I think this place is great, but I think if there’s a daycare here for members with kids it will be amazing it will also employ more people

They have everything you need to accomplish all of your fitness goals. It’s never crowded. Gym rats in there are a testimony to the great facility

Love the rec and is great for students. Only complaint is who had the great idea to move the massage chairs into an echoing room where exercise classes take place? After a workout and freshening up, I'd like to lay in peace and not have to listen to some class echoing right next to me. There's plenty of room in the building to divide the two

Really nice here. Fully outfitted with everything you could possibly need to get fit at any level. The cardio room is amazing. The lower track is my favorite. I do wish the dumbells were more organized in the weight rooms. The mates can be hard to find.

The rec center since 2014 has gotten progressively worse. The facilities are good, but management is terrible. 3 basketball courts, no basketballs can be rented out. Staff is rude and not very helpful, Staff are mask police, but don’t wear their masks properly. Under proper management the rec would be a thriving enterprise but under its current it has become more and more of a ghost town. If rules and regulations were to change, the rec would be amazing but currently it is very underwhelming. I am even a current student and I prefer to go to planet fitness. (That’s how bad it is)

I have been coming here for six or seven years. I highly recommend the Rec, the amenities it has for the cost is incredible. I love the variety it has to offer I can swim in the pool one day, play basketball on one of many courts another, racquetball another, lift weights in one of the multiple weight rooms and I could go on. I will continue to come as long as I am in the area. It's a great facility for the community and for students.

Good gym but charges enrolled students to use the facility over the summer. I dont get how you could be enrolled in classes for the upcoming fall semmmester and be charged upwards of $70 to use the gym thats otherwise free. Doesnt make sense for how much tuition costs and for how much SIU will already practically scam you out of even more money.
