By Fall 0f 2013, it won’t take you a couple hours to jump into a pickup basketball game on campus. Hutchinson Gym’s renovations are in the middle stages of completion, since initial work began over the past summer. Some of the renovations include a training room for fencing, rowing tanks in the basement, and even air conditioning (revolutionary!). You can check out more pictures of the progress and even some final renderings with ghostly silhouettes of athletes that really show off what’s going to be Hutch 2.0.
With all this sunshine, it’s just too easy to play on the word “spring.” Last weekend, father time told us to “spring forward.” And we’re all looking forward to that (sexual or intoxicated or both) “spring fling” in the coming month. So, it’s no surprise Pottruck joined in. Tomorrow night’s Late Night event at Pottruck, “Spring into Fitness,” features new releases of the unnecessarily capitalized (but necessarily intensified) “BODYPUMP” and “BODYCOMBAT” workouts.
Gym rats, rejoice. If free BODYCOMBAT doesn’t get you going, we’re not sure what does. For the rest of us, the timing of this free workout session is prime–especially considering how many calories will likely be consumed today.

We couldn’t help noticing this sign as we dragged our feet into Pottruck this morning. We knew the gym offered classes and games, but Guitar Hero? Not much info appears on the sign, but if you’re interested you can email mreno@upenn.edu. As for us? We’re holding out until they can spring for Rock Band.
