[u/lizzygrant0065]

I ve recently started my program at UPENN. Yesterday I went to penngym at 10pm it was pretty packed😭 American gym equipment look really intimidating and also lots of people being there made me anxious ashell (plus, I need to convert lbs to kgs each time) Based on y’alls experience when is the less crowded /quietest time at penn gym? weightlifting area particularly

6am-8am. After 8 it starts getting crowded

OT - I graduated in 1994. The “Penn Gym” was a basketball court plus a weight room with a vomit bucket.

I guess those 8% annual tuition increases had to go to something.

gym is usually busy at all hours of the day when a new semester starts. Typically though, I would say the gym is least busy super early in the morning, during classes (like 11am - 3pm ish), or really late at night past 10pm.

First of all it’s called pottruck, do people call it penngym now?

People aren’t looking at you, and you can and should always ask to work in.

After the first few weeks, it will get a lot less crowded. But optimal times will be anytime before 5p

Nope it’s definitely still pottruck
