Lighting and atmosphere is very important to me in terms of my mood. I love that this gym has big windows and lots of natural light! Definitely helps me stay motivated to work out. It doesn’t feel like you’re in a box or in a confined area. I love that there are multiple levels, and the group fitness rooms are beautiful. The equipment is newer, the lockers are passcode so you don’t need a padlock, and the locker rooms are BEAUTIFUL.

Respect for the equipment has improved the last year and people are cleaning up after themselves more. Very friendly staff and great athletic trainers. I needed to work on rebuilding my knee and was given great advice and the trainer followed up with me which I did not expect.

I know I don't fully utilize the center, but it is still top notch.More free weights, racks and cardio equipment than I can use. Great dry sauna.Super good price since my wife is a student.

Lots of good weightlifting equipment, multiple power racks, 2 deadlift/Olympic lift platforms. Lots of fun events, a positive atmosphere, and generally not terribly busy. BONUS: they won't scream at you for taking your shirt off unlike west campus.

Really beautiful space to work out in with so much natural light. They have a large weightlifting area, indoor track, basketball and soccer, indoor golf, cardio machines, fitness classes, injury prevention/care, etc. The space was built ~2015, so everything is new and very clean.

Usually not too crowded in the summers. Great equipment. Definitely a good alternative to the city campus rec.

Great facility. The best times to go are in the early morning and late night to avoid the crowds.

Much smaller than the City Campus rec center, but a lot of good options and it's never been mobbed when I've been there.

As a gym it's quite a nice locale. The summer hours are reasonable and the place never gets crowded (during the summer). Information about each area is also readily available, so I felt informed about the rules and etiquette for each area. Overall it's a nice place to exercise.
