Strom Thurmond Wellness & Fitness Center Reviews

I play racquetball here all time and have taken ballroom and Latin dance lessons here also. I love Strom. Not only is it huge, the skylights and windows bring in so much natural, invigorating light. The rock wall is great too, I always push myself to climb it at least once every year. The staff are super friendly.

Very clean and various equipments for health training

A really nice recreation center. I like how organized and their stuff.

Gym itself is great with equipment selection, although it's often overcrowded. The digital lockers in the locker room are mostly all busted or broken and have been for years so I'd suggest bringing your own lock

Great place to workout, shower, learn, relax. Hours are unpredictable though during holidays so call before a holiday.

Strom is open to all USC student with their Carolina Card. I mainly stick to the rock wall, because I like to send it; and because there s not another rock wall near Columbia. #fullsend

Love to hit those weights and pump that iron #yoked

This gym is fantastic. Easily the best gym I've had the pleasure of going to.

This place is best equipped with many games, swimming pool, sauna, jacuzi, and damn good gym.

Being a USC student is required, but best gym is Columbia.

The Strom (it s name in itself is perhaps the most South Carolina thing that has ever been) is at least impressive as a recreational center. It has an indoor track, multiple pools, a weight room, a rock climbing wall, etc. While thot patrol usually commandeered the ellipticals and chad mclifts-a-lot always flooded the weight room, the indoor track was at least usually not crowded nor judgmental. The one occasion I tried to use the lap pool, a group of guys attempting to relive their swim team days literally swam me out of every lane I tried to move to. The adjacent hot tub was also suddenly the scene of some amateur music video which I have yet to find on YouTube.

Modern and spacious exercise facility open only to USC students and faculty/staff. I can only rate the pools which are small and mostly shallow, which I find quite bizarre, given the size of the facility and the expense of building it. The staff which is mainly students is generally uninvolved and unresponsive. Since I find this to be the case across the board, I have to assume that the problem lies with the way they are being supervised. When there is an issue that needs reporting, it never goes anywhere unless one goes straight to the top.

Can sometimes get crowded but you just have to go at the right time of day. Staff is friendly and have everything you could need for a gym

Very good gym, and very good for basketball play, I like second floor.

It's a big fitness center on UofSC campus. All the workout epuipment you could ever want along with basketball courts, racket ball courts, a pool, and climbing wall.

Very nice workout facility at the University of South Carolina

This place has everything fitness that you'll ever need.

I hate when they change the closing time on Friday from midnight to 10pm

Awesome facility with 5 basketball courts, a track, pools, and of course weights and more. A really cool gym worth hitting up!

The gym is really nice!! It should be open for longer hours!!! Especially during the summer.. what the heck

It's huge; many many sports/activities are available! One of best gymnasium I have ever seen.

Student only but great gym beats any local gym has everything.

Lots of facilities for both strength training and cardio exercises. Trainers are available upon request. Rock climbing, racquetball, squash, Sauna and spa available. Great complex.

Modern facility centrally located. Has new exercise equipment and is very well managed by students and staff. Currently, It's not very crowded and sanitized very regularly by students. Everybody is required to wear a mask and clean the equipment that they touch Before & After use. Because of its central location downtown, parking is a major problem.. Personal trainers and staff are very reliable for a very nominal charge and I would encourage everybody to use them. This was facility is an example of how our tax dollars are used for students and encouraging health and fitness for all students.

USC students use the gym it's apart of your tuition anyway. It's a great facility with state of the art equipment and one of the hottest saunas in Columbia....

With two pools, 4 full basketball courts, half a dozen activity rooms, and a huge weight room Strom Thurmond had nearly everything for a good workout. The staff are also very genuine and dedicated.

favorite place to workout. got a ton of classes and equipment plus a great dry sauna.

Great fitness and wellness center. Particularly love the Little Gamecocks Learn To Swim program.

Strom is open to any university of south carolina student with their carolina card. There's an indoor and outdoor pool, a rock climbing wall, and a gym, just to name a few. A great place to hang out while on campus.

Strom is a phenomenal facility. The rock wall is 3 stories tall. There is an indoor and outdoor pool, a hot tub and a sauna.

The top floor had exercise machines and a 200 meter track. Most of the machines have TVs where you can catch a show while exercising. The staff are very friendly and there is a plethora of equipment you can rent.
Parking is the only small downside to Strom.

Beautiful facility and a tremendous asset to students at USC.

Very friendly staff and helpful. Great place to workout. Has an outdoor and indoor pool. There's a rock climbing station too. The students have benefit to borrow paddles and racquets and nice facility.
