What parents say
Best place to work out ever. As a student, and a girl I felt completely safe here, sometimes being on your own on campus can be a little nerve wracking but I never felt this here. Very clean, and good machines. I loved it here. One of my favorite places on campus.
Really nice building with a lot of equipment. There are a basketball court, climbing wall, gym equipment, squash court, and running track.
WOW!! IF anyone is unaware of this place they need to find it. One of the nicest,cleanest gyms I've been in. All equipment is kept in VERY good shape. They have racquet ball courts, several basketball courts, plenty of treadmills and elliptical machines.
This is a very big well equipped and clean recreation center. I enjoy working out there. The classes during the semesters are also very fun and often there is a wide variety of them. Good job. The personal training space however does need to be renovated and upgraded a bit.
