One perk at risd is that it has a gym and exercise rooms under the main cafeteria. So I signed up for pilates classes, ten classes for only $50! There are about six of us exchange students in the class, and about 20 in total.We have class every Tuesday at 7pm for one hour.
I've never done pilates before, but I really like it! It takes a lot of concentration and control, which I like and it gets to the stomach muscles like nothing else I've done, and I always feel more relaxed and refreshed afterwards. Ideally I would like to do it at least three times per week, but this is a good start, the exercises seem to be getting easier, so I think I might be getting stronger in my stomach area. This is something I really wish they could offer at Emily Carr, but the cheap price is because it is subsidized by the students activity fees that are added to their tuition.
They also offer yoga (vinyasa and bikrams), kickboxing, butts and guts, and I think a couple others which I can't recall. I can't say how nice the gym is, because I've never stepped foot inside, but it seems to have a lot of machines (I'm not a big fan of machines)!

I heard you could also get into the Brown facilities, have you ever been in there?
Nonetheless though, that seems fabulous. Maybe their high tuition cost is really worth it. lol.
Yeah! You can use the Brown facilities, I haven't done this yet, but my friend has and she got into a competitive running sprint with a Brown dude on the treadmill-thingie!
