A Visit to the Yale Gym

On July 15th, Sunny and I decided to go to the gym after class. The Yale gym is said to be the second largest gym in the world. Altogether, there are 9 floors in it. We first came to the lobby where there was a nice conservator who showed us two pamphlets. According to the pamphlets, the highest floor is where offices of those coaches and the administrators of the gym locate. So Sunny and I decided to go visiting the gym from the 8th floor. We took the elevator to the 8th floor where Gymnastics Studio should have been located. But it is a pity the studio is still under construction. So we came to the 7th floor where Fencing Salon should have been situated, but which is also under construction. Thus, we came down to the 6th floor a little bit disappointedly. Thus, we had to walk down to the 6th  floor. This time we saw a man lying on one mattress which was put on the wooden floor. From the girl who was about to go in we knew this is an exercise room where people do yoga or things like that. Later on, we came to the 5th floor, where some young men and young women were dancing beautiful in the Dance Studio. we also saw several courts on this floor, but no people played tennis there. Next, we came to the 4th floor where we saw a lot of young people coming in and out. We later found out that this floor is where Brady Squash Center and Fitness Center were located. No wonder some of them were running on the running machine,  some were practicing weightlifting, and others were practicing squash. Sunny and I even ran on the running machine for a short while. On the 3rd floor, we saw a Practice Pool where some people were swimming happily. Kiphuth Trophy room and Golf Center were on the 2nd floor where we saw a lot of pictures of those winners and their teams and also a lot of trophies being exhibited in the windows. After about 40 minutes visit, we finally came to the first floor, the lobby again. From the above observation, we can see the gym is really a fitness enthusiast's dream and an exercise fanatic's paradise.

The Brady Squash Center is on the 4th floor, and some young people are practicing squash. Honestly speaking, it is the first time for me to see such sports.

Sunny and I came to the Fitness Center where a lot of people were doing various kinds of sports. I couldn't help joining them and running slowly and carefully on the running machine.
