Nice staff they got here, and the facilities are top notch

Good gym but buy a really good lock. People steal from the locker room.

It's also too loud here during circuit days. My ear buds are nearly maxed out and I'm on another floor and I still have a hard time hearing over it.

I'm at the gym 2-4 times weekly. I get my gym membership with my student status. If I wasn't a student I'd be at a different gym.

Great set up. The center is well maintained. Absolutely love the attached parking garage.

Always clean. This rev center has the equipment and space to complete every facet of your recreational experience.

Good place to work out.

Great Rec! There are an adequate amount of machines and the track and lifting equipment are stellar.

Good enough gym, but an excellent pool. Though they seem to have trouble scheduling groups in it.

They do not allow guests to check out any equipment. I paid for a 5 day pass to come play basketball. After paying I asked if I could check out a basketball using my state ID and they said they would not let me check out a basketball or refund the 5 day pass. Would not recommend

The hours for this gym are horrible considering it is a big university rec center in a city. Gym should be open till 10 on weekdays and 8 or 9 on weekends. Closing at 6pm on a Sunday is really inconvenient. I went to a small college in rural Ohio and our gym had better hours than CSU.
The gym is otherwise convenient and has good equipment. Employees are nice and helpful.

Great gym but as other reviews mention the staff is sub par. Don't come to these courts on the weekends to play basketball. Tons of inner city rift raft take over the courts. And although there is an attendant there whose job it is to make sure the games are finished within an alotted time and that everyone plays, what happens instead is the "kid" is too timid to enforce the rules of the gym. I came to this gym multiple times with friends who had purchased a pass to play pickup and often times we would sit waiting our turn that never came. The same players would just keep saying they had next and the same teams would keep rotating. They were all the same type of person if you know what I mean. Like this is what they do. They would put fake names on the roster and say it was them Everytime it was time to switch. It was blatant and obvious. I brought it up to the attendant and he said he's not getting in between it. Worst of all it's what you would call ghetto ball. Tons of fights arguing cursing. Every now and then someone would try to play with their shirt off. Not the kind of atmosphere suited for the gym. Because the courts are centrally located you can hear the arguing and fighting even while you're working out. This is not an experience worth my money so I let my membership expire and I won't be going back or bringing anyone there. I am also an alumni of the university and used to attend the gym as a student and it was not the bad. So in summary, great gym and equipment. Horrible atmosphere, and customer service.

While the gym is fairly well maintained (cleanliness still could be improved), there are NO PAPER TOWELS in the locker rooms!! They removed all of them and went to blowers only, except for 1 unit, which is either empty or broken. We certainly pay enough for membership, it should include PAPER TOWELS!! Tried to relay comments to front desk and they said management wouldn't listen to them anyways, so nothing has been done. Put the freaking paper towel dispensers back in the locker rooms!!!!!

Awesome gym. Lots of equipment and awesome classes included in the membership. This is absolutely the cheapest gym downtown so for that reason I'd recommend. If you want a good full body workout I do not recommend the Zumba class they offer here. Much too slow even for me and I'm very overweight.

I am very happy with what gym can offer. However, i was very disappointed by what i experienced today. I went swimming the other day and i was told I could use the locker if I bring my own lock which i did bring it with me. I was not told i could not leave my things in the locker nor the locker had any indication that i can't use the locker overnight. when i got to the gym today , i realized that they took everything out of my locker. when i went to the front desk to talk with people they kept me half an hour to talk with their manager and to top it up , i was being ignored even after i talked with her. she put off to give me my things back.she was just doing it in purpose. I am a rule follower, I can barely remember when was the last time i broke a rule. But this time i don't feel like i am breaking the rule. First of all, it was not stated that i can't leave my thing there. Second of all, i should have told nicely to wait for a little bit (the truth is she was just ignoring me.) VERY DISAPPOINTED ;(

The facility and the programs they offer are absolutely amazing. It has a well trained and courteous staff and is nicely located in the center of the city. Very reasonable pricing.

A state of the art recreation center with something for everyone. 2 Olympic size pools, quality basketball courts, plenty of weightlifting equipment, as well as billiards, racquetball, ping pong, etc. Free for CSU students.

It's a great gym. I don't care for it since I like to work out in the dingiest no frills places.

October 24, 2017 15:33

Best place in the city for competitive basketball games. Cheap membership rates and good equipment.

October 24, 2017 15:33

It is a very good gym. Well-equipped with different facilities. Perfect for any type of excercise. Has a very good indoor pool.

The campus is always improving. I can't tell you how happy I am that they are finally investing in the engineering building. It was so poor before I found very little value in taking a computer engineering major but now I'd most definitely be interested!!!

Great gym with a lot of workout equipment options and plenty of floor space to stretch. They have a decent amount of treadmills, an indoor track, plenty of stationary bikes and two free weight areas, indoor courts for basketball, squash, racquetball, volleyball and a large swimming pool. The woman's locker room has empty daily use lockers available - bring your own lock. The only issue is parking around the gym.
