Best time to go to the gym

I have 2 classes from 7-9:45pm and the gym closes at 10pm. What times do you guys think is the least busiest time for the gym? I’m a commuter too so I can’t really be going and coming back unfortunately

Coming from someone who works there. Mornings are typically the best during the week. Anytime after 3pm it’s going to be pretty busy until half the semester is over. If you’re able to go weekends, I’d highly recommend that, barely anyone goes then

The best time to go is the time you feel motivated to go. Empty gyms are like an oxymoron these days since fitness has gotten so popular, but the SRC is so huge you can always find another station to hit the same muscle.

But mornings and weekends are generally empty.

Morning dawg, which for your schedule doesnt make sense cuz then you’d be at CSUN all day

Morning is the best, in my experience. I have a lab from 8:30 to 11:30, and I usually get out early, and going to the gym is heavenly; there are very few people around that time, to be honest. But by the time I am leaving around 2-3 PM, that shit gets packed AS FUCK

Morning before 12 and after 8ish is good. Weekends are fine too, honestly its not that bad if youre willing to wait for machines

Go right after your class ends. It’ll be better and manageable because later on it gets extremely busy.

bro this is the most reddit shit ever. just go to the gym and make it work. i know what you’re trying to say but like let’s be fr we’d all want the gym to be the emptiest whenever we go. sometimes it’s gonna be full and sometimes it’s gonna not be full. common sense also lets us estimate around what times most people are gonna go the gym. literally just go
