Cary Street Recreation Complex

[swimmer]

The renovated and expanded Cary Street Recreation Complex has opened. Great for the students, faculty and VCU as a whole. Wish they had something like that when I went to school. Some really cool ammenties.

it is truley amazing. all the basketball hoops have shot clocks, i thought that was a nice touch. and gotta love the black and gold excercise equipment. but why does a gym have elevators? i think that defeats the purpose of going to a gym.

Probably for paraplegics who want to exercise, but can't use the stairs. . .

i was narrow minded on that one.

All is forgiven for ram fans

Yes, Pav cited the common sense answer. There's also the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Cary Street Gym is a public use building and therefore must be accessible to those with disabilities.

what i meant to say was that there were people who were able to walk that were using the elevator and i thought that defeated the purpose of going to the gym

I have major breathing problems. Steps and hills cause me lots of problems. Sometimes I use the elevator at the Short Pump American Family Fitness so that I am not out of breath when I use the equipment. Most of the time I don't show the effects of my breathing problem.
