It is a nice, clean looking gym, but size-wise, I fear it would be inadequate during the major semesters. It has tons of treadmills and such, but it only has TWO rowing machines (as confirmed by the front desk). This is my go-to machine now days so Id hate to have to wait 30 mins to use it. The locker room only has a handful if showers and something like 50 lockers. Apparently there is only 1 pool and it seems to start out at 5ft deep, so its not for beginners. Lol The chopped up, limited pool hours are a mild let down: 10am-1pm but on M & F out is open again in the evening. The staff was nice attentive/informative enough (Kevin is very easy to talk to). I want to give it 3 stars due to how inadequate it is...but I feel it would be 4 or 5 stars if it was built for a tiny school. So ill give it 4 stars.

Great place to workout! Parking is absolutely ridiculous though..... 1hr parking only so make your workout fast and that is IF you even find a spot on the street to park. The only other problem is how crowded it gets during the semester when all the college kids are there. Best time for adults to workout is early in the morning before 11am. Additionally, this isnt your sissy planet fitness gym.... you can put on some real muscle with the assortment of great workout equipment they have or tone it done on their indoor running track.

This is an awesome place to workout! Great workout area with free weights. Machines and a ton of treadmills, bikes and ellipticals. Full court basketball to play. Mini indoor track and a rock climbing wall !!! They also have a swimming pool but is limited due to the swim team workouts. Bathroom is super clean and the students are very friendly who run the desk.

Great place, staff is nice and ready to help. Some exercise machines are in bad shape but there are so many that you can always find a good one. The racquet ball courts are my fav! They have a climbing wall, pool, basketball, volleyball courts you name it. Very crowded in the afternoon, go late and enjoy.

Great Gym with plenty of machines and plenty of options for workouts. There is an indoor track, rock wall, racquetball rooms and a pool. There are lots of classes offered including cycling and zumba. THey also have great rates for those that are not students.

This is a great gym, with a lot of different activities, classes, and equipment available (e.g. Racquetball courts, basketball courts, rock climbing wall, spin studio, and Crossfit). The hours are pretty decent. My only complaint is the lack of parking.

This gym has everything, from basketball and racquetball courts, to free weights, to cardio and cable machines, plus a rock wall climbing center! Great place to get in a great workout before, between, or after class.

It is the best gym I have ever been, the only problem with it is ; the shower curtains need to be replaced every semester because of mold.

Sometimes the staff can be rude. Threatening to kick you out for using the wrong plates to deadlift.

Checkout the outdoors adventure program and try some rock climbing as well.
