This wonderful place has been discovered. During rush hour, you may wait for equipment. If you schedule yourself around the busy times, this place is great. They have a filtered water bottle fountain, too.

I spend at least 8 hrs a week here. I love everything about it. Havent tried the heated pool yet but it's on my bucket list.

It limits it's membership to TMC employees, UT Med students and graduates. Despite the fact that I am a medically retired Nurse for the US Army, they wouldn't allow me to rejoin the Wellness Ctr.

This is my gym. The price is phenomenal and it is so clean. What I really love is the Olympic pool ... it is an outdoor pool but it is always kept at 82 degrees which is too cold for me in the winter but great in the fall and spring. They have lots of free weights, heavy weights and hydraulic weight machines.

There are some machines I wish they had here, but they cover most body groups well enough! Worth the money if you are a UT employee or student. Excellent pool! No sauna or Spa area though.Update: I have had to deal with so many incredibly rude staff here that I ultimately had to switch gyms. Other disappointing things: bathrooms are always gross and not cleaned well, lockers have trash in them, and machines are often broken and take weeks to be fixed. Would not recommend this gym.

Great staff and outstanding facility. The pool is heated. The equipment is always clean. It does get busy during the afternoon but between 10-1 it’s very dead and lots of open space. Basketball court and tennis court in back uncovered.
