My research site is the Newport Athletic Club. It is located in Middletown, Rhode Island and is a fitness center/gym. There are many areas for me to do my research such as the fitness center, weight lifting room, nautilus room, pool area, and basketball courts. Each area has different people and activities going on that i can study and get into more depth with. There are more younger people and women in the nautilus room, and the "beef heads" in the weight room.
I know a lot about this gym but some things i need to do involve interviewing the manager to find out more about how the gym is maintained. I also would like to find out more about the pool area for i am rarely in there. I would also like to check out the diversity in the fitness center because there are usually very different types of people in there. I plan to research the whole building because it is not too big, but big enough to get a lot of writing and research done.
