From the reviews
This is a great gym that I have really enjoyed as an undergrad and still enjoy as an alumni. It has so many things to do if the typical weight room or cardio machines are not what you're looking for.
The University of Recreation HPER building in Fayetteville, AR is a fantastic facility for students and community members alike. With a wide array of amenities, from state-of-the-art fitness equipment to indoor and outdoor sports courts, there's something for everyone.
Great place for all sorts of activities. Full gym including free weights, various equipment and lots of cardio equipment. Basketball courts, climbing walls, swimming pools, racquetball courts, various classes offered. Clean, friendly and overall a great experience every time.
I'm a law student at UArk and the HPER allows all sorts of Arkansas individuals like students, faculty, grad students, grad assistants, athletes, alumni, and guests. Their machines are the newest technology and are very well kept and clean.
