Bear Creek Rec Center at CU Reviews

Nice rec center. Not open to the general public. Great classrooms, lots of work out facilies. Ice rink 4 pools (one outdoor) basketball, rock wall, and indoor soccer it just goes on. Come check it out.

Amazing gym, huge variety of options (weightlifting, boxing, tennis, basketball, raquetball, etc.), and positive atmosphere.

This is a remarkable Fitness Cathedral. It is not just a gym; it is a cathedral to fitness. May we all worship at its alter.

This is a great place for students to stay fit throughout the school year. Everything you need is here. Basketball, indoor track/turf, weight lifting, out/indoor pools. There are also tons of space and rooms available for non weight training such as cardio HIIT and other related stuff. If you take advantage of this place, youll definitely avoid the "Freshmen-15!"

Very nice rec center with modern and updated facilities. Despite the photos, the buff pool is never open.

Ice cold shower and hand sink in the men s locker room

Lots of space, with immense number of equipments. Multi floored place with indoor swimming pool, ice rink and 3 basketball courts. Best place to workout for all the CU students

It offers fitness, weigh-lifting, squash, volleyball, basketball, swimming, badminton, ice-skating, hockey, and climbing gym for students and public

Amazing facility! The options are unlimited and the quality is superb. The staff are friendly and helpful. The weight room gets crowded during peak hours, but it is still very big. Save your money from renting a locker. There are always plenty available of you don't mind carrying your bag.

Great place i just wish there were more guided tours while I work out.

Perfect fitness facilities, can provide some ball and towel rental

Nice rec center with tons of equipment and sports facilities. I think you can play any sport you could want here

The rec center is great, with facilities for basically every sort of recreational or exercise activity I've wanted to do there. One thing I discovered recently is that it's actually quite affordable for students or faculty to sign up their spouses for a membership.

Recommend coming here it's a great place really love the view of the mountains it's so beautiful one thing I hate is the walk to lunch 10 mins

Just the most amazing facility! The staff and students at CU are incredibly lucky. The basketball courts have two storey high windows that face the mountains. Indoor skating rink, new gym equipment and excellent squash courts, indoor climbing gym and pool. Yoga and dancing classes are available too

My favorite place to workout in Boulder! They have so many workout areas for all kinds of workouts!

The school makes too much money to not renovate this building

If I had more motivation I'd be here every day! Thankfully it's nice enough that I at least get motivation every once and a while. I feel like I'm walking into a fancy health club without the drunk Pilates moms and that's the best. The only thing I wish I could find was a floor plan layout. It is pretty big and can be hard to maneuver if you don't know your way around really well. I feel like I find a new area every time I'm in there.

A beautiful campus with the flatirons as a backdrop is simply epic.

Love the school. I would never leave if I attended there. The views are breathtaking

Do not try to drive here. Parking lots are a bit farther away. I come from a town with multiple recreation options and centers, this gym has some options I can t get anywhere else. If it s fitness related, head to this gym. Every CU student should at least check this place out and see what they re paying for.

Nice rec center, many equipments and the view is awesome! Super clean!

This is a really large gym with almost all kinds of facilities. Can't really complain about anything

The amount of things you can do here is awesome. Rock climbing, swimming, ping-pong, ice hockey, weight lifting, basketball - you can do it all here. The best part is, while you do all of these things, there's an amazing view just out the window.

Amazing facilities for body fitness ( Gyming, Dancing etc) as well as sports

Well maintained and lot of options to find your fit. The staff is courteous and friendly.

Best place to workout. After living in Europe and several places in USA, I find it best in terms of multiple facilities. All sports activities, weight lifting rooms and many more things ....Last but not least, very friendly employees.

Can't beat a 300k sf gym. Ice rink, climbing wall and weight room.

Apt place to burn calories and get fit. Has all the required facilities including rock climbing and ice-skate rink.

Great facility, modern equipment and a lot to do in here.

On campus recreation center is top of the line. Ice hockey arena, basketball courts, running track on the 2nd level. Soccer field inside as well. Great weight room and exercise facility!

Considering you pay an arm and a leg for an education, you can sufficiently work out an arm and a leg here. (awesome gym)

This is a very, very nice rec center. There are 3 pools, a huge climbing/bouldering wall, tennis and basketball courts, multiple areas of cardiovascular machines (treadmill, elliptical, etc,) cable and plate weight machines and free weights. All equipment is new since the 2014 remodel. Also, the people are all very healthy and friendly.

Excellent Gym (If you're a student), but it becomes a crowded mess in the first couple weeks of a new academic year. Overeager freshmen that wont stick around long. Lacks some very specific selections of body-weight equipment.

Very nice facility but free parking is a pain and it gets very busy with students during the school year at certain times of the day (mainly afternoon/evening). For how advanced the facility is the one thing missing is a nice pool. There is a buffalo shaped pool which is a nice gimmick but not practical as it is outside and closed from mid September until early May. It would have been more practical to spend that money on a nicer indoor lap pool as the one currently there is from the 60s.

We have been there for attending my son's graduation ceremony. It is well arranged in their stadium .

The place is perfect for recreational purposes, one of the best places in Colorado

(Five Stars)^1000 out of 5. The CU Boulder Rec Center makes being a gym rat a positive thing. All your reps and weight amounts will instantly go up! Wunderbar!

I had the great honor of being able to know this University, I just loved it. Amazing University! Excellent academy

Amazing facility for CU students to be healthy in a fun way

Great facilities. Pool, running track, soccer field, ice rink, weight rooms, cardio areas, rock climbing, and more. Not to mention all the student employees are great, and the locker rooms and support areas are great.

A lot of machines, space and facilities! Would reccomend.

It is a nice facility. Although it can be very busy in school time.

It's a great facility. But feels a little over the top...

Impressive and has everything anyone would ever need including an indoor soccer field.....how about that?

WORLD CLASS venue. The semi recently renovated Rec center has a great vibe, plenty of things available and the views of the Flatiron from the north window are simply SPECTACULAR. Very easy to forget why you're at the Rec.

incredible facilities for the general public and student population. highly recommend

I'd stay in school longer just to have access to the Rec. Absolutely love the faculty and equipment. Great place to work out!!

Ballin out of control, likely the nicest gym I've ever had membership to. .....but don't go there, best keep it a secret ;)

Good for students. A lot of chlorine is in the swimming pool. I had good tennis classes there

If you want to have a good time at the gym, the pool, play soccer, volleyball, basketball ... There's nothing better than this place

During my time in CU Boulder, I spent most of my time here. The perfect REC center inside out, can easily spend hours in here and every thing is available, free weights, lifting rooms, machines, 20 different type of cardio machines. I miss this place and highly recommended

One of the best gyms you will find. Unfortunately the new weight room was not well designed, and uses non-standard barbells and racks designed by someone who doesn't lift.

Great place to work out. The Bouldering Gym and Ice Rink are awesome faciliities.

Great place to work out. Best pool staff I ve ever had

Really nice after all the latest editions. Reasonable pricing.

My daughter (a high school junior) and I visited the campus for a women in engineering day. It was an excellant introduction into their engineering program. Great tours, great programs. They answered lots of questions.

Huge variety of ways to work out. Rock climbing, swimming, weight lifting, basketball courts, ice rink, turf field, and on and on
