Gym Culture at USF
About Us
About Us
Diversity, in respect to our blog, is the difference in mindsets and motivations, variations and beliefs, actions and practices in institutions that differ between groups.
- Through consented interviewing and observation, our goal is to search for variations in cultural values in how different groups of students (excluding faculty and staff) find reasons and motivations to attend the gym on the USF campus. By compiling our results, we aim to determine trends in both motivations and mindsets of active USF students.
- Once data is collected and analyzed, we hope to post the trends we have observed in active USF Students.
- Humanistic Approach: By finding diversity in trends, we can better understand the different mindsets of the students at USF who go to the gym.

Conclusions
When I started this blog, I though that there were more differences between civilians and military folks when it came time to go to the gym. Besides the obvious motivation that one has to stay on tip top shape to perform the mission and stay in, soldiers also have the desire to look good and be healthy. Perhaps our personal motivations don't really matter after all. As long as the workout gets done there is some benefit to us all.
One Last Post
After an entire semester of looking at, interviewing, and researching all things gym related, we've come to the end. My focus in this research has shifted into the marketing/branding/style aspect of gym culture on campus. All things aside, I find it fitting to post my last article on "all things cute" to wear at the gym. Heads up, ladies. This one goes out to you.
Inspiration
Every time time I see pics of disabled soldiers still working out I get embarrassed. Across the world, disabled soldiers still want to workout and be part of team sports. If this does not inspire someone to get of the couch, I don't know what will.
Military Fitness for Civilians
I thinks this pictures illustrates the difference between soldiers and civilians quite clearly. It's so funny that people will actually pay money to workout as a soldier.
Macdill Gym
An official pic of the base gym. I sure miss that place. Working out with your brothers and sisters in arms is wonderful. There's no race or culture involved just people working out in order to better fulfill the mission.
