Wait for Treadmill at Yates Reaches Four Year Mark

By

YATES FIELD HOUSE— Athletic Department officials at Yates Field House told reporters today that the approximate waiting time for a treadmill at the gym was now four years.

With the addition of several dozen underclassman females this weekend, the line finally broke the four year mark and offered new testimony to Georgetown’s health crazed campus.gu_yates

The line, as verified by NASA satellite imagery, now stretches from the treadmills to the basketball court towards the Southwest Quad and takes a left on Canal Road until it reaches Bethesda, Maryland.

The low resolution pictures taken from space, however, have analysts still trying to conclude if every person in the line is wearing Lululemon.

Senior Hannah Cassidy (SFS ’15) told reporters from the front of the line that she was “really hoping to get [her] body into shape for Summer 2012.”

Despite a seemingly crippling lack of food and shelter during their wait for a treadmill, most in line reported that they were subsisting “just fine” on a diet of exclusively Luna Bars and Chobani.

Most students in line shrugged off having to miss entire semesters’s worth of classes as well as birthdays, graduation, weddings, and funerals by saying “no pain, no gain.”

Others stressed the benefits of having such a convenient indoor location for students to exercise.

“I would go for run outside, but I definitely can’t run in these frigid temperatures,” said Mariah Diatriovich (COL ’15). “It’s still winter right? When I got in line it was winter.”

At press time most the bench presses were still available as none of the girls were “tryna lift.”
