From the reviews
The newest building to open up on campus (2019). Has four floors with the best being the gym equipment. Just in front of the stadium. Has card free access till the lobby where you can sit on the sofa and has a small cafe. Post that card access required. Charges 45 USD per month for spouses.
Love the climbing center! Even if you never take the top rope orientation the bouldering section is never dull! They change it up every couple of weeks for variety 😁. Very friendly staff and the ManGo has delicious smoothies!
gets busiest around 10am and then after 7pm. otherwise, a very nice, new, clean gym with all of the athletic equipment you could ask for!
Just used the Rec Center for the first time and took a spin class! It was intense. The instructor was great and the facilities were beautiful. I learned the valuable lesson of stretching before...or else.
