UK's workout Vibe

In 2003 the John Recreation Center, named after the Bernard M. Johnson (1969-1982) the old Recreation Director, was complete. The JC allows all UK and BCTC students and staff with ID to use the facility and they have something for everyone. In the JC there is a Four–lane elevated jogging track, Fitness/conditioning center, Group fitness studio, and a Cycling studio along with many other things to meet the needs of everyone that enters. JC open Monday thought Friday 6am to midnight and noon to four on Saturday and Sunday so everyone is able to find a time and go. More information on the JC is located on http://www.uky.edu/studentaffairs/CampusRec, this site is titled Campus Recreation and is not run by the university but is written by The University of Kentucky Student Affairs. Also in this site you’re able to see group fitness class times. 
 But the problem comes from the large amount of students in the JC. As a former athlete the average time spent in the gym should be 45 minutes to an hour in a half, at JC you might spend 10 to 20 minutes waiting to use the equipment. About 10 thousand more student go to UK and BCTC then in 2003. Hopefully many people stop going all at the same time so the overcrowding problem will come to an end because building on to the JC or a new JC would cost so much more money. The JC adds a strong good positive vibe to UK’s campus.
