Love that a building on campus is still being utilized for sports at almost 100 years old

Nice workout space, lots of machines and space, walking track was not too busy and all the employees were cheerful and helpful. Open to the public $10 per day. Closed for the summer but they have another facility on campus that is open.

This is the worst college gym facility in Indiana. The employees and directors who work there are power hungry and love to kick kids out for unreasonable things. IU needs a better basketball facility because this one is not fun.

The mens bathroom in Royer lobby has the best urinals. Would use again.

Good gym. Not crowded. Could use some more regular maintenance (a torn cable takes over a month to be fixed) but otherwise great, and with a unique indoors running track.

Hot, gross, and moldy. Its like it has no ac or climate control at all. It badly needs remodeld. Maybe if the university would put some of its billions into the public health building that would be great.

I use the weight lifting gym on the bottom level every morning. Because they close it for classes, it can be crowded when it’s open. However, it still has all of the equipment one would want in a traditional strength training gym.The staff are really friendly down the, and I’ve found myself having really cool conversations with them.

Nicely done renovated gym. There are a lot more basketball courts in the gym now. Most of the time, classes are held here but after around 6pm, it is used by the students. Waiting time to get on the court to play other people can be 3 teams deep on almost all courts after 7pm. Normally always busy here.
