From the reviews

Friendly staff and a great variety of equipment for student use, wonderful experience

★★★★★ — Brent, Feb 2019

A great place for the students living on campus to take some time off from studies and chill and enjoy some recreation stuff. We had gone there for a silent disco and it was an amazing experience.

★★★★★ — Anshul, Jan 2020

One of yhe best thing of UTD is its vast and diverse culture. Every day there is some event happening at UTD

★★★★★ — Ashish, Oct 2021

Great for a casual low pressure workout. Conveniently located near the reshalls and dinning hall its has a limited amount of equipment but enough for those who aren't seeking a aggressive workout.
