UREC HPER Building

This is a great gym that I have really enjoyed as an undergrad and still enjoy as an alumni. It has so many things to do if the typical weight room or cardio machines are not what you're looking for. The weight room is great and expansive so many of your needs and the dumbbells go high enough to where I doubt there is need for most people to do higher. Machines are well-maintained and the staff are friendly. The only bad thing I would say is they don't allow deadlifts outside of the squat racks and they don't like it when you drop weight, even if the amount you do is high weight. Regardless, the facilities are great. You can swim, play basketball, racketball/squash, indoor track run, climbing wall, and sauna. It's pretty great. For the price and facility itself, you can't beat this.

The staff here was nice and the facility was clean. There were several seperate gyms and racquet ball courts.

When I lived in Fayetteville, my wife and I had a membership here. The pool was the highlight but everything was clean and really a great gym to be a part of. I highly recommend it.

Great place for all sorts of activities. Full gym including free weights, various equipment and lots of cardio equipment. …

Frequently dirty, staff isn't always friendly, but the overall facility is a 4/5.The sauna for the men is normally broken, but who knows, you might get lucky when you go.

Weight room too small (i.e. only 2 free weight bench presses); Pool too small (8 lanes for both the swim team and ~20,000 students), bouldering wall nice but way too small (made for only 4 people max), indoor track only 3 "lanes", only 3 basketball courts made in the 50's, racquetball courts are sufficient, hours not beneficial to students or other patrons, staff is usually nice (they know it sucks too), basically everything is way too small and old for the number of students at a large university. Oh, and the building is ugly.

Weight room is way too small for the demand. Closes all of the time. Employees treated above customers. Good other than those things.Edit: They renovated the entire weight room and it is much better now. However, they haven't fixed the shortage problem. They probably won't since it is treated as a "free" good.***Charge members based on the time that they use the gym (usage fees for peak periods) and the problem will be eliminated overnight. Plus, revenues generated from this could be used to expand the facility and buy new equipment. Easy fix!!! Test it out for a few weeks!

The atmosphere is great! The student employees are helpful and the equipment is constantly being cared for and updated. I love the sauna located in the locker room. It's a great way to wind down after a workout.

Way too small of a gym for how many people go there. Practically can't workout from 4-9pm everyday because it's so busy.

I'm a law student at UArk and the HPER allows all sorts of Arkansas individuals like students, faculty, grad students, grad assistants, athletes, alumni, and guests. Their machines are the newest technology and are very well kept and clean. …
