Great place to play and watch basketball/volleyball . The reason it isn’t 5 stars is because of the benches are uncomfortable

I love Smith Fieldhouse so much! I lifted weights and ran three miles on the indoor track; and I am a happy man! 💪😁 …

Some great facilities, open at convenient hours. Do some exploring because there will always be something else to do to keep active. This is a great resource, especially for students. Take advantage of it!

They revamped the gym last year and since then it's been a lot better, with nicer equipment and more of it

The gym room with weights and machines is an embarrassment. It really comes across as an afterthought where they merged about two classrooms, they put mirrors on the walls, and put in some machines. …

I really don't like BYU. But, this is one of the top 2 indoor track facilities in the state. Probably region. A banked 322 meter track? Can't beat it. Unless you go to the Olympic oval. It's annoying you can't deadlift in the weight room.. but the track makes up for it. By a long shot.

Very old compared to other universities. Only two gyms that are very crowded and one is used all throughout the day classes. I don't really see how this building serves the students compared to the other university gyms in the state. Wish we had a gym like them!

I have only ever used the student weight room part of this facility. The equipment they do have is okay, but there just isn't much there. This gym is really small and we pay way too much to be restricted to such a small, old facility, when simply being on a sports team gets you into the fancy stuff. As a service member, I need to be in at least as good of shape as anyone on the [pick your sport] team, but I have to go somewhere expensive to have access to everything they have. I still work out here cuz it's free, but BYU can do so much better. I've been to similar facilities at MUCH smaller schools that were ten times better than this, and all students can use it. Also, it's dumb that it closes early for things like education week. The field house of all places should have no need to have reduced hours for something like that.

The fieldhouse is the location of a few student health amenities. The indoor track is located here. The track is nice, but often the annex is closed and the track is shortened significantly. This isn't a major problem, and in general, the indoor track is a great place to run.The student weight rooms are also located here. These rooms are very outdated and extremely small. They are normally jam packed. The university really needs to invest is better student exercise facilities. This building is 65+ years old, and simply can not meet the needs of 30,000 students.
