Recreation is very good. It can be much better because there are no advanced equipments which should actually be present. The running track and game areas are super good. Especially the volley ball courts which are huge and comfortable for big games. Best part is timings, rec center is mostly open except the nights. The staff are always helpful.

Nice and clean. However, overcrowded M-F. GSU should expanded their facilities to accommodate its growing population.

The facility itself is fine and the students who work there are perfectly nice but there is an over-all problem with the management. The second you walk in you are basically made to feel like youre there to cause trouble. Ive never personally had an encounter with management here but every time theyre out in the gym they are either harassing the patrons, walking in the way of people who are trying to work-out, or harassing the student employees for trivial things like being in their phone or leaning. All of the upper management look like they have never exercised a day in their life - they just seem to be there to uphold some sort of professional atmosphere which they are utterly falling to create because theyre always out there micromanaging and getting in the way.

Can be a busy place but has great trainers. The aquatics center in the basement is a must-visit place if you love to swim/enjoy sauna etc.

Best place on GSUs campus to get a workout in. Everything you need is here. They have free weights, treadmills, elipiticals, a martial arts room,, yoga classes, a dance room, literally everything you need. On the most top floor theres also an indoor track. The staff there are almost all comprised of GA State students. Theres a pool and even a steam room.

Its a big gym with lots of amenities but the majority of the equipment looks and feels like it was made in the 90s. It desperately needs updating. Its also typically very hot and humid. Some staff is polite, but there are also many staff members who just sit there and talk to their friends instead of monitoring the room to make sure people are treating the equipment with care and putting up weights after using them. Overall, its better than some gyms Ive tried, but it definitely has room for improvement. I.E. train the staff and be more strict with them and update the equipment

As a Student, the Recreation Center is a wonderful place to unwind from the stress of classes or to pick up a hobby. The staff is incredible at what they do, and you come in feeling calm and peaceful.

When I was a student back in 2013-2014, the Rec Center was the place to be at and still is. A lot to do.

Great gym for students. Provides a lot of different options for students - whether it be running the track, using the basketball court, going to fitness classes, using the weights, racquetball, etc.

Its a great gym with lots of equipment and facilities. No complaints. I usually go in the early afternoon on weekdays and havent had a problem with it being overcrowded.

I work out at LA fitness but this is more convenient for after class. Went here for the first time today and my fingerprint didnt read because I had not yet signed my waiver, which was fine. I had to get scanned in with my panther ID. I only went to the main floor and as soon as I got on the elliptical I had a staff member tell me that we arent allowed to workout in tank tops and that my bag had to be stored in a locker. We pay for this amenity through our tuition and I feel like we shouldnt have to be forced to workout in t-shirts. Furthermore, I dont trust leaving my bag in a locker. Upon leaving we have to SCAN our panther ID to be let out. Every time I scanned my ID the girl at the front desk would be scanning someone in as I was trying to leave. The other staff member kept telling me to wait. The front desk was just very unorganized and I wont be returning.

Love the gym. There could definitely be more squat racks in the bottom level. Otherwise, the gym gives me everything I need and more. Everytime I go its pretty empty, but thats early morning. The pool always has lanes open for swimming, as well.

If you are looking for a place to work out, exercise, or pick up a new hobby, this is the place. From squat racks to dance classes this place is loaded with activities. All the equipment is fairly well kept and there is plenty of space to have multiple games of basketball played simultaneously.

Great gym! Kinda hot, but most of the equipment you would ever want with classes almost every day.

Downstairs weight room is crowded during certain times throughout the day. Morning and Weekends are probably the best time to go.

Not very accommodating...could not answer simple question even after seeing 3 different people....girl at help desk did not know address of building she was working in

Review №48

The recreation center as a whole is resourceful when looking for new activities to join, a space to work out in, or relaxation by the pool. However, due to an unpleasant experience with a staff member I have yet to go back on account of my own personal preference.

It is normally pretty empty. This is good because you have the option to pick where you want to workout. It does have limited workout machines, but the pool is fantastic!

Review №52

The omni gym on the third floor has to be shared among numerous activities. Plainly annoying.Most of the staff are either bossy, self-righteous or inexperiencedIt took them a years to fix the cable networkPeople at the turnstiles set up a security theater by forcing you to forcing you to give them a glance at your panther ID. Thanks you guys for keeping us safe! Because apparently bad people are gonna use MARTA card to get in! FFS whats wrong with you people?!Wrote lots of feedback and not many things have improved. Cant believe i have to pay a lot of money for these people for this kind of treatment (you cant opt out btw).If it wasnt for the janitors, who are friendly, I would give 1 star, or 0 if possible! My God

This Rec center is almost overfilled during peak hours, so I come by late at night. There are only 2 squat racks and usually occupied all the time. Lots of waiting time for your turn. Plenty of dumbbells for everyone. Inside track for cardio (8 laps = 1 mile).
