From the reviews

I really like working out here, they keep the place really clean, the staff is helpful and friendly. There's so many machines you're never stuck with nowhere to work out. They have lockers for your stuff and elevators to every floor, rock climbing, indoor pool, this gym just has everything.

★★★★★ — Kaydence, Feb 2025

The Barnes Center at the Arch is located at the campus of Syracuse University near Henricks Chalel. It is the ideal location between The Carnegie Library and the Dome. It houses the Health Center, Wellness Center and Athletics Stadium. It’s a busy place always. There is a medical store inside.

★★★★★ — Balasaheb, Feb 2020

It is one of the best health centers I've ever been to. There are so much things to do here. You can work out, get checked up, go swimming, gaming, basketball, soccer, volleyball, rowing, ping pong, badminton, and so much more. It's such a great place for health.
