From the reviews
I work out here on a regular basis. This is not just a gymnasium, but a full fledged recreation center that rivals all commercial gyms! I was in awe of the number of workout machines present. It has never been overcrowded while I have been there, and it is state of the art and clean.
Great gym take advantage of it being free while being a student if you find yourself still here as an alumni it is 33 a month which isn't bad & 22 for guest pass which is good. The pool, track, and locker rooms are spacious and generally kept clean for the traffic & compared to other UNT buildings of this age.
You need your UNT ID to enter this building. There are more activities to do. You can swim, climb wall, walk, run, play basketball, yoga, ..... What ever you want. If you need an instructor to do exercise you need to pay for it otherwise you can freely access everything. Clean and properly maintained place.
Awesome facility that has a nice variety of activities. They often have free events like free rock wall climbing during the first few weeks of the semester. They also host things like ladies night at the rock wall where its free to climb.
