What do I know about the gym at Bridgewater State University? It's a cold, downhill walk from hilltop Shea-Durgin freshmen dorms. The first time I went there was when I was still feverishly fighting my parents over whether or not I would be going to this place for the next four years. It was big, much bigger than the gym at my high school, and cleaner too. The exercise equipment was new, and there was a lot of it. Now that I actually go here I've been a few times with friends when the guilt of eating was too much to ignore. The routine would be the same; plug in my iPod and go on my machine and never make eye contact. With anyone.
Questions I have about this place are pretty simplistic; why do people come here? For sports? To lose weight? Health reasons? The cute boy in the weight room? I want to know what compels certain individuals to work out several hours each and every day. How do they keep going? Or not get bored? I just want to know why people can just go on for hours without stopping.
