From the reviews
Beautiful new facility with many bball courts, racquetball, squash, free weights, exercise machines, Olympic pool, even a little climbing wall. So happy to have it on campus.
Not only is this a beautiful campus with a stunning stadium I somehow got lost and ended up at the open door of the men's locker room, I found myself face to face with some outstanding plumbing, these five stars are for dude with the dimples and a smile that made my knees quiver
This facility specifically the pool is amazing. It is a beautiful blue color and it looks pretty new and the locker rooms are ginormous and there is a separate cooldown and warmup pool and the blocks are nice. Truly a wonderful pool.
Literally the best gym I've ever been to. THERES SO MUCH. Amazing definitely go here
