Illinois Campus Recreation Reviews

Great place to work out and swim, always very clean and orderly

Nice/clean college recreation center that's packed with many different facilities. It's usually full of people but if you go at the right time then it's manageable. The gym seems pretty small considering the amount of kids that attend the college so be prepared to wait if that's where you go. For whatever reason, the badminton courts are almost always full so it's best to reserve a spot ahead of time if you plan to play.

The university charges all students for a service it can't provide to all the students in the middle of a pandemic. The slots available to use the gym are extremely limited and almost impossible to get a reservation. At the same time instead of opening more space it keeps closing spaces such as CRCE. Pushing students to not use the facilities.

Equipment is well maintained. Some of the staff are very nice. Some of the staff are incredibly rude. Gets very busy after the parking meters become free, so if you go in the evening expect to wait (especially for weights). Gym is very well supervised. Inclusion of a pool (indoor/outdoor) and a sauna makes it an overall above average gym experience.

A 4 flour gym with 2 swimming pool, 1 sauna, 1 3 flour high rock climbing wall. I had no idea it was that good.

When I went here it was called the IMPE Building for intramural and physical education. Tremendous facility encompassing virtually every sport or physical activity imaginable. I became a much better athlete here playing against people who were far better than I was.
