It's a full size gym with literally everything you need and more. Even a golf simulator and rock climbing wall. And classes and stuff for so many different sports. Also has an awesome sunset view from the 4th floorBeat that, YMCA

I use it everyday. No dust, but the weights are never racked right, even at the beginning of the day. Some of the machines scare me a bit, like the seat will unlock while I'm benching at 45°(so it'll move down while I'm holding half my body …

Decent equipment selection and good number of benches/ squat racks, but not nearly enough for a school of 40k students. During peak hours, you can end up waiting upwards of 30 minutes for a bench or rack and end up having to decide your …

Very well done for exercising and fun experience I just had. The basketball courts are so fun to play basketball at. The pools are even fun to join as well. The best part is their workout sessions. CRC is not just an average gym it’s a freedom for Georgia Tech students who can have fun and work out at.

This is the best university gym that I’ve been to. UW-Madison gym is very comparable, but Columbia underground gym is a joke. You'll enjoy the Olympics standard swimming pool and wall-climbing. I heard the mini-golf simulator is also very cool, but I never tried it out. Another credit to the CRC online registration website, which makes social distance possible during pandemic times.

Great campus and venue for swim meets. Can't beat a spot used by olympians. Parking is easy to figure out and buildings and facilities are well kept.

Not only is Georgia Tech a great school - it has one of the greatest pools in the county. The Georgia Tech pool was once the Olympic pool when the Olympic games were held in Atlanta in 1996. The competition pool is ten lanes/50 meters and is the perfect depth. It is a very fast pool. Seating is great for coaches and spectators. Attached is a diving well used for 1m,3m, and 10 m diving. Also in the facility is a great gym/workout area for students.

This is an excellent gym with all the equipment and facilities I need. All GT students know this already and I know many alumni who maintain an alumni membership after graduation particularly if you want to swim. Things can get pretty busy in the evenings as with any gym but there is plenty of space to get a workout in anyway. I’ve also rented portions of the facility for events and it has always been an excellent experience. The staff has been professional and more than helpful during planning and execution of the event. Parking can be a bit of a pain but as long as your guests know ahead of time we haven’t had many complaints.
