24 Facilities Help Keep Co-Eds Fit Staying in shape was important to many students, and there was no short- age of places to work out in the Gaines- ville area, either on and or off campus. The O'Connell Center was a popular gathering place for fitness-minded stu- dents, staff and faculty. Among the many facilities located there, there was a track, a 100 meter swimming pool and two weight rooms. One of the weight rooms contained Nautilus equipment and offered both co-ed and women's hours. Free weights and Universal equipment were located in the other weight room, which had co-ed hours only. There was no cost to use the O'Con- nell Center facilities, and the pool, weight rooms and track were open sev- en days a week. . I work out at the O'Connell Center because its free, on campus and they have a variety of equipment there, said Darren Harrell, 2UF. For those who chose jogging to stay in shape, a track was also located on campus near the baseball field. Aerobics was a favorite form of exer- cise among many, and some residence hall areas provided aerobic classes for those interested in participating. Some students Chose to frequent the several health clubs located in Gaines- ville to keep in shape. Two health clubs that were popular with students were the Gainesville Health and Fitness Cen- ter and Let's Get Physical. These fitness clubs provided their members with Nautilus equipment, aerobic classes and various other facilities. Other favorite ways to keep fit in- cluded playing raquetball and tennis. Courts for playing these games were located on campus as well as many apartment complexes. Students enjoyed many forms of work-outs to keep in shape and exer- cise facilities were often crowded with people working toward their fitness goals. - by Deanna Scruner Keeping Fit 1i E.
