Gym Temperature

[Iain1974]

Does anyone know if there's a standard gym temperature?

I ask because our local gym is pretty warm inside. Like 75F of more (24C). This is about OK for lifting weights but for an hour of cardio the heat makes a difference. I feel drained if not outright queasy after hitting the elliptical for an hour.

Does anyone else notice their gym's temperature creeping up?

BTW - I live in Texas and air-temp is 90-95F(32-35C) in the afternoons and the gym AC can't seem to keep up. I dread July/August temperatures.

our gym sits at about 68. many machines like the treadmills though have built in fans that blow right in your face. i dont know about the elliptical machine i havent tried it again since i figured out you could change the resistance

I think it varies per gym, even within the same brand. I have tried many many different gyms across 5 different brands (like 20 gyms in the past 2 years alone) and some are icey cold, as in I wear a top to peel of after my warm up as its goose bump induciing cold, another gym is so hot the windows constantly had steam on them and certain machines were never in use due to the heat.

If you find the gym is too hot, say somthing- its your money they are taking and its likely you are not the only one to feel that way. If they say no one else has complained then maybe ask for some advice on how to stay cool and if its possible to at least open a/several window/s.
