Would have been awesome if I could pay for it by choice not by force. Don’t use the gym yet still was forced to pay as part of mandatory fee. Why why why?!? They closed the whole time during pandemic, still kept my dough 🙂. Excellent business strategy!Not even mention it is a disease hub, people with COVID still went in and worked out as working out is one of the cures for COVID. 👏🏻

As a student, a great place to go to work out and de-stress. The fees are automatically included in tuition so it makes sense just to go. They close down a couple times a day to clean everything off but I’m hoping they’ll follow CDC updates and slow down the frequency of that since there’s a 1 in 10,000 chance of contracting the virus from a surface. It gets busy at times but the equipment is great and there is a lot of space.

The worst gym that I have ever experienced. Very unfriendly staff there. Very hard to find the information related to gym (like normal operational time) from website.

Very nice gym with almost everything you need besides a lap pool. Unfortunately covid rules have lockerrooms closed and require you to clean your weights and machines. All together a great gym

This is the weirdest name for a brain trauma center that we have on campus. I came in seeking special education treatment for my 16 year old cousin who has a 2.0 GPA trying to get aid for college, but he was instead met by a bunch of kerosene-injected people who were doing something known as "crossfit" over real educational value; 11/10 it's ok, but i won't be be back, and neither will be 1.7 GPA ex-brother.

Awesome place for a college student! But I feel that it's more like a mating ground. And I'm only there to put in the work and out.

Finally there's a place at UNR to get gains in addition to brains. If I could give 6 stars I would. In this facility Powerlifters and Crossfitters, once mortal enemies, come together and workout in peace. My man E.L Wiegand is a LEGEND for …

Truly a great facility. Even when it is really busy, there is always something else you can do with a little modifications to train the muscle group desired. Staff is nice, gym is kept clean, and the big staircase is definitely designed to elevate everyone's training to the next level. There's something for anyone and everyone!

This gym is so insanely over the top and awesome. Too bad it costs $10 each day to get in if you're not a student :(
