With
the start of a new school year comes classes,
exams, a lack of sleep and of course, stress.
Making time to exercise can be a great way
to reduce stress and stay healthy. Frog’s
Club One, located in The Pyramid, is a full
service health club geared toward those
interested in a fun variety of workouts,
according to General Manager Anthony Macaluso.
 With
free weights, group exercise classes, personal
training and a cardio center, there is something
for everyone, regardless of age or fitness
level.
It’s not the equipment that sets Club One
apart from other health clubs, but the atmosphere
and the people, Macaluso said.
“We have really high customer service,”
he said. “We know you by your name and you’re
not just another member.”
Monthly and semester memberships are available
for anyone interested. Many activities are
available to members, including yoga, step
classes, aqua workouts and stationary cycling
or “spinning.”
Personal training is also offered at an
additional cost.
For students who commute to school and have
some time between classes, a quick workout
can be a perfect way to spend the time.
“It’s more convenient [than other gyms]
because it is right on campus,” junior biology
major Megan Head said.
A member since the beginning of summer,
Head said she plans to keep coming through
the fall semester.
According to Head, advantages of a membership
include unlimited use of the pool, shampoo,
conditioner and lotion provided in the showers,
and “getting to see lots of cute guys.”
Benefits for male members include a variety
of equipment for all ability levels and
trainers on hand for assistance.
“Compared to other gyms, Frog’s is really
clean and the people are very friendly,”
said Jonathan Sury, a junior biology major.
“It’s never overcrowded and there is always
enough room for everyone.”
After hearing about the health club from
a friend, Sury said the one thing he likes
best is that they provide towels for all
members during each visit.
As a privately owned business, Club One
is available to students, staff and the
local community seven days a week.
During the school year, 50 percent of members
are students, while 40 percent of members
are students while school is out, Macaluso
said.
Frog’s is open Monday through Friday from
5 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and from 7 a.m. to
8 p.m. on the weekends.
