About

Recreation center featuring a fitness center, tennis courts, a pool, and facilities for basketball, volleyball, and racquetball.

The indoor pool at University Recreation is typically heated to 80-82 degrees Fahrenheit (26.7-27.8 Celsius). The outdoor leisure pool is also heated to 80-82 degrees Fahrenheit (26.7-27.8 Celsius).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this gym are mixed. Many users praise the extensive range of machines and equipment, calling it a 'happy place' with great amenities like an indoor track, and noting improvements in equipment over time. It's considered a good spot for weightlifting, especially during off-peak hours. However, common complaints include long lines for ID scanning, even for students, and inconsistent entry policies, as one 15-year-old was denied re-entry after a previous visit without issue.

Im a 15 year old and went one time recently without issue and I paid for the day pass and I played basketball for awhile without causing problems and I came back and they didn’t let me in this time.

I don’t know what the issue is but there’s always a line just to scan ID. Even if you’re a student taking classes they still make you wait. I highly recommend you get a gym membership elsewhere if you can afford it.

Best place on campus to get swole (so I've heard) and if you go early in the day then you'll easily get access to the squat rack. Someone needs to address the Pikachu problem in the rower tho, keeps messing up my reps.

I like to visit whenever I'm back in town. Reminds me of my college days. New equipment since I graduated 10 years ago which is nice.
