Nice and clean facility and friendly staff. Family friendly (basketball courts, soccer field, pool, climbing wall). Birthday parties for kids is especially fun. We are UCCS affiliated- don’t have a membership but we pay for a day access pass. They don’t have child watch but as long as your not planning to do the weight machines or go upstairs, it’s a great place to be active and entertained with the family.

So much to offer! Love the rock wall and the pool is a good size for multiple swim lanes. Upstairs has all the gym equipment one would want plus there are exercise classes!

It's unfair that we have to pay for UCCS to keep the rec running even if we don't ever go to the gym. It's a complete rip off and since I already pay for this service I decided I would use the swimming pool. Lucky for me the swimming pool has been closed all year because of "budgetary reasons." Maybe use the fee you take from everyone here and actually use if for what its intended for. Seriously what do you guys do with all the money you steal from us? Total rip off and not worth it.

Awesome place. I love the tiny rock wall! It's well worth the $10 price for the whole year. As others have stated, the music can get a bit loud. Last time I was there they were playing what seemed to be the radio and so advertisements were playing and that was quite annoying. Whoever is controlling the music may want to look into a premium Spotify account!

I’ve come here on two occasions where my workout is disrupted by a staff member due to dress code. I wouldn’t have a problem with this if they addressed it the first time I’ve worn my jumper to the gym. However, the fact that I have worn it on multiple occasions without any reproach shows a lack in mutual staff enforcement.A staff member was also taking pictures of me without my consent during my workout. Additionally, I felt humiliated when it was a male staff member who told me to put on a sweatshirt.Now when I come to the gym, I feel like I’m being watched and monitored carefully. I’m considering moving to another gym due to my discomfort in this environment.

A fantastic facility. So many great features, machines, resources, and opportunities. To fully explain the rec center would take longer than is appropriate for an online review. Go to UCCS, and take a tour. It's well worth your time, and you'll be impressed with the scale and quality of the facility compared the the school's size. In breif though, highlights include: 4 courts, indoor running track, 2 group fitness studios, wellness center, rock wall, bike shop, swimming pools, and more.Seriously go check it out for yourself.

this gym needs better parking. I was going to give 2 stars but some of the staff is amazing. Special mention to Ashley whose paygrade should be at the top like her performanceEdit: parking ratings has gone to parking and transportation services.

Amazing gym. I workout everyday after classes and It truly is a great place. Staff is typically friendly. All the options for equipment is awesome so you can always get a great workout in. The gym is kept very clean and equipment is always back where it should be after use. Great gym for the university.

UCCS is a good university. Like every big institution, sometimes it can be difficult to navigate the system, especially if you are trying to find something specific. However, UCCS has tried to alleviate this by posting much of the info online. The students that work at the campus are very helpful. The facilities are nice and useful. Many employees are extremely helpful (of course there are always jerks that with their attitude denigrate the institution, but it seems that for one of this are many that are proud and happy to help). Note of caution: the bus drivers can be aggressive and disrespectful (at least have bad experience with couple of them) and they want you to move immediately no matter how valid a reason you have; one of them started to hit my vehicle when I was waiting for my son that have a recent cirjury and this jerk almost hit my son when he turned around. When I complained in the transportation office, they behave like if I was in a military tribunal (I am retired from the military). So, is people like these who put down the name of a good institution. You do not need to be rude to explain and educate people and enforce policy and regulations. Anyway: The University and facilities are good and, if you are prepared and realistic in your expectations, you will enjoy your time in the UCCS.

It's a great place and there are amazing people that work there. The expansion was needed but there are still many basic things lacking. Half of their leg machines are always broken, it has been a few months now and still nothing is fixed even after speaking to their employees. They have too many cardio machines that nobody uses, that space can be utilized better with other equipment. They are also the first gym I have ever been to that does not allow guys to wear stringer tank tops which is absolutely pathetic. If they want things to improve they should listen to their customers!
