the facility is absolutely beautiful, the machines and weights are more than satisfactory (besides the lack of a decent cable row machine) but the facility suffers from one fatal flaw, the attendees. By no means am I a body builder, but I understand basic gym etiquette. In contrast, some of the huge number of people who perpetually fill this gym do not. Many benches are left sweaty and unwiped after use, people rack their weights incorrectly and leave bars and attachments around the cable machines. There seems to be a general lack of respect for the facility by the users and the floor goes largely unsupervised, which does not help. If you come here, get used to waiting and "how many sets you got left".
This used to be the best gym in California. The view is still stunning and the building is still a work of art, but the equipment now is trendy junk. The good old strength training machines are gone and in their place is "functional" training junk. What a shame.
The rest of the sports complex is interesting. In another building are racquetball courts and punching bags (go downstairs). There are tennis courts and swimming pools. There's a free track and exercise court. And the view...the best view on the Central Coast.
A great center it gets a little full during classes but otherwise is great. The views from the second floor are amazing during a workout.
There are relatively small number of equipments and weights considering the number of students.

Good enough but very busy and over crowded

Beautiful views. Usually overcrowded all through the day. Ameturish undergrads hog the machines and specially the weight racks. Some of the ways people swing or drop the weights are down right dangerous. The more novice the user the less respect they have for the fellow users of the facility. The strange thing is, the floors are not monitored with eyes for health and safety issues. During the busy hours acquiring a locker space might be an issue. There's no change or locker room and you can not take a shower. Only 2 bathrooms downstairs that are always already occupied.

A bit too small considering the amount of students on campus.

Awesome
Its more cramped then some of the other UC Gyms however there is allot of open air and natural light. No shower facilities in the gym.
Overall pretty swell experience. Just one down side is when it gets crowded it gets really hard to find machines to use. I wish that OPERS was bigger that way everyone can get a machine they want and not have to stand around waiting to take turns or until a person if finished with their reps.
Lots of nice equipment, but pretty packed.
