I ama member of the Carlisle YMCA and both gyms on the Barricks, and have access to the Dickinson Kline Center. I work out 5/6 days a week, which means I have a decent amount of experience between my four options. All of the gyms have their bennifits, Indian Feild is small and usually unpopulated, Gym Thorpehas more open space for sprints/explosive movements, the Kline Center is clean and has excellent equipment, and the Y is simply where I started working out, my foundational gym and favorite by default. Although I have my preferences, I usually end up going to the most convenient or closest one to wherever I am. That means I usually go to the Y or Kline Center during weekdays after school, and Gym Thorpe on the weekends. You meet a lot of interesting people at all locations, and it’s a good way to stay fit and work off some stress, which is why I find working out so enjoyable.
