Great place to work out for students. Free membership for students with a student ID. It is the best place near the university that you can exercise and meet other college students. Highly recommend!

Fully equipped center-with separate gyms/rooms for cardio, weights, basketball and so on, allows you to do any workout. Indoor and outdoor pool, which is a nice way to spend time with friends.

Great place to spend your free time on campus. I go during the day and usually have a court to myself for basketball. Can get pretty crowded at night time. Workers are very friendly and helpful.

This rec center is free for students, but is definitely worth money! The yoga class is one of my favorite things to do as a Monday night wind down. The staff is really friendly and the rooms are clean

Free with student ID! Also household memberships available. There are a ton of group classes offered. It can be a bit crowded, but that's not a bad thing when you're new and want to meet people.

You can play almost every sport that you want to do. You can play basketball, racket ball, tennis on outside courts, handball etc. You can also find a big fitness center for a perfect work out.

Includes work-out facility, basketball gyms, indoor/outdoor swimming pools, Zumba, etc. Small workout room and mostly crowded the few months before spring break. Must have a student ID to get in.

Tera JonesNovember 21, 2016
Free with your student ID. They have all of the workout equipment needed to get a full workout. Don't go alone at dark though. Right after breakfast is the best time for open machines.

The sauna here is awesome after a good workout. Try out the zumba classes that are offered throughout the week nights if you want to workout and have fun.

The rec has tons to do from swimming and lifting weights to playing basketball and spin class. One of the best places to do stuff on campus!
Isabelle HornsbyOctober 12, 2016
Great place to workout. Go in the mornings and at night, way less busy. Otherwise, it's crowded with dudes that grunt while they workout and stare at you.

Took a few kids here for summer swimming lessons. The instructors were friendly and patient. There are also private swimming lessons held here.

I love hitting the core room near the back and then the sauna next to the pool after every workout.

Be careful if out too late at the rec center. Call campus police for an escort to your car or dorm.

Free for students and they offer different classes.

Try one of our group fitness classes today: Ab Lab at 4; Cycle at 5; Zumba at 6; or Yoga at 7.
Averill ConwayOctober 12, 2016
I only exercise here if it's a last resort, the deciding factor being weather. Be prepared to wipe down machines prior to and after your workout as others don't bother to do it at all.

4 o'clock is not good time to go to the Rec Center. It is way too crowded; mostly by men whose presence may make women feel uncomfortable.
