Project Site


For my ethnography project I have decided to use the Tinsley Center Gym as my research site. I know several things about the Tinsley Center from previous experiences. The gym has several sections to it. They include a weight lifting area, basketball and multi-purpose sports courts, track and a track. The weight lifting area is equipped with free weights as well as machines weights and cardiovascular machines.
                Even though I do have some knowledge about the Tinsley Center I have many questions, especially involving peoples social reasons for attending the gym. What are the main reasons people go to the gym? What activities do people participate in while at the gym? Do people go to the gym alone or with friends? These are just some of the questions I am planning on understanding by completing my ethnography on the Tinsley Center Gym.
