From the reviews

All the equipment I might want. Especially crowded at 4-9PM. If you want help, people are very friendly to teach you or spot you. The green shirts (staff) are available, too.

★★★★★ — Jd, Apr 2017

An excellent and clean gym area, honestly no other complaints other than there not being enough benches on Monday, but that's only because it's chest day for most people. Nobody bothers you there, all you have to do is swipe your school ID and finish your workout and leave.

★★★★★ — Sean, Feb 2020

The activity center is really a place if you want to play, entertain, or do a good time spending in the campus. It has equipped with all latest things and it's a worth look for. Also it's always busy in evening so if you want to enjoy something without less audience , you can go early morning or evening.

★★★★★ — Kawaljeet, Feb 2020

The best place in the UTD campus to chill and relax after a stressful day of studying. Furthermore, the place is also considered the best place to start your day productive: doing the early morning workout.
