For my twenty min observation I choose War Memorial Gym. As I stepped foot into the gym the first thing I noticed was that is was defiantly and older gym and had been around for years. War Memorial is a huge building filled with classrooms and a pool just to name a few, but the particular area of the gym I choose to explore was the cardio room. In order to enter into the workout area they have to swipe your hokiepassport and then you can proceed. As I walked into the cardio room I could see it was filled with ellipticals and treadmills and bikes all of them were different styles. The also had about six televisions that were turned on so that as people exercised they could watch ESPN or the news. When I went to the gym almost every machine was being used not just by college students but by older adults as well. As I explored the medium sized room I noticed they had lots of magazines for people to read while they worked out. They also had a few signs posted around the gym area saying, Please be courteous to others and only occupy a machine for 40 minutes and please clean off your machines after your workout. Overall observing the gym was a very interesting experience and from just being there for 20 minutes I was able notice a lot of small details that normally when I workout there I would not notice.
