What’s Up With the Overcrowded Plex

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

Anyone (nearly everyone at BC) who has been to the plex since returning from break has noticed the absurd amount of people at all times of the day overcrowding the gym. Honestly, the line to get on a treadmill looks like the salad line in Eagles Nest.

 

For all you newcomers trying to make your New Year’s Resolution to go to the gym more, here’s a few things you should know about overcrowding the Plex:

 

  1. When there’s a line for the treadmill, you are (respectably) only supposed to use yours for thirty minutes.

 

2.) And while you are waiting for a treadmill, don’t stare into people’s souls forcing them to get off. They probably waited as long as you did.

 

3.) If you are trying to stretch out or do an ab workout on the mats, please respect people’s personal space and don’t sit an inch away from one another. We get that it’s crowded, but everyone still wants to get a good workout.

 

4.) Don’t walk the track to have a deep conversation with your friend, there are people trying to get a good run in.

 

All said and done, we can all only hope that those who started coming to the plex as a part of a “New Year’s Resolution” realize that their resolution won’t last more than a month.
