Perhaps one of the best investments on campus. They have several floors of free weights, a track on the top floor, exercise machines galore, mat and wooden studio rooms with mirrors, a pool, basketball courts, and a climbing wall. They also offer programs for health and wellness, physical therapy, personal training, martial arts, dancing, boat/canoe/kayak stuff, climbing, you name it. Some bad parts are that the weight room is usually packed (they do have a lot of weights and machines, though, so you can usually get some sort of workout in) and they have pretty strict or expensive policies for guests (must be 18 or older, costs $10 to host a guest, etc.). If you're a student and you exercise, IMA is well worth the time to get there to do physical activities.
This is probably one of thw worst division 1 school student gyms in America. Majority worthless equipment, outdated flooring, and no capacity to handle the 40k students enrolled.
The weight room needs better ventilation in the back. Also a lot of the machines are spread between the bottom floor weight room and the main floor resulting in having to walk between floors for different machines. Overall great selection though and they have everything you need. Locker rooms are gross and need a remodel.
It has ANYTHING YOU WANT. Swimming pool, for one. Free weights. Even WATER YOGA.
Lots of cardio machines and a wide range of dumbbells, but there aren't nearly enough benches and squat racks. It also get super hot and humid in the weight room. They need to increase the ventilation so I'm not breaking a sweat just walking across the room.
Best place to work out and play basketball!
Not the gym for you if you're a serious weightlifter. I lift with a group of students and the management told us we weren't allowed to be there because weightlifters are "intimidating". Mind you, I simply go to the gym and lift like a normal person, nothing extreme. This, when there's hordes of groups from fraternities and sororities monopolizing equipment constantly. Definitely do not feel welcome here
Terrible gym, the positive reviews probobly come from people who don't know otherwise. Overcrowded with a floor plan that doesnt make sense. The scheduling is poorly advertised making keeping to a regular routine difficult during hollidays and summer vacation. The gym is literally inaccessible on football gamedays. There is no free parking and whenever there is a sporting event, even for unpopular sports, they charge additional fees for lot parking. If you have the opportunity to use another facility i recommend it. I have been disappointed countless times by this facility. On top of all of this, gym membership fees are charged to ALL students even if you dont use them.

First class facility. Anything from swimming to rock climbing and everything in between.

Love it ... The gym with three floors has a tonne of machines to work out with and a huge number of free weights. All the muscles can be trained from all angles! Other than that it has a swimming pool, basketball, volleyball, badminton, lawn tennis (outside), table tennis, playing ground (outside), beach volleyball (outside). They also have fun activities on Fridays such as roller skating, archery, log rolling. etc. They also host a bunch of classes and activities such as meditation, martial arts, dance, etc. All over great place to work on your mind and body!

Overall good gym. Not as receptive to feedback as they'd like people to believe (see complaints about them senselessly removing equipment on Reddit) and a little slow on maintaining other equipment.
I am a swimmer and I have used the IMA pool for years. This is such a great deal for the University community. Excellent facilities are a great price.

Good price, limited parking, the usual equipment, could use more mats, TRX, and bosu balls. Personal training is excellent. Private rooms and equipment
Have been to the tennis courts a bunch of times. They're in very good shape. Non UW persons can use the courts although students and faculty get priority through online reservation

Great facility but I feel like a dirty old man sometimes.
This is a big place with lots to do. There are 3 work out areas, a track, 5 multi use courts for basketball, volleyball, etc, a pool, large locker room with steam room and shower, and even a cafe for grab and go foods. It should be noted that despite it's size when this place is busy it's BUSY. Large crowds and no space to actually work out will be the case during peak hours.
Various activities available:
- Weight Lifting
- Lot of treadmills
- Indoor swimming pools
- Squash Tennis/Racquetball
- Badminton
- Basketball/Volleyball
- Badminton
- Outdoor: Tennis/Beach Volleyball/Soccer
Lot of lockers and showers (too open though)
All of these are free for UW students (include in tuition) and available to public with small membership fee
Easily transport by Link light rail and paid parking spots nearby
The IMA will nickle and dime you. Left belongings in locker and due to work schedule couldn't make it until today to renew. The personnel wouldn't even let you look to see if they had your correct belongings until your money was in their pocket. I paid good money to attend classes here. Due to this encounter I have decided to place my money elsewhere at a different gym. Don't waste your time with the IMA if you're a community member.
They have all the necessary facilities you need: basketball, volleyball, racquetball, tennis and badminton court, a swimming pool as well as a 3-floor gym. They also have equipment for rent!
Always overcrowded with college bros that like to hog equipments for 20-40 mins everyday. The bathroom is dirty and always seems to run out of soap.
The IMA is often busy. Great gym overall though
Parking and transportation access is awful. The facily layout is subpar. They have almost all the excercise equipment you need but the equipment is pretty dated. Most days I would rather go to 24 hour fitness.
Good place to work out for students and employees. Tend to be busy between 8-11am and 3-7pm. Three floors of exercise equipment, including an indoor track as well as basketball courts and pool. Around 6 racketball courts are available to reserve but most of the time, reservation is not necessary.
They are closed all the time. Saturday and Sunday hours in the summer are 11am to 630pm and 1pm to 530pm, respectively. I've never seen hours like that for a gym. They have a few million dollars of equipment sitting idle for what seems like a high proportion of the time.
Basically no air conditioning, too much equipment and machines people don't use and not enough squat racks. Weight room is ridiculously overcrowded.
Good facilities but the weight rooms constantly smell seriously of BO and there's no ventilation in there
I miss this gym. It was beautiful, clean, and nice when I was here. The sauna was the best!
Excellent facility. Lots to do and clean
