UCI Campus Recreation Review

Great place to work out as a student of UCI. It does get packed at certain times of the day, but if you go in the morning there should be no issue of getting any of the machines. They have pretty much all the machines you could need as well as a pool that is nice to go for a few laps.

The most beautiful ball park ever! It's literally a treat to come here.Added touch with all the great bars & restaurants that are directly across the street. Many good food vendors inside as well as a ton of different beer options.

Caltrain stops right in front as well which is great because parking is about $30 nearby

Lots of equipment and very spacious. Hand scan entrance is horrible tho. It takes so much time and is really annoying

The best equipped and most reasonably priced gym in the area.

It's has really good amenities for a good price. Very clean...quiet in the mornings when I workout.

Woa sweet dude tuition comes with a paid membership!!! I didn t know that but I know that now and this is awesome because the gym is awesome!

They have several wheelchair accessible machines. Including 2 cardio handcycles and cable weights. The general staff is not well educated on these machines but the Director of fitness and wellness (Courtney Burke's) was well informed. She took the time to show me where the machines are located and how to use them.

The parking arrangements are annoying to say the least.

UCI's pride. It's huge! and has everything you need.

A really nice gym in the community. Usually crowded at late noon and night though.

Nice big place, lots of classes, like f45, boxing, rock climb. There is a big swimming pool and in door track. Awesome place. had a great open day with lots of demos classes and I would recommend to all UCI students and people living nearby

Pure awesomeness! Nice workout workshops and recreation activities.

Clean facilities and friendly staff. There is plenty to do there

This is a very good place to work out, and it has everything you can ask for from a gym. There are heavy weights, group exercise classes, dance studios, heavy bags for boxing, a matted room for martial arts and wrestling, a pool... This is exactly what I want in a fitness center, and it is well worth the money!

Go around noon or so to avoid the crowds. Also not really busy during the weekends either.

Impressive site, lots of fields, tennis courts, ample parking and clean bathrooms

I got $20 stolen from my wallet in my backpack here.

It's a great gym with free classes and tons of things to do. It's really large as well so as long as it's not post new Years, there is plenty of space

Great sports fields with plenty of room for every sport possible. Grass is short cut and almost in perfect condition.

What idiot decided it was a good idea to lock up the outdoor areas at 7pm when that's the exact time it starts to actually cool down in the Summer???

Great place to exercise! Would definitely recommend!

great facilities, friendly staff. They have an indoor track and a pool in the back. Its worth the membership

From atop the 17-foot high walls at LA Boulders, a bouldering-only gym with several locations scattered around the LA area, you'll feel like you can do anything! That is, of course, unless you're afraid of heights and too terrified to shimmy your way down the well-marked exit route. Either way, LA Boulders is definitely worth checking out if you've been meaning to cross bouldering off your bucket list or just looking to kill a few hours with some good ol' exercise.

Great workout spot with diverse, quality equipment. The only downside so far is that you can't bring your gym bag on the floor and lots of the weight room stuff is constantly in use and you might have to wait.

Lots of parking space. Pricey if you're just a visitor however.

Want to be surrounded by a bunch of young college kids who make you either feel super old, super hot, or super subconcious. This is the place to go! The place is pretty big, with everything you need to get fit - pool, basketball court, field, weights, treadmills, and even a snack place. I personally enjoy chillin at the pool, dancing in one of the empty rooms, and working out my beautiful Santa belly.

Nice gym with 2 weight rooms 4 basketball courts, and nice pool. Missing a sauna. Steam room, jacuzzi, and ice bath. Pilates classes with Sebrina or Alina is an awesome core workout.

Clean! Be prepared to pay for parking ticket or get "fined" with a parking ticket!

How are you going to make us pay for a twitch account for Late Night this year? We're already paying an arc fee without having the arc open to us and I've been going to all of the Late Nights since freshman year.

Great facility, always improving, top of the line equipment and classes.

Great facility! Would like to see a greater emphasis on barbell space, but otherwise couldn't be happier with the gym.

Lots of great equipment. Several squat racks and weightlifting platforms, and a GHD!!

Went to the ARC for Late Night during welcome week. It was a lot of fun. There were tons of activities and athletic clubs showing up and giving quick lessons. If you are new to UCI I'd recommend going to this event.

Too busy anytime that's not the morning or weekends. Nice equipment though.

ARC is a great, great place for every anteater and family to go to.

Fantastic gym. Huge facility with multiple areas for various sports and activities. You can play pretty much any sport here except grass field sports. They even have a squash/racquetball courts!. They have two main weightlifting gyms that are fully equipped with squat racks, benches, dumbbells, and plenty other workout gear and machines. The atmosphere is nice and the temperature is just right, too. It can be a little crowded at times also. If you're a student the arc is free, but I'm not too sure about regular membership.

The ARC is like my second home. In all honesty, I only have membership so that I can come play pickup basketball with friends. The competition is petty good most of the time and it s a great way to stay in shape. The gym and its facilities are always clean and the staff is usually pleasant. I usually stray away from the big weight room and work out in the smaller one at the end of the hall.

The lifting space, specifically squat racks, is insufficient for the demand and this gym is full of bros who act like anyone who isn't a block of muscle is invisible. They ignore other people waiting letting other bros cut in front to use the racks when they are done, and there is an amazing sense of entitlement , with guys just reserving a space while they aren't actually using it and preventing others from using it under the guise of saying they are actively using it. There should be a system to queue up for using the racks because the current system just lets bros be bros.

Good facility, it misses a sauna... but OMG this place is always so crowded! Why can't UCI expand it a bit?!? Amazing prices for UCI community though

Great facility, beautiful pool, but often crowded with no sauna or hot tub.

Great facility. Nice football field and tennis courts. Good gym and equipment. Good lighting for night time. Parking can be challenging but they have a huge parking structure.

Lots of people at peak hours can make the facilities a little crowded. But overall good place to hangout and get a workout or play sport.

A very nice gym with just about everything you could want to do. Gets very busy during peak hours. Surprisingly clean and well taken care of for a university gym

Great gym! I am there almost every day of the week. I love the F45 classes. All of the instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend to all students and faculty or just generally anyone with access.

Good recreation center with a large set of amenities. They have biometric scanners with an ID tag which is convenient for entry. Large gym, indoor basketball courts, pool, weight room, and tennis courts. They offer many classes such as yoga, martial arts, and culinary courses. Overall clean and modern experience

Useless and rude staff, plz do training before they work at ARC.

It's an amazing gym.. Gigantic and with many things to do.

They offer very diverse options for working out. There is a rock walls and a track above the basketball courts. There is also a very good "gym" set up. Very nice staff.

Can get a bit crowded, but has plenty of amenities and equipment. A great hub for students and faculty to exercise in a welcoming environment.

Great university gym for student. May get crowded at times.

Restrooms closed on the field but they have it in the building

Amazing Sport complex for UCI Student. 5$ for non UCI students. A lot of equipments available, really nice pool!

Good equipment, nice lighting, very welcoming environment

Great place to workout. Love it here. I can get crowded, but it is not that bad.

High class gym that is equiped with high grade gym equipment and best basketball courts, squash court and tennis courts along with badminton and make shift basket ball court. The swimming pool her eis world class with heaters. Also has some fitness, yoga , and other training classes details to which is online. I would infer the experience to be worth every penny.

The building has an open gym and pool that is free for students and home to many rooms and facilities for sports practices, group fitness events, and culinary classes. A small healthy snackbar is located near the building entrance. Field and outdoor sports and events have very large fields located near some housing communities and two different entrance gates that will be closed at night. Takes a while for the campus bus to come around at this stop. You can see the disneyland fireworks at either the top of the parking lot or at the far end of the field near the housing area at night.

I come here to work out and play basketball almost every day! It's a great place and the staff are very friendly.
