This is in rebuttal of the article that appeared regarding the Richmond Fitness Center. I am a staff member and have been using the center for about 2 years. The exercise machines are plentiful and if for some reason break down, within a week or so they are up and running. The staff has made the facility very user-friendly. You can call ahead and reserve a machine with a limit of 30 minutes. On one side you have the fitness machines, and on the other side you have weight equipment. I think the person who wrote this is mistaken. If you cannot find a machine to work a muscle group you are interested in, you are either not looking correctly or you are not looking at what is available and reading the short instructions that are on each and every piece of weight equipment. Or, ask a staff member. This exercise room does not try or intend to compete with Alumni Arena's Fitness Center. This satellite exercise room is a nice addition for students and staff to keep and stay fit.
