0:13 (Leonard)-It was mostly Nick because he was the one that went online and found like an old and used rack and equipment.
0:21 (Tilmont)- SAWYER SAYS HE GOT THE IDEA AFTER SEEING HOW MUCH SPACE HE WOULD HAVE IN THE APARTMENT AND ALSO THE STRESS OF SCHEUDLING A RESERVATION.
0:28 (Sawyer)- My days never really look like each other so just to be able to get a quick workout in in the night or in the morning it is definitely really convenient.
0:39 (Tilmont)- THE TWO EACH CONTRIBUTED EQUIPMENT TO THE ROOM, AND WHEN ASKED IF SOME MORE STUFF WOULD BE ON THE WAY, LEONARD SAID IT WASN’T LIKELY.
0:45 (Leonard)- Given the space we have, I think we have a good amount stuff cause we can do our squat racks and our bench press and we have floor mats too for some floor work and stuff so for what for the space we have I think it is like perfect.
1:01 (Tilmont)- SO WHILE THE REST OF CAMPUS
WAITS, THESE TWO ROOMMATES WILL KEEP LIFTING. PETER TILMONT, N-C-C NEWS.
“It was mostly Nick’s [idea], he’s the one who went online and found a used rack and equipment,” Leonard said.
That idea was an at home gym in their apartment. Sawyer got the idea after seeing how much room they would have, after one of the roommates supposed to be living their decided to stay at home for the semester.
“It was also convenience for me,” Sawyer said. “My days never really look like each other, so just being able to get a quick workout at night or early in the the morning it is definitely really convenient.”
Sawyer also said the ability to have a bench that can convert into a squat rack was helpful.
“The ability for me to get both the compound lifts that I do really helps my ability to get a full workout in,” he said.
