LaHaye Recreation & Fitness Center

Has everything you can possibly imagine. Everything's in working order. Plenty of rooms for group exercise class. There are many times when the gym isn't even busy, and I find that that's the best time to go.

Worst customer service I’ve ever seen, which is shocking coming from a Christian university. It’s a bunch of friends in a clique and they roll their eyes/talk down to you for no reason. They also randomly close things constantly like the hot tub, but then you’ll see Liberty staff swimming in there. On top of that, it’s always dirty but that’s the least of my concerns compared to how rude and unprofessional their workers are.One time, I had five minutes left in my workout before they closed and was finishing my set. The girl told me to leave immediately. I told her I would like to finish this set please and she yelled, “fine! But when I get back around here you better be gone!”Another time, I had a guest pass and asked if the gal at the desk could please let me out as I was leaving. She ignored me so I said, “excuse me, could you please let me out?” A little bit louder. “I was DOING SOMETHING!!” She hollered.I’m addition to both of these occasions, just the mere tone and inflection of several workers is constantly disrespectful. They suddenly shut down guest passes, so I couldn’t get one while in town as alumni. I asked to speak with the manager, and Sara(h) refused. “No, actually you can’t. You can talk to me.” Another person who’s been blatantly disrespectful is Will Dando. I don’t know what I did to deserve his mistreatment, but every time I see him when I go in to work out, he talks down to me like I’m the worst person alive.I don’t know why Liberty as a Christian college would hire such a hateful group of staff. I hope that eventually, someone will recognize the real versions of these people and not whatever fake personas they are likely showing to their management. It’s really misrepresenting Christ.

We love that the climbing wall is included in the summer rec pass! It's very challenging for my petite 10 year old, and not entirely out of reach for younger siblings to try, but the taller your kid is, the better chance they'll stand since overall it's designed for college students.The bathrooms are great too; I wish they'd update David's place to have bathrooms more like the ones here.

the dresscode is insane. If they see 1cm of stomach showing they will flag you.. you get 3 flags then banned from gym. it's quite ridiculous. I do crossfit and I sweat a ton.. obviously my shirt is going to ride up a bit. the overall dresscode policy is wayyy overboard. It should be only for those girls who purposely show too much skin for pure attention, not for those like me who are there to do CrossFit and powerlifting with appropriate clothing on. dresscode needs to be updated.

Its an excellent facility with the gym having any type of equipment you need BUT it looks like the equipment in the gym doesn't get clean as I see alot of dust everywhere and especially the barbells on the squat racks and bench press, I used a wipe to wipe the bar on a squat rack and it turned brown, I used 4 more wipes each rubbing thoroughly and still brown each time you can tell the squat racks haven't been cleaned in ages. I really like this facility but in order for it to get a better rating it needs to be CLEAN!

Overall, it is an excellent facility and some fine workers in the swimming pool area. Some maintenance work could be better in the locker room; however, in the big picture it is a fantastic deal. No better deal in Central Virginia.

State of the art fitness center. I 💖 Lahaye. Its clean,quiet & properly equipped. Best gym in Lynchburg. …

Great place for a volleyball tournament and a tour of this awesome university!

Great facility with lots of fitness equipment. I personally prefer the Loft with the CrossFit equipment. There are also numerous sports courts for one to play around on. Though one does have to be careful of what time they choose to go at, as it can get very packed with students and trying to find a machine can be difficult.

Awesome gym. Should allow spouses of students though also the gym locker locks are terrible. Half of them work properly... Also to add. The gym was closed for over a week for "cleaning and repairs" but is still dirty... Also they need to invest in more cable accessory racks and weight racks. Looks very disorganized. Update- still very disorganized. When I come first thing in the morning the ropes and different handles are still all over the ground. No cleaning had been done over the time they are closed and no organization. Just waiting for a staph infection to wake the staff up...
