This place is more of a tennis/badminton/pickleball court facility for the community with some strength training options on the side than anything else. The tennis courts take up about half the gym & you have to walk behind an awkward curtain down a narrow path to get to the rest of the gym. There’s a rock climbing wall with daily instruction (locked up when no instructor around). There are a few cardio machines & a decent weight rack. They did buy a few maces which I tend to use every time I’m there. They have a wall of Indian clubs & a tall rack of medicine balls, as well as a good spot to do TRX workouts off of a solid tower with multiple spots & heights to do pull-ups.The heavybag is pretty light & it’s on a so-so stand that prevents movement around it for practicing technique & footwork. There’s a small matted area for wrestling & jiu jitsu drills, but not much in the way of keeping it clean to avoid staff/MRSA/ring worm since people walk across it regularly.They have a lot of equipment behind the front desk that they’ll loan out for your ID or keys. Boxing gloves, focus mitts, fencing jackets, skis, bikes, tents, tennis/badminton rackets, pickleball & ping pong paddles.My biggest gripe is that it doesn’t seem to cater to the students at MUM, but to the senior citizens of the community or teachers. The locker room is small with 2 showers & is hotter & more humid than Hades in the summer months.

Worst basketball court in Fairfield. If you want to slip and slide all day, this is the place for you. But if you dont play ball and just go for other activities, its decent.Edited to add: In response to the owners comment; yes they need to be cleaned better, but the best solution is to replace the floors. Theyre cracked and have a layer of dust. My teammate kept falling because the court has no grip and is slippery. One player even said to me This court has caused more injuries than any other court Ive played on. This is a huge injury hazard. Money should be spent to fix one of the most used facilities on campus so that everyone can use them without injury.

The Rec Center was open today despite a massive blizzard. Other than an indoor soccer match no one was there.
