Is it worth going to Mcmaster gym?
I would like to join a gym. Mcmaster sounds awesome in terms of the price. 50 dollars a semester is GREAT! however I heard it can get really busy there? Any opinions? if it gets really busy I might consider going to good life!

It's actually $63/sem or $118/2 sems (tax already included). Unless they changed it this year.

Yeah I think it's worth it, it really depends what time you like to go to the gym though. Weekends/early mornings/late nights are less busy and in the summer it's not busy.

It's a really good deal. Of all the gyms I've visited, the Mac gym is by far my favourite equipment-wise.

the equipment is pretty good and plentiful.
the fitness classes are pretty good and free/drop-in.

It's an awesome gym equipment wise, and it also gives you access to the climbing wall which is pretty cool. It can get real busy, but not to the point that you can't work out. So for the price i'd definitely say you should go for it

you have to find the perfect times to go at. early mornings aren't too busy and evenings are good too, its better if you're living on res becuase then you can go whenever and in between classes

It's worth it for sure! You will learn when is busy and when isn't. I'd say go for it!

Try to get a bud to go with you, otherwise you'll prolly get bored.. theres a lot of fit people there that will make you feel bad maybe too.
