From the reviews
This is NeArillaga (near-illaga) if you are looking for it! Great gym for students on campus open early and late to work with student's schedules. The entrance is a bit hard to find based on Google Maps, go to the East side, where the grass circle and all the bike racks are.
This building is currently being used to serve the community to provide covid vaccinations to the public. Stanford Medicine is taking multiple precautions to make the place safe as you enter the building to verify your eligibility and staying in line for your vaccine shot.
Great place to work out on campus. The good: lots of equipment and classes, friendly staff, very clean. The bad: you'll wait a long time for powerlifting racks at popular times, guest passes are not particularly cheap, equipment diversity could be better. The ugly: no locker room.
Great place for training, I mostly use gym, but there are other facilities available. Enough machines and gear, the place is clean and spacious. People visiting are mostly students. Can be crowded in evening hours.
