Exercise in a Snap

Snap Fitness is the latest health addition to the community. But what sets it apart from Pullman’s primary workout solution, the WSU Student Rec Center?

Snap’s biggest advantage is that it’s open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year – it’s NEVER closed. This is especially convenient for those with busy lifestyles and who enjoy a late-night exercise.

Mia Swartwood, WSU senior movement studies major, jumped at the opportunity to get a membership with Snap. “I can go workout whenever I feel like it and it’s never too crowded; I don’t have to wait in line to use a machine.”

Unlike the Rec Center, there’s always open equipment and waiting in line to use a specific machine is not an occurrence at Snap Fitness. “Even though I automatically have to pay for the Rec Center in my tuition, I would still rather use Snap Fitness because the Rec is so overly crowded,” says Swartwood.

Snap’s location is another feature that attracts members. Located on Grand Street, people can quickly get there from any direction of Pullman. Plus, parking is free and no campus permits are required.

Not only do these features attract students, but Pullman residents as well. While it is true that anyone can purchase access to the Rec Center, not everyone wants to exercise with students. Phyllis Gooden-Young, WSU professor, enjoys the company of people her own age while working out. “I find that people here [at Snap Fitness] are more encouraging about being healthy, rather than just trying to looking good, which is why a lot of students use gyms,” says Gooden-Young.
