SFU gym is pretty nice and the equipment/building is pretty new witha pretty nice view, and well ventillated air conditioning.
A little off topic, but Uvic's gym (Ian Stewart) is one of the best there is in BC I think.

View is nice, the equipment is new but the gym is by no means well ventilated. If you're not breathing hard or sweating, you're probably just not working out hard enough.
Here's my little SFU gym rant (nothing to do with anything):
At the start of every September and January, all the newbies come in and take over. These "kids", (I use this term very casually) take over all the racks, benches, and bars for their little (weight wise) work outs. The workouts inevitably involves bench press, standing bicep curls, and a couple swinging pull ups. Don't get me wrong, I applaud people working out and bettering themselves physically and mentally. BUT a holy fuck, either commit to working out in the long run or don't crowd the gym so people who actually care can't work out. Everyone just chills in groups of 3 or 4 around an equipment. They chat 80% of the time, lift weight 10% and be 'mirin other people for the last 10%. It's irritating since it ruins the routine and mental process for the dedicated bunch. I'm thankful that I use the heavier dumbbells and they're rarely touched.
