NTU student Gym...WoW

Today I went to the gym for the second time. All I can say is wow this place is huge. I was unable to take pictures of all the floors but in regards to student associated areas I will describe what there is. (This place even has 2 floors of indoor parking) Sorry about the crappy iphone pictures, but I didn't want to make people nervous taking pictures with a real camera.

So this is the Gym as I have said earlier it's huge ... no duh

This is the free weight area, what's somewhat disappointing is that there is only one bench press.
I did nit get a good picture of the cardio area, but least to say it has more then 30 thread mills, stationary cycles, elliptical machines etc.

This is the entrance into the swimming pool (mens locker room) ample space for everyone.

The shower area.
I am assuming this is a some sort of sanitary solution to soak the feet before entering the swimming pool. (I can totally be wrong about this though.
This is the swimming pool, a full 50 ft length pool but unfortunately it's only 4 feet deep end to end. There are two life guards at all times during pool hours.


There are five racket ball (squash ball ) courts.
This I would say is the forest gump of all ping pong of all training rooms. I imagine that China have bigger. I have never seen a room so big for a specific sport.
On the second floor is the extremely big volley ball/basket ball court room. But to my surprise it has been turned into a computer over clocking expo/contest.
Here is the map that show's where all the participating teams have come from for this event.
This is the ground floor of all the competing teams. It seems like I arrived right after the actual competition. Every team was dismantling their computers.

Yes that's a canister of liquid nitrogen, a standard tool for over clocking events now.



And of course the main sponsor of this even is MSI, and a pair of MSI girls .


Behind the scene I found all the liquid nitrogen used for the competition. I'm sure they did not use all canisters.
The other sponsor of course is Intel promoting their chipsets and CPU's.

For those inquisitive on how much it cost to be a 1 year member at this student gym. I paid a total of NT $2504.00 ~ $78.25 USD. FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR, and I can go as many times as I like. They also have cheaper rates that allow you one entrance per day to use the gym or the swimming pool.
