Texas Tech Recreational Center Review

Best place to swim in Lubbock! The lazy river is so great

Pretty sure that wasn't a leaf floating in the pool. One of the better college pools I've been to.

Great facilities! Especially in summer with no one here

This would have been higher if not for the lousy hours of business (and especially the confusing "family time"). Other than that, though, the lazy river is a very fun experience!

The air conditioning is fantastic, it's not all hot and stuffy. There's a good number of machines.

Great facility. Has what you need for a good workout!

Great place to work out! It can get packed at times, when it s the beginning of the semester, but you just can t beat the lazy river/pool (hopefully it opens soon) and the huge variety of gym equipment!

Best place to workout in a university environment. Climbing wall, track, basketball, swimming pool and hot tub, the lazy river, several areas for free weights, treadmills, elliptical machines, indoor hockey area.

Constantly overcrowded. If you're serious about working out, consider a membership at one of the other gyms in town.

Great place but the vending machines on the second floor need to be repaired/removed. Probably wasted $10 so far on them. Otherwise it's a great place.

Reasonable price, excellent facilities and equipment, and with the pandemic, small crowds! Win win win!

A good place to exercise
The best time to exercise at dawn

Because after such crowds and queues on the soft devices, the clock is nine o'clock at night.

Great place! Loved the lazy river. Easy to stay all day. People are friendly and staff is curteous.

It s my favorite place to workout. I made the mistake one day to go workout when I hadn t eaten all day and I almost passed out when they were about to close. The workers were very helpful and gave me everything I needed to feel better. They were super sweet and nice and I couldn t have asked for better people to help me out when this happened to me.

Attended a pool party at the leisure pool. A storm blew in and they opened up the indoor pool so the party could continue. Attentive lifeguards that rotate often. My kids took swim lessons at the leisure pool several years ago and I was always impressed with the instructors and the lifeguards.

Best place to work out. It has ping pong, basket ball, racket ball, squash, badminton, soccer and more!

Amazing rec facility with a climbing wall, indoor pool, outdoor pool, lazy river, and more.

This Center is open to buy passes but is automatically charged for undergraduate students it is a nice place that usually has quite a few people and some very fun classes that come with the base cost and some you can pay more for and the pool outside is great for young ones and there are also lap pools 4 people wanting exercise I definitely recommend this place as your main gym

Has a very extensive collection of free weights, and (clean, new) machines. This place is huge. There are like 8 (I think) basketball courts too.

Best swimming pool and rec center in town. While it is primarily for students you can check online and find family hours to bring everyone one with. There is $10 per person fee.

I'm no longer at Texas Tech student who's all allowed to vote at the recreation center you are the closest to my house and I am handicapped disabled Desert Storm Iraq Afghanistan veteran and I need a place to vote and I don't have transportation accessible to me at this time can I go vote at your Recreation Center because I only u.s. American citizen who fought for my country do I have to be a citizen to vote there I mean do I have to be a college student to vote there is that it doesn't seem fair

Best rec center have ever seen on a college campus. Huge Rockwall tons of basketball courts tons of exercise equipment. Have the best Leisure Pool in the country. Has a lazy river tons of outdoor options. All of the rec fields are artificial turf they're always in great

Very clean building, with tons of equipment and activities.

Really great facility, but a little too small for Tech's growing size.

There is no better place in any college for rec pool. It's amazing that we get to share it with the university during summer months

Great for Tech students, the rec center pretty much has everything including a place to borrow equipment. The gym has a pretty wide variety of machines.

Could use some upgrades in free and machine weight rooms. With the increase in students it's usually gets packed during peak hours.

Really enjoy the family hours at the leisure pool. Worth remembering that this is Lubbock (i.e. strong winds happen) Tables with umbrellas can tip over. We had an accident where that caused a food container to spill over. Thankfully the staff was able to help us clean it up.

Thanks TTU Rec Center Staff!!!

Excellent place for students and relatives, especially in Summer.

Crowded a lot of the day but has every piece of equipment you could need

Not the safest bet during COVID-19, make are required, but it s always packed. The rec is literally so nice inside and it is HUGE. I love the rec center, and it s by far my favorite place to workout. It s also just fun to go and play ping pong or Racket Ball or rock climb or whatever you do.

Good gym; can become crowded at times during the school semester

Great place to workout! Every weight and machine I need so I can be mad extra

It's surprising how many students aren't aware of the services offered to them that they are already paying for here.

Good amenities and good service even though covid, including a great rock wall

Lots of equipment, indoor track, and leisure pools are all amazing.

Facility is great and offers lots of activities. Exercise machines are high quality. Most equipment can be checked out from the service desk or purchased, so all I have to bring is a bottle for my water.

Good place for a casual workout but... They just got a bunch of nice wooden platforms with rubber landing mats, kilogram bumper plates, and decent barbells. And yet with equipment specifically designed for olympic weightlifting movements, you aren't allowed to drop the weights in that area. I would've liked to come here to train and use the equipment for what it was designed for....
