Georgia Tech Campus Recreation Center

I've only used the fitness center and it's pretty good. There are a lot of racks for squatting and benching. Not that many machines though. For instance there is only one leg extension machine

CRC is a world-class sports facility. It has: an olympic swimming pool, an olympic diving pool, a recreational pool with slides, a fully-equipped gym, a climbing wall, 6 basketball courts, two racquetball courts, one squash court, one badminton course, one golf simulator, several flexible studios for training group sports, a spinning studio, combat studios, vending machines, rest and study areas, a food court, an outdoor sun deck, and several help desks where you can borrow all the equipment necessary. It is a jewel for Georgia Tech students, staff, and alumni and their families.

Weight room area is extremely busy after work. I prefer going in the morning.

Does not allow day passes for those visiting the area. We were in town for the weekend for a swim meet and wanted to get in a few work outs while waiting for events to begin. The staff said unless you know a member there was no way to use the gym. Many other rec centers around the nation have 1-3 day passes for visitors

Very nice rec center—however gets busier year after year—they need to build a second oneThe Industrial Engineers who designed this facility back in the day thinking only 1-3% of the student body exercised here, now it is 5-10% and unless you don’t mind waiting for almost everything, you need to go in the early morning or early afternoon

This is probably an acceptable gym for students; but as an alumni, it is completely sub-par. It has the same equipment that was there when I was a student over a decade ago. It is not cleaned regularly (pieces of dust and dirt linger for weeks) and cardio machines are often malfunctioning. There are lines to use every piece of equipment so you could queue up behind ten or twelve people to use a bench press.The most frustrating thing is the off hours where they close over student breaks or around football schedules. For example, if there is a Saturday evening game, they will close the crc at noon. Despite paying for a parking pass, they have blocked off parking this weekend for a high school swim meet (something they don't do even for college football games).Again, it is probably okay to work around these things for students living on campus, but there are not any benefits compared to other commercial gym options, and clearly it is not operated with guest experience in mind.

This college pool is wonderful. We go here for States with swim and its always the best. Love the store inside. The atmosphere is wonderful. The pool is super great to swim in

Coolest pool ive ever swam in. Its so deep and they can change the depth with a machine that pushes and pulls the floor. Theres a diving board and even a rock climbing wall. All for $5 a day.

The gym is pretty nice, but there is not enough equipment for the population it serves. Unless you are coming pre-7am or after 10pm, good luck getting dumbbells between 15-35 lbs. There's usually a 15 minute line for power racks and 20-30 …

Very nice rec center. Go here for diving meets, but if you're a student there seems to be a lot to offer. Squash, weight room, pool, diving well, track. All very modern and very well maintained. Parking can be a bit of a challenge at times, but that's really anywhere around Atlanta.
