Plan your visit
- Day pass around $10 — check current rates; most gyms price gear rental separately and discount off-peak
- 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
- Memberships available — worth asking about if you'd climb more than a few times a month

What's inside
“They have many squat racks, plenty of bench presses, plenty of cardio machines, several excellent pools, an indoor running track, and a climbing wall.”
What climbers say again and again
“Spartan Recreation center is not expensive compare to why you get, it’s extremely clean, the equipment is fantastic and I can bring my wife for small charge.”
“-There are 3 swimming pools, which includes a 15 lane lap pool, plus diving board, a kiddie/lounge pool area & a pool w/ 4 lane lap pool plus open water swim area.”
“Can be crowded at times but the pool here is good, cheap reasonable prices too, even cheaper if you are a student at SJSU.”
From the reviews
SJSU’s pool might be one of the best well kept secrets (speaking as someone who is not connected to SJSU in anyway). The facilities are so new that if you look at Google Map’s standard top down view, the building shape is that of the building it had replaced.
In A Nutshell: -The brand-new $130 million Spartan Recreation and Aquatic Center is awesome! -The community waited for about 2 years for this place to open & it finally did right before summer 2019.
Spartan Recreation center is not expensive compare to why you get, it’s extremely clean, the equipment is fantastic and I can bring my wife for small charge. The staff is friendly and they have a lot of cardio equipment and two pools. This makes it easy to spread out!
Outstanding addition to SJSU! Love that they've set up memberships that bring the community in too, but without taking away from the students. The summer pool pass was fantastic and affordable and we'll definitely sign up next year again.
