Tresidder Fitness

This is my spot! love how its always slow here and I can get my work out its fast! Please don’t close Tressider!!!

This is a fantastic alternative to the giant gym (Arrillaga). It’s conveniently located and small, almost always less crowded. The people who check you in are really friendly, always saying hello and goodbye. It has everything you need, if not everything you could want, and it’s possible that the machine you want will be in use, since there aren’t very many of them to begin with. It’s also a little strange to be encased in the clear glass walls so everyone else can look at you struggling and sweating on the one treadmill that creaks weirdly. But I love coming here, especially midday… Somehow it’s so much easier to motivate myself to get here than all the way to Arrillaga!

I’ve been coming ot this gym for a few years now. I like to go to at around 1p when the jocks are gone LOL. The later you go the less crowded it will be. I like to work out when there aren’t many people around, it just makes it more peaceful for me. I also don’t like to fight over machines or like to wait till one clears up, so this time just works for me!
This gym is smaller than Arriaga, but it really has everything I need to get a good work out. I’ve been to the bigger gyms on campus and for me I am not comfortable at those, not only are there sign in sheets to use equipment but there are so many fit people there that it makes you feel uncomfortable if you are not that that fitness level yet. At Tressider Fitness the staff is very friendly and help you when you don’t know what to do with a machine. Don’t feel shy to ask… The gym is kept very clean and it is not musty (I hate when you walk in a gym and all you smell is bad odors) not here thank God! The location is perfect because when I am done with my workout there are several food stations that I can visit to get a nice healthy lunch :) All in all, I love this place!

If you live on West Campus @ Stanford, it’s not even worth it to bike all the way to Arrillaga Gym, especially in the rain. Everything you need (minus the fancy wall posters and miscellaneous equipment) is right here at Tresidder.
It’s definitely much smaller than the central gym, but there are enough weights, ellipticals (3), treadmills (3), bikes (5), etc. to go around.
