  • Gear rental nearly every climbing gym rents shoes (~$5–8 typical) and chalk; harness rental is often bundled with a ropes pass
  • Waiver always required at climbing gyms — sign it online before you go to skip the front-desk line
  • First timer? bouldering needs zero experience — rent shoes and walk in; staff will point you at the easiest problems
  • Yoga & fitness mentioned alongside the climbing — ask about the class schedule and what a pass includes

From the reviews

STUDENTS OF UTSA: We are charged around $250 a semester to utilize this rec and it's worth it. They offer kickboxing, yoga and other group classes as well as a pool/wet area. The Rec holds many different types of machines in the downstairs area as well as free weights.

★★★★★ — Shelby, Jan 2019

Best gym in town in my opinion. You can pay on a monthly basis and there's no contract. The closure and reduced hours dates can be somewhat inconvenient but it can't be helped since the majority of the staff are students.

★★★★☆ — Jorge, Dec 2017

Great facility. They have an indoor track, various treadmills, group exercise classes, at least two free weight stations that I know of, a bunch of weight training machines, basketball court, volley ball, and I'm sure a ton of other things I don't even know about. The building is very large.

★★★★★ — Jenn, May 2018

Fantastic recreation center for students. They just opened the pool back up as well, so that's a bonus. The gym has plenty of space for basketball, weightlifting, running, and they offer a variety of classes. My personal favorite are the free outdoor recreation equipment rentals.
