Snapdad is correct. We do have access to the full size university gym at the downtown Drexel campus. Furthermore, we also have access to several YMCA's (at least the last time I've gone there we did) including the huge center city YMCA. At first the medical school campus gym may seem small, but once you use it you'll notice that everything is there. Several free weights with plenty of 45's, 35's, 25's, 10's, 5's, and 2 1/2's for the bench and leg press machine. Also, dumbells that go to 100 lbs. - that should be enough (however, there are some of us who bench 100 lbs in each hand). Two treadmills, four free-standing benches, an elliptical machine, two stair climbers, two bicycles, two showers, bose speakers for the sound system, and a universal machine with plenty of everything else. Also, how many other medical schools have their very own gym located right next to the lecture halls. You go to class, have a one hour break where you go lift, and then go back to class. You don't have to drive somewhere. There aren't going to be 300 lb men benching 350 around you- only other medical students. The gym will be open 24 hrs soon. By the way, they will not be transferring the gym to the new location. Also, by the time you get to second year, unless you have a photographic memory, you will be studying your a** off and will be very happy to have your gym in the med school and not off some place where you have to worry about parking and driving to!
