The Leach vs Health and Wellness, which do you prefer?

Let’s work it out

We all know that at FSU, Leach is the gym for the guys and gals who aren’t afraid to show off, while Health & Wellness is for people looking for a laid back workout experience. Some people haven’t even heard of or been to one of the two gyms, because they’re so dedicated to the one they like. We also know that people will debate about which gym is better until they graduate, which is why we’ve asked some of FSU’s students to tell us which gym they prefer, to put an end to the debate.

Kaitlyn, Sophomore, Business

Do you prefer Leach or Health & Wellness? I actually prefer the Leach.

Why do you prefer the Leach? I prefer it because it has more machines and the indoor track which I like because I am a runner. I also like how there are a lot more mats to stretch or do ab workouts on and how they offer a variety of exercise classes there!

What’s your go to workout? Usually when I workout I’ll go on the elliptical or treadmill and then I’ll stretch. Then I’ll do abs and weights.

Gabby, Freshman, Speech Pathology

Do you prefer Leach or Health & Wellness? I prefer the Health & Wellness Center.

Why do you prefer Health & Wellness? I prefer it because there’s typically not that many people in there and it’s smaller. I’m used to smaller gyms.

What’s your go to workout? When I workout, I usually do 2-3 miles on the elliptical, some abs and some weights.

Hunter, Senior, Risk Management

Do you prefer Leach or Health & Wellness? I prefer Leach.

Why do you prefer the Leach? There’s a lot more equipment at
Leach.

What’s your go to workout? I usually use various free weights and machines. And I sometimes run on the track.

Kristen, Freshman, Political Science

Do you prefer Leach or Health & Wellness? Leach!

Why do you prefer the Leach? It’s closer to my dorm and has a variety of machines— which means there are more options for when it’s busy.

What’s your go to workout? I like to do cardio like on the treadmill or stationary bike. And then do a circuit of some of the machines. We’ll finish it with stretching, crunches and squats.

Jay, Junior, Finance and Entrepreneurship

Do you prefer Leach or Health & Wellness? The Leach.
Why do you prefer the Leach? I’ve never been to the other gym.

What’s your go to workout? I usually do cardio in the morning and lifting like free weights later in the day.

I think it’s safe to say that we’ll find more guys at Leach due to the variety of weights that can be found there. Meanwhile, Health & Wellness Center seems to be known as the smaller gym and not as well known– probably because it’s newer. But regardless of where you decide to go, both gyms are great and you’re guaranteed a great workout.
