  8. Morning • In the morning hours of the individuals are on a timed schedule, therefore everyone is doing there own thing. There are not a lot of music players or magazines throughout the gym. The only artifacts being used is the actual equipment and one or two people are watching TV. Midmorning During the mid-morning hours there are a couple more magazines and music players in sight. You can also see handbags and a few baby bags. The treadmills are moving a bit slower the=an earlier. A small detail I noticed was the clothing that you see at this time of the day. Most women are dressed in casual athletic clothes that are not very bright in color Artifacts (Observations)

  9. Evenings The evening are a bit chaotic. There are all sorts of artifacts in action. Many of the machines are being used and you can hear all sorts of different noises. Everywhere you turn you can see a phone or a music player being used. There are weights coming on and off the shelf and almost all of the yoga pads are in use. At this time of day you can observe bright clothes. Many ladies have on neon yellow and orange shorts and shoes.

  10. During each visit we observed a different group of people, but in the end I believe every member falls into one discourse community. The main purpose in being there is to meet personal goals. Discourse Communties

  11. Gary York Why do you come to the gym in the morning? It is basically the only time I have time to come What objects do you bring with you to the gym? Usually a bottle of water, something to read and or mu Ipod. Does listening to music make your jog easier? At first it did because when I started coming it was hard for me to keep going and listening to music distracted me. Now I just enjoy it. Do you socialize with the other members? Yes, I know just about everyone who comes in. I have met many people some come everyday and some have stopped coming, but it is always nice to see a new face. Interview Questions
