im looking @ joining the uni gym is cause my timetable next semeter is fucked.. 5 days a week with big breaks =((

it would be pretty annoying waiting for the machines/weights.... it'll be a bit of a sausage fest aye? lol

Not really. There are a lot of chicks there, just I don't really rate too many of them.

Generally, what's the gym prices compared to normal gyms like? Must admit I've never enquired as to what 'normal' prices might be.... but I'm curious....

 

[redruM]

vary from about 50-60/month from what i have found out.

might want to try the rsl's. i think they might have cheaper prices.


btw skittled, had a question, can we take in typed sheet for our busl250 exam? or does it have to be written?

 

[bscienceboi]

There are local gyms that range from $50+

The most popular gym would be Fitness First. You can pay $50 per month on a no contract deal or $40 a month on a 1 year contract.

ye or u can get a 10 pass for 50 dollars if ur u go less than twice a week.

 

[roger321]

bugger... u still have to pay for the usage of the courts =((

it's also such a walk to the closest bball courts as well =(

 

[bscienceboi]

=T damn macq... charging us for everything - overdue book fines, overpriced crappy food =[ not even my local library fines..

The burgers make me sick. The sandwiches are so overpriced.

the only food i get from uni is either the chilly chicken roll from maxines (coffee place next to the drink store) or i make my own sandwich.. and the lolly shop closed down.. =[

 

[bscienceboi]

You can get lollies from the Newsagence.

Theres a chilli chicken roll ? The baguettes?

Also. where are the basketball courts!?

 

[roger321]

oh i so have to check the gym again.....
(ps love that icey cooled water machine in the gym..... beautiful!)


i have resorted to just bringing my own food into uni now... the only respectable thing was roast + chips at the cafe.... but then they took away the chicken salt and now theres nothing to hide the taste of shite gravy =((

 

[roger321]

there is like a bball court offcampus like maybe a 5 min walk from the gym.
keep walking up that road that gym is on, go straight at the roundabout and there should be a park. At the far end of the park is a bball court, and the good thing is ppl play there...

although i dont like it that much anymore cause i rolled my ankle (again) there like a week ago! =((
