I love SFA campus rec personally because I'm a student and I get in for free. But they have tons to do they have workout machines, and indoor track, indoor gyms, an outdoor pool, and sand volleyball courts, and I've heard soon there might be an indoor pool.

We come for the swim lessons. Marti is great with my kids; the one who's afraid of water and was stressed that we didn't bring a life jacket is learning and having fun. Would love to have access to the whole rec center because the equipment looks awesome, and I would totally enroll in a course to be able to come here all the time, if only time allowed.

Kathryn and the amazing staff do a great job of organizing just about any type of event you can think of! I can personally vouch for a super fun ping-pong challenge! 😉

This is a great gym! It could be better with some newer equipment, and new cleaning rags! But over all a great gym
