It is small. Shallow and you can not dive. People from the gym come to the swimming pool, Jacuzzi and sauna, and no shower before. People from outside walk inside without taking their shoes off. It is not neat. Not hygienic place.
Excellent equipment and facilities but for the love of God get a deadlift area!
Im giving this only one star because of unprofessional behaviour of the staff here, I had messages appoiappointment on Saturday morning at 10am and I was there on time, I received a phone call from the messages center telling me that they have to cancel and there is no one else to substitute. Seriously how professional is this, not the day before not at least an hour before but right at the appointment time. I guess they don't teach them professionalism before they graduate, or they don't give a dam about it.
Way too packed and not enough squat racks for a student population composed of thousands of students.
College is proving to be very stressful, but the recreational center keeps me sane. There are so many things to do here that I'm never bored and it pretty much has everything from rock climbing, swimming, running, to working out, etc. You name it and they probably have it.
Great if you're a uic student, horrible if you are not
The people there clearly love the horses and are extremely knowledgeable
One of the best recreation and sport facilities I have ever seen
Around 6 to 9 you gotta get lucky to get an empty bench
The sauna is always off! There are a lot of people socialing while working out! Every time I need to wait so long to do my work out.
Great time here. Usually pretty crowded after 3 pm until about 9pm
The pool area is fantastic- the steam room and lazy river are the best. Such a great gym, wish I lived closer!
It's a very nice facility, especially for a university. If they added a few more squat racka and benches this would be a 5 star review
My fiance and I love coming here to work out and play sports together. The facility is very nice and clean and they have EVERYTHING! Racquetball, basketball, rock climbing, indoor track, indoor pool, steam room, sauna, squash courts, full weight area, locker rooms with showers and more activities outdoors. Each time we go we stay for a few hours and get a good work out in. My fiance loves to play pick up basketball with the college kids and other guys. Great place!
As an alum, I enjoy the perk of working out here for 10 dollars a day.
The parking lot needs some work, though. The indoor facility is cool. It's just funny that they have vending machines with unhealthy snacks. What's the point of working out if the snacks are gonna put the pounds right back on? LOL!
Recreation Facility for UIC students. Facilities like swimming pool, Table Tennis, Rock Climbing, Basketball Court, Badminton Court, Tennis, and other activities
I go to this Gym all the time. Since I am an alumni, I pay a discounted amount and as a result, this Gym is cheaper than other gyms with the same facilities. This place has a really nice indoor running track and several exercise machine. Downside is that it gets crowded during the beginning of every semester and it's not open 24 hrs a day.
Great place to relax and do your thing ( workout, play sports , eat ,etc.)
I'm there everyday that I can be! State of the art facility. Clean, well-organized, for the serious minded athlete, or the person who just wants to plug in and work out! Great relaxing pool and spa area.
