There are a few meat-heads who make a lot of noise (almost yelling) when working out, as well as a few disabled and elderly lifters who put the rest of us to shame in terms of fitness and determination. The UCDFD also comes in sometimes.<br> + <br> + I think it's funny that they kick you out if you're wearing jeans (maybe someone had an hour to kill between classes and forgot his shorts....) or any sort of cargo apparel. The martial arts and fitness classes are challenging and fun, although I think they should be covered under our increasingly-exorbitant student fees. It's also a bummer that returning Fall students not taking summer classes do not enjoy summer access.<br> + <br> + The pavilion, while under construction at the moment, is an underrated workout zone (the cement bleacher steps are perfect for cardio workouts). Among all the pros and cons, the one thing I truly despise about the ARC community: fitness room cellphone users. --["Users/Fritzy"]</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Activities and Recreation Centerhttp://daviswiki.org/Activities_and_Recreation_Center2009-09-23 13:33:38hankim(quick edit) <div id="content" class="wikipage content"> Differences for Activities and Recreation Center<p><strong></strong></p><table> <tr> <td> <span> Deletions are marked with - . </span> </td> <td> <span> Additions are marked with +. </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Line 211: </td> <td> Line 211: </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <span>+ <br> + * As a gym junkie, the ARC in terms of quality is as nice as a 24 Hour Fitness Sport center which also charges around 300 dollars a year depending on whether you get a deal or not. If the ARC needs to be subsidized then someone is doing something wrong. There are about 25,000 guaranteed customers to the ARC each year (whether they use it or not), so when there is not much competition around, you could probably guess why. Do not get me wrong, I love the ARC but if the school did not force everyone to use the ARC, there might be more gyms around Davis that are cheaper. There is one I went to back in Campbell that charged $15 to $20 a month and it had plenty of cardio machines, weights, and televisions and that was more than adequate enough for me.

The reason it's a world-class gym (And believe me, I've visited others in Davis and they don't really compare.) is because it's subsidized by student fees and local spouses like me who pay full price. This is the "same" reason why this argument doesn't work when it comes to public schools. People without children always argue that their property taxes are paying for a service they never use. However, there are several problems with this, two of which I'll list: 1., No one uses "every" public service. Chances are you enjoy a service on campus that someone else is paying for and never uses. 2., While perhaps you never use the service, it improves the lives of people in such a way that you end up benefiting anyway. For example, in the case of public schools, you are paying to educate the children "in your neighborhood," which ultimately improves the neighborhood. In the case of the gym, healthier people depend less on the health care system, keeping costs lower for everyone else. On a side note, I completely agree that the ARC gets way too crowded. The only solution I've found is attending at non-peek hours, which seem to be anytime in the A.M. It's an absolute zoo anywhere from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. BTW: I tried a couple other gyms before I signed up at the ARC and they also have problems with crowds at peak hours. --["Users/condemned2bfree"]</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Activities and Recreation Centerhttp://daviswiki.org/Activities_and_Recreation_Center2009-04-12 15:53:13bg-33p <div id="content" class="wikipage content"> Differences for Activities and Recreation Center<p><strong></strong></p><table> <tr> <td> <span> Deletions are marked with - . </span> </td> <td> <span> Additions are marked with +. </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Line 204: </td> <td> Line 204: </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <span>+ No there is not.</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Activities and Recreation Centerhttp://daviswiki.org/Activities_and_Recreation_Center2009-04-12 15:51:08bg-33pComment added. <div id="content" class="wikipage content"> Differences for Activities and Recreation Center<p><strong></strong></p><table> <tr> <td> <span> Deletions are marked with - . </span> </td> <td> <span> Additions are marked with +. </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Line 207: </td> <td> Line 207: </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <span>+ ------<br> + ''2009-04-12 16:51:08'' [[nbsp]] I am sure every/most students are aware that the ARC isn't technically "free" and that it is an included cost in our tuition.

Quarterly fees are determined by the UCD-based advisory committee, which includes student representatives. There is a slight increase in campus-based fees for next year, a portion of which will be going toward the ARC. Any increase in cost of services is not related to the state budget crisis, but likely has more to do with the increasing cost of labor or energy. Charging for towels seems reasonable.

State funded universities are often a target of fiscal cutbacks. One reason may be that the rate of voter participation among the age group that comprises the vast majority of college age students is extremely low. A legislator or governor has little to risk by reducing your funding if you won't go out and vote for their opponent (or for them) no matter what they do. You can help to change this by getting out and voting in future elections.<br> + <br> + As for the current crisis, many states based their budgets on the assumption that they would get an unusually high income through property taxes, as a result of the housing bubble. They spent based on current income levels, and failed to save money for economic downturns, such as the current one. As a result, when a dropoff in sources of tax revenue occurred, they suddenly had no money. You are feeling the result of that. If you want to change this, support candidates who promote fiscally responsible spending in the legislature of whatever state you vote in. That applies to the country too - spending trillions of dollars on wars that don't contribute much to the economy without a corresponding increase in tax revenue has put the economy into terrible shape and devalued the dollar. (That means that you can't buy as many towels for your dollar.) If you don't like the current situation, vote for candidates who are unlikely to spend excessively without increasing taxes to fund their spending. The two always go together. Spending and income must match, or you run into trouble.<br> + <br> + And remember...never go anywhere without your towel. --["Users/IDoNotExist"]</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Activities and Recreation Centerhttp://daviswiki.org/Activities_and_Recreation_Center2008-06-10 15:31:40ArcloverComment added. <div id="content" class="wikipage content"> Differences for Activities and Recreation Center<p><strong></strong></p><table> <tr> <td> <span> Deletions are marked with - . </span> </td> <td> <span> Additions are marked with +. </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Line 171: </td> <td> Line 171: </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <span>+ ------<br> + ''2008-06-10 16:31:40'' [[nbsp]] Anyone else have something intelligent to say about this?

First, this is an outrageous charge: the ARC website boasts that: "An ARC annual membership provides access to the premier fitness facility in the region for less than $1 per day." For someone who makes use of the facility and the showers 5-6 days a week, the towel fee has just doubled the potential cost of my membership! This is ridiculous! (Especially considering the towels are essentially sand paper!) For what, some non-existent outrageous increase in the cost of laundry detergent?

I purchased a locker for two quarters when approaching the end of the first quarter I checked *on a whim* to see if they kept their records straight (since they've screwed my locker before). Not surprisingly, I had a reservation for all of winter quarter, and a separate reservation for January 1 - January 1. That was supposed to be my second quarter. I spoke to someone about what to do about it since they "did not have the power to rent out the locker because it was already claimed in the system" and told me to come back during spring break to re-reserve it for another quarter (after I made sure no one would clean it out before that). I came back on March 26th to find out the locker expired on the 16th and that they rented it TOO SOMEONE ELSE on the 17th! They gave out my locker's combo to someone else with my clothes, shoes, and equipment. Their solution? Make me wait an hour, prove my stuff was the stuff in the locker, and then move me.<br> + <br> + Not to mention: after reserving a racquetball court a week later, I showed up to find that someone upstairs made a "clinical error" and accidentally reserved basketball court 4 instead of racquetball court 4 for the sports club.

They could totally be going through a toning phase in their training.<br> + <br> + Overall, I do agree that the Arc weight-room is somewhat of an unfriendly place for beginners...this should change... --["Users/phicoi"]</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Activities and Recreation Centerhttp://daviswiki.org/Activities_and_Recreation_Center2008-02-24 21:13:13MaxJlinked the ARC climbing wall photo caption <div id="content" class="wikipage content"> Differences for Activities and Recreation Center<p><strong></strong></p><table> <tr> <td> <span> Deletions are marked with - . </span> </td> <td> <span> Additions are marked with +. </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Line 31: </td> <td> Line 31: </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <span>-</span> [[Image(ARC_climbingWall.jpg, "ARC <span>c</span>limbing <span>w</span>all during ["Cow Crank"] 2005", 360, right, thumbnail)]] </td> <td> <span>+</span> [[Image(ARC_climbingWall.jpg, "<span>["</span>ARC <span>C</span>limbing <span>W</span>all<span>"]</span> during ["Cow Crank"] 2005", 360, right, thumbnail)]] </td> </tr> </table> </div> Activities and Recreation Centerhttp://daviswiki.org/Activities_and_Recreation_Center2008-02-24 18:11:38fredchen(quick edit) <div id="content" class="wikipage content"> Differences for Activities and Recreation Center<p><strong></strong></p><table> <tr> <td> <span> Deletions are marked with - . </span> </td> <td> <span> Additions are marked with +. </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Line 122: </td> <td> Line 122: </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <span>+ <br> + agreed. it's like nobody knows any gym etiquette--["Users/FredChen"]</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Activities and Recreation Centerhttp://daviswiki.org/Activities_and_Recreation_Center2008-02-24 18:08:16fredchen(quick edit) <div id="content" class="wikipage content"> Differences for Activities and Recreation Center<p><strong></strong></p><table> <tr> <td> <span> Deletions are marked with - . </span> </td> <td> <span> Additions are marked with +. </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Line 119: </td> <td> Line 119: </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <span>-</span> <span>*</span>people keep throwing down dumbbells --["Users/FredChen"] </td> <td> <span>+</span> <span>&nbsp;</span>people keep throwing down dumbbells --["Users/FredChen"] </td> </tr> </table> </div> Activities and Recreation Centerhttp://daviswiki.org/Activities_and_Recreation_Center2008-02-24 18:08:00fredchen(quick edit) <div id="content" class="wikipage content"> Differences for Activities and Recreation Center<p><strong></strong></p><table> <tr> <td> <span> Deletions are marked with - . </span> </td> <td> <span> Additions are marked with +. </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Line 118: </td> <td> Line 118: </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <span>+ </span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Activities and Recreation Centerhttp://daviswiki.org/Activities_and_Recreation_Center2008-02-24 18:07:45fredchen(quick edit) <div id="content" class="wikipage content"> Differences for Activities and Recreation Center<p><strong></strong></p><table> <tr> <td> <span> Deletions are marked with - . </span> </td> <td> <span> Additions are marked with +. </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Line 118: </td> <td> Line 118: </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <span>+ *people keep throwing down dumbbells --["Users/FredChen"]</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Activities and Recreation Centerhttp://daviswiki.org/Activities_and_Recreation_Center2008-02-18 18:22:01AlexPerkinsComment added. <div id="content" class="wikipage content"> Differences for Activities and Recreation Center<p><strong></strong></p><table> <tr> <td> <span> Deletions are marked with - . </span> </td> <td> <span> Additions are marked with +. </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Line 118: </td> <td> Line 118: </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <span>+ ------<br> + ''2008-02-18 18:22:01'' [[nbsp]] My biggest complaint about the ARC are all the retards that don't rerack their weights.

For a room drenched in the smell of sweat and feet, it sure is jam packed with gangs of 90 lb asian kids trying to bench the bar and giggling.

I felt so much better when i was back in my hometown gym. --["Users/fredchen"]</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Activities and Recreation Centerhttp://daviswiki.org/Activities_and_Recreation_Center2007-06-16 23:47:00JesseSinghSummer Hours begin on June 18th <div id="content" class="wikipage content"> Differences for Activities and Recreation Center<p><strong></strong></p><table> <tr> <td> <span> Deletions are marked with - . </span> </td> <td> <span> Additions are marked with +. </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Line 14: </td> <td> Line 14: </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <span>-</span> ||&lt;bgcolor='#E0E0FF'&gt;'''Summer Hours (begin June <span>20</span>)'''|| </td> <td> <span>+</span> ||&lt;bgcolor='#E0E0FF'&gt;'''Summer Hours (begin June <span>18</span>)'''|| </td> </tr> </table> </div> Activities and Recreation Centerhttp://daviswiki.org/Activities_and_Recreation_Center2007-06-03 20:11:36MarjaMorganComment added. <div id="content" class="wikipage content"> Differences for Activities and Recreation Center<p><strong></strong></p><table> <tr> <td> <span> Deletions are marked with - . </span> </td> <td> <span> Additions are marked with +. </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Line 92: </td> <td> Line 92: </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <span>+ ------<br> + ''2007-06-03 21:11:36'' [[nbsp]] The classes are so fun!
