Characters need a place to train, so how 'bout a gym? There could be trainers on hand too, to give extra fighting lessons and stuff.
EDIT: And a place to practise music wouldn't be bad idea either.

If I remember correctly, someone already asked about this a while back.
The School Grounds, forests, and other places serve as a gym mostly, don't they? Its solitary, there are branches for chin-ups, rocks for lifting, and other things of the sort. Also, most of our characters on here would be able to do a ridiculous amount of weight, especially if they are of another race than human. The place for music would also be the music room, eh? That's just what I get from it...all in all, a gym seems a bit mroe trouble than it's worth, and we already have a music room. ^^

Sure, but it ain't official. I mean, we have forests in the real world but people still go to gyms. If by we have a music room, you mean the classroom, I didn't know we could make our own threads there.

I'm pretty sure we can. ^^"
And also, like I said, gyms would bring some controversy. -points at above post-
Edit: Also, think about situations in the weightroom man-to-man. For instance, people would powerplay every single time just to try to show up another character. That would bring controversy.
ex.
Dain benches 600 lbs, then Pendragon benches 2000 lbs.
(Note, this is only an example.)
Obviously, from exp, we know Dain would lift more because in detail he is lvl 33 and therefore is stronger; leading to Pendragon powerplaying. I wouldn't complain about it most likely, neither would you (Pen); BUT, some people would. And making a rule to stop that is just silly.
Do you get what I mean?
THough, your idea does have some good points to it. If a weightroom were to be made; I VOTE FOR IT TO BE IN THE BOYS' COMMON ROOM.

So have magically enchanced weights? Whatever.
It isn't really for contest like that, just to roleplay people training. If you got a char who is kinda weak, you can't just make them magically stronger. A training thread would do the trick. I know one session wouldn't work, but you can't roleplay every single one. Something along the lines of 'Once again Pen returned to the gym, like he had done everyday for the past month...'.
And boys dorm, bad idea. You need to have put in a password to even see if anythings been posted. Which most people won't do. Plus it's kinda sexist..

Have you ever been in a weightroom? Usually the class is entirely sexist by itself. >.>
I'm just hinting that I doubt most girls would have their female characters go for weight-training because in terms of body structure, males have high-intensity machines while girls have low-intensity machines. Unless of course Ithilwen wants to pump some iron and become Miss Universe. XD
You're right about the password thing though. I never saw why it had to be password protected...the rules DO say to keep things PG-13. ^^"

I can picture it now...
Akira walked into a room which smelled of iron and sweat, a broad smile came to her face- so this is how they've come to work on thier strength? She remembered how she would gain physical strength from living, never bulging muscles of course she looked more sleekly toned than anything else. She walked over to some of the weights and looked at them thoughtfully for a few moments before effortlessly picking it up and tossing it from hand to hand. "Pathetic..." she mumbled to herself, there were more reasonable and interesting ways to get excercise and this was one of the worst ways yet. Sure- it was great if you wanted to focus on a certain kind of strength but she'd prefer to stick with the basics of life instead. Her fox ears swivveled about as she turned away from the weights (okay, now I'm just going to be silly...) and her eyes fell upon a peculiar device, it looked like a platform with handles and buttons. She walked over to it timidly and pressed a button and behold an endless track began scrolling beneath her- so she began running. She had no clue what this device was but it seemed to be speeding up and she was growing bored and she wondered how she was to get off. She pressed another button and the device sped up even further, she ran faster and faster, keeping pace with it till she tripped and the track slung her backwards against the wall with a dueful 'thud.' "Vile machine..." she murmered as fox fire buzzed to her hand and flowed in a stream from her hand, incinerating the treadmill. She narrowed her eyes with a sadistic sense of happiness at the destruction of this vile 'it' and she turned around, leaving the gym.

lol i support dain's first response that you can train in the forest and stuff. I don't want to make a gym because honestly how many people would go to a gym

Well...wait a minute. We COULD get a weightroom, but only on our own accords. For instance, everyone in the boys' dorm could provide a quantity of SP all together and donate this to make a weightroom next to the Zen Garden. It's also the fact that with that sub-board, the common rooms might get a little more active. I'm sure all the male characters would post there, I will.

I think a gym is an alright idea, but I also agree on the point that training outdoors is also another option. You could run, swim, fly, beat up on some old trees, or just about whatever else you can think up.
However, a specific room designated to just exercising isn't as bad as you may think. For one, it would provide another place for characters to chat, make friends, and burn some energy; plus, equipment in a gym in Twilight Moon Academy could be enchanted. For example, a sort of treadmill for /flying/ in Ithilwen's case, a specially-desgined obstacle course designed for wind currents for Angie, a pool containing various combat-capable creatures for Crow to practice his water manipulation, and an immortal, non-perishable punching bag for Dain to beat up on. =D
I think that making it a "magicall" gym would make this idea a bit more appealing, but other than that, good ole' Mother Nature should suffice for your basic needs. ^^ *thumbs up*

Hahaha an immortal, non-perishable punching bag for Dain to beat up on, lmao. But I like Vamp's Idea best. bust as for the competition part that Dain mentioned, how bout you don't post how much your character is lifting or how hard he punches or anything like that. No competition.
As for all the different places for a person to train, I think there should just be a number of rooms where it will change to any form in which the person desires, with a 4th dimensional setting, so unlimited area and time.
