    This is one of the best gyms I've ever been to. Actually it's the best one.

    Members lounge on the second floor is a great place to study and sleep, it's never full and always relaxing!

    They finally got real squat racks, which is great, but they only bought three. Most of the main floor is covered in borderline useless machines, and for some reason they keep it cold.

    Opens at 5:45am M-F. It's nice to get in and get your workout done while you have your choice of machines and weights without any wait. Read more

    A great place to work out! Running track in top floor is nice. Locker fee is a little expensive.

    If you don't want to go early in the morning to work out in some peace, usually between 3 and 5 are pretty mellow.

    If you're going to buy a drink, get it in the gym area, not from the cafe outside before you check in. Same price for so much less.

    What the facility has in aesthetics it lacks in practicality. Despite its large size, the poor layout leads to crowding issues. I would never pay to be a member here.

    Do not trust the vending machines. Notorious For stealing $. And you have to go all the way to the Union for a refund.
