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.

Going to the Gym Good for More than Just your Brain!

Reading this article definitely brought up an aspect about going to the gym that I hadn't even considered. Going to the gym results in better grades? Researchers at Purdue University seem to think so, and they have proof to back it up!


By tracking the number of visits to the campus gym, researchers were able to verify that students that went to the gym, on average, had a slightly higher GPA than those who didn't go to the gym.

The science and the reasoning behind it is actually fascinating!

    Maybe going to the gym on campus would change my "C's get degrees" mentality? haha
