Best gym in town hand down! Olympic size pool, indoor soccer, basketball courts, racquetball, indoor track, rock climbing gym, and outdoor fields make up this incredible place in addition to weights and workout machines.

$10 per visit is a bit pricey for per-students.Again thats per visit not per day.You can find most of what they offer for cheaper somewhere in El Paso. But to its advantage it does have everything in one place.If you bring a lunch and towel you can do all the activities there eat and shower but the moment your out your pass is over.

I am an alumn trying to gain access to the gym. I asked the Rec if they could let me pay the membership considering I paid the $100 to be a member of the alumni association. They said I had to call the alumni association. The alumni association told me they didn’t know how to get me access. They then transferred me to somebody and she told me I had access until November of 2020. I tried going to the gym this morning and was denied access on January 28, 2020. The girl at the front desk didn’t know what to say or do because she had no clue on how to renew my membership.If you’re not a student, stay away from the UTEP rec center.Alumni beware.

The Student Recreation Center at The University of Texas at El Paso, is a great place for extracurricular activities, such as basketball, soccer, boxing, weightlifting and much more, one thing they could better is to adjust slightly their classes schedule so it could be more convenient for people that attend their classes.

The recreation center is amazing. It already comes as part of the tuition package if youre a UTEP student and the facilities are top of the line. The racquetball courts (three of them) are cleaned well and the pool (two 25m pools, about 8 lanes each) are in good condition. There is even an amazing rock climbing wall located below the entrance that as you walk in you will see the peak of the tower to your left. It is a place that I definitely plan to visit again and again.

Dont like the fact that you have to beg the staff to have the multi purpose field open on time, it always a hassle with these kids to open the field on time.

Very clean and friendly. Never felt ostracized by my peers here, and most people tend to be positive. Full scale gym, and clean swimming pool, and a great rock climbing section. Best place to exercise

Great place. Has a pool, climbing wall, track, weights, cardio machines, basketball court, racquetball courts, etc. Never ever forget your ID!! You will not be let in without your ID. Guests are allowed with members and its $10 for adults $5 for kids (18 and under) but kids are only allowed in pool. Theres some pretty great fitness programs as well. And if you ever wanna go on a trip theres an outdoor adventure program that plans trips and rents camping equipment out. Theres also a game room for all the gamers out there.

Review №19

Its great! Its a part of your tuition fee if youre a UTEP student. Theres three floors, the first floor is for the locker rooms and showers, as well as the pools. The basket ball/volleyball courts, and theres even an indoor soccer court off to the side.The second floor is where the entrance is, it has mainly all the weight machines.The third floor is mainly for cardio and theres also a small track to run on.And outside theres a soccer field to play on.

Good gym, but I really dislike the odd climbing hours. End up not going 1/2 the time because its too late or im too early. But good climbing gym.

The UTEP Rec Center is a great facility with awesome staff, from the students at the front desk, who greet members cheerfully to the fitness classes instructors who are really, really good at their craft. If you are a UTEP employee or alumni, check out their membership costs - they are not bad ...

NICE GYM BEEN GOING HERE FOR 2 YEARS AS A STUDENT, I JUST WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO VERIFY YOU WITHOUT ASKING TO SEE YOUR PICTURE, DONT YOU HAVE US IN YOUR SYSTEM WITH OUR PICTURES? ALSO JUST CAUSE I FORGET MY ID DOES NOT MEAN IM NOT A STUDENT. OVERALL GOOD

Amazing gym, spacious and beautifully designed, high quality equipment and good amount of lockers. It could have rental towels though, thats why just 4 stars.

Best gym from el paso

Br
Review №27

The average student working here has never stepped in a gym so getting help is a problem when you have to explain how they can help every time. You need a parking permit to park or else you may get a fine. The gym is quite small and bad for anybody who has ever been in a gym for prolonged periods of time. The equipment is not great.

This rec is actually really nice. Theyve done lots of remodeling, and their equipment is high grade. Staff is attentive, and lots of intramural options and activities. Dont expect much from their refs though.

Biggest gym with largest rock climbing wall and a variety of equipment

Review №36

Giving them jus one star coz it has the poorest management I have ever seen in schools. They dont have anytype of respect to students even we are paying tons of cash each semester. They will know you well that you are member and authorized to workout, but if you accendintly forget your ID Card, you are gone. They will threat you like a homeless. Very poor management very poor ️

Review №41

Up to date machines and equipment, cleanliness is great, staff is available to help but not in your face. Pool is kept clean and always a lifeguard on duty. Only downfall is lack of wifi, but thats honestly a UTEP problem most likely.

Review №42

Huge facility thats sure to fulfill your fitness needs. The equipment is well-maintained; nothing rusty or on the verge of falling apart. There are: plenty of free weights, strength machines, cardio equipment, an indoor track, rock climbing wall, basketball courts, racquetball courts, swimming pools, two sets of locker rooms (with lockers you can rent for a semester), group classes, and more Im sure Im missing. Its free for UTEP students (paid for by your tuition), so take advantage of it!

For the tuition we pay, I think UTEP can update the system to go in and have more better workout equipment and more cardio machines.

This gym needs a upgrade very badly. They dont even have a proper smith machine. It sucks that UTEP is being so careless about the renovation of the gym.

Ab
Review №57

I called to see about the hours of the pool and if they allow monofins and as soon as I said I wasnt a student the persons tone changed and didnt let me finish talking and just hanged up, I never felt so insulted before by how rude this person was on the phone.Seems like utep is very stuck up. Its supposed to be public with an entrance fee of 10$ and yet this person was beyond rude.

As a utep student, you can spend hours here exercising in very clean facilities, there is always staff present ready to help and it has racquet ball rooms and basketball courts, semi Olympic pools, different machines, and a short running loop.

Although a bit more expensive than other gyms, the installations of this gym make it worth going. Fitness classes are offered, you may play ball if you decide not to use the machines or take a swim at the pool.
