- 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

From the reviews
Great gym with excellent facilities and atmosphere Carmichael Gym at NC State is an excellent facility with a wide range of equipment and spaces for all types of workouts.
Amazing gym, very clean and tons of space. Large windows cover most of the center allowing lots of natural light to come in. A great place to work out with some seating by the entrance and lower floors. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Amazing gym for the price. My wife is a student, so I get the household member's rate. Locker rooms are clean and very spacious. I have been mostly using the pool in the afternoons and having a good experience.
The Wellness and Recreation Center, coupled with the Carmichael Gym, offers an unrivalled wellness and fitness experience. The equipment is modern and well-maintained, and the space is large and airy, allowing everyone to work out in comfort.
