Free Gym

I haven't been able to join a gym because I am broke.  I've been riding my bike when the weather allows but other then that I haven't had any structured exercise.  Today I had to go to my school for a meeting and I saw a sign for a free gym for students.  I take my classes online but I can still use the exercise equipment.  It is for limited hours but I am just so glad to find this out.  I went today and managed to do 20 minutes, 10 minutes on the stationary bike, 5 on the rowing machine and 5 on the treadmill.  That may not sound like  a lot but it's a lot more then I have been able to do before.
Tomorrow I am going to take my MP3 player and hopefully to able to spend more time on the equipment.  I'm going to stick with the machines I used today for a bit before I venture onto the weights.  There is even a guy there that can show me how to use the equipment and the best way to exercise.
What was also nice is that I was the only person there besides the guy who works there.  It's a very small room and it was nice not to have to worry about the equipment not being available.
I still plan on riding my bike but it's nice to know there is an option for days when the weather is too bad to ride in.
 

That is a GREAT find! 

 Also when you are no longer a student-sometimes the Y have memberships for people who can't afford it.
I'm glad you found a gym. Enjoy the machines!

There isn't a Y nearby but I live close to a community center with a really nice pool and weight room.  They also have reduced rates available but I couldn't even afford that.  I am just in a bad place where I can barely spare a dollar for non essentials.  Hopefully I'll be able to find a job soon and I can start going there.

 Isn't that sad? Our local community center has some free memberships for folks who can't afford to go. They also have some free classes during the month.
I find the pool nice. I haven't been able to get back in since surgery but I'm looking forward to going back. I like swimming laps and deep water aerobics. I go during senior time and even though I don't technically qualify..they let me in!

I took some senior water aerobic classes not too long ago.  I do quality for them, though, but that's OK, it wasn't too intimidating.
I think the membership would be about $20 a month.  Too much right now but maybe in the future I can afford it.

 Omg! Your post reminded me that...DUH I am a student at a university...that has a GYM, that I can use for FREE!

Hello! Guess who is going to be making their Fall schedule around 'gym time'!!!
 
Thank YOU! lol

AND Congrats on finding out that info for yourself! 

I'm glad I could help you.  I was always jealous of people who had a gym available to them through work or their apartment complex.  I'm glad that I have one available to me, too.

 i wish my school had a gym! me and a friend got one of the gyms near school to give us a deal since we're students but it's still expensive. when it's up at the end of the month i'm not sure what i'm going to do. there's a ballys near me that's cheaper but its not that nice, especially now that i've been spoiled. 

Have you checked with your school to be sure?  I had no idea until I happened to see that on the bulletin board.  The only problem is that it's only open from 1:00 pm to 2:00pm and some days 5:00pm to 6:00pm and on Friday and Saturday it's 10:00am to 11:00am, so not a lot of time to go.  I take my daughter to school on Tuesdays at 2:00 so that will work out.  She goes on Thursday, too, but the gym is closed then so I need to figure out a way to go another couple of days a week.
