From the reviews
Wonderful gym with tons of equipment, activities, and diversity! The Sanderson Center located on Mississippi State University's campus has everything from a competitive swimming pool to a juice bar.
Absolute good place, if you love sports and outdoor recreation. All equipped gym, with locker facility. Nice indoor swimming pool inside. You can hire a trainer. The entire facility is ‘ free’ if you are Mississippi state student. Else, you can pay for it. But this is totally worth.
Awesome facility with very friendly staff. Students, faculty and other people go there and everyone on the basketball courts were nice and not taking anything too serious. No masks required which was probably the best thing vs New Mexico (where I live). Definitely looking forward to hitting the courts again sometime.
Great facility of rec activities of nearly all kinds. From Yoga to Climbing walls! Only thing that's a little inconvenient is that there's no much Spectator Space in the Natatorium for Swim Meets.
Adaptive climbing
Sanderson Center is mentioned for adaptive climbing or paraclimbing — sessions, equipment, or coaching that make the walls climbable for people with disabilities. Offerings like this vary a lot gym to gym and schedules change, so call ahead to ask what's available and when the next session runs.
