Flagler faculty members and students show concern for fitness facility

By Isabella Pazmino| ipazmino@flagler.edu

Sophomore Nicole Mera’s favorite time of the day is at 7 p.m. as she puts on her fitness clothing. She said she feels eager to relax and let go of all the stress that comes with college life. When she walks into Flagler’s fitness facility, she finds herself in a crowded, limited space in which there are no free treadmills or ellipticals.

“The gym is too small. There are not enough machines for everyone. Sometimes, I have to wait 15 to 30 minutes for a machine,” Mera said. “I think as students we deserve a better gym or at least one that meets students’ needs.”

By Lawrence Griffin | gargoyle@flagler.edu

Flagler alum Paige Marie Garrity, 19, is living her childhood dream as a rising pop star, preparing to release her debut mix-tape next January.

“I knew from a very young age that performing was what I wanted to do…When my friends would come over, we would get all dressed up and put on shows at my parents’ dinner parties,” Garrity said. “I wasn’t a shy kid, I loved being the center of attention when it came to the ‘spotlight.’ I would choreograph routines to Britney Spears, N’Sync and Christina Aguilera and beg for my friends to perform them with me, even when they didn’t want to.”
