Kansas State University

Great visit. While the lovely tour Guide gave me a headache from speaking a million miles a minute, she was informative. The students and director in the food science department couldn’t have been more passionate and informative about MY personal path and options best for ME! Top notch treatment! I’ll be attending online to avoid out of state fees. Beautiful campus though.

The K-​State Recreation Center is a beautiful complex on the northwest side of campus. It has parking reserved at all times for any KSU permit holder except on football game days when those spots are rented out. The Rec Center has its share of weight and cardio machines, free weights, nice locker rooms, and dual entrances.
It also has a combatives room, four studios for classes, a private gym for personal training, a rock climbing wall, outdoor equipment rental, a challenge course for leadership development and group bonding, a smoothie café, 2 tracks, plenty of courts — pretty much anything one needs to work out.
I have been trying out the different classes, getting a feel for the different offerings. Everyone teaching courses is certified in the course area. There are courses focusing on mind & body, cycling, aerobics, cardio, abs — so many options. There are even aquatics-​based courses. However, to be a member of the gym for non-​students costs one amount, but joining the natatorium has another fee. I have the gym-​only membership.
Thus far, I have taken all-​levels yoga, yogalates, PiYo, and Zumba. The classes are all challenging and intense, and garner a good amount of attendees regardless of the day of the week. There are even classes on weekends. I plan to try as many as I can to vary my work out. To bring a guest only costs $ 5, so I can have Eric R. join me when he wants to use the gym instead of the local trails. The hours are really good as the center is open most of the day every day.
