Don Ridler Field House

Graduation ceremony was awesome!

Climbing up and down the steps might be a challenge if you're older in the gymnasium

Good 'ol LTU!!! Came here for homecoming weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see all the changes made to the campus and sports teams added. The field house here has definitely changed but for the better. Come check out our Blue devils!

Small, cramped, not a huge fan. Was here for closing ceremonies of a conference. Might be better for a bball game.

Used to be a great gym until they moved machines and took alumni access away.

Entrance is very nice and well done gym could use some updates but overall nice place.

Limited weight lifting equipment and machines often crowded by the awful sports teams of the University who dont utilize them properly and obviously are in no position to lift weights when it looks like they cant wipe their own asses.

It has very good gym, nice basketball court and badminton court. People who are working are very friendly.

It's nice but doesn't have too good of equitment and a few things are missing that were there from before. Overall still a good gym to go to if you have a LTU ID.

In the past the LTU gym was an acceptable place to lift weights. Over time more and more athletes were using the gym facilities and management evidently didn’t know how to cope with the growth. I do realize this could be due a lack of funds. But, I feel NO consideration was given to existing alumni who have paid for years and donated thousands in the past to help expand the overall campus. Myself, I donated thousands to help build a study/testing lab.At various times the locker rooms were unavailable to alumni, students and LTU staff. This was due to games and activities in session. This appeared to be occurring more frequent as each year passed. If you were in a situation where you needed to change you had to squeeze into a bathroom along with others doing likewise.The next incident occurred when all the weight machines were moved into a racket ball court. This was on the opposite side of the complex. I was told this was done to make room for more free weights for the athletes. Yet a room next door sat there with additional older free weights. Why?? When a game was going on, the racket ball court where the weight machines were, was closed off to alumni and students. If you wanted to lift you were forced to use the free weight rooms while an activity was in session.The final straw for me was when I went there on Aug 15, 2018. I discovered, without warning all the weight machines were moved out of the racket ball court to another location on campus. I would now have to leave the gym and go there if I wanted to use weight machines. This all happened AFTER I paid my full year alumni membership fee up front. We were NOT told this was going to happen and now try to get a work out in. We are all packed into the free weight room and sitting there with NO leg and arm machines. You are now forced to do squats for legs and dumbells for arms.If you want to circuit train forget it. They could have at least put the weight machines next door into the other room and cleared out the older free weights machines. Maybe not all of it would have fit in that room, but at least there would be some machines. Poor planning IMO.I was told the machines are for non-athletes and the free weights are for the athletes.To remove weight machines and reserve that strictly for the non-athletes and then categorize the free weight room strictly for the athletes makes no sense to me. There are benefits that can be experienced using both.
