Very nice hot tub and pool but needs more day-use lockers. And jet controls for the hot tub should be within reach of the hot tub so I dont have to get out to turn the jets back on.

As a student, you get your rec center usage for free with a fee, from WWU. Its always packed full of people but all the staff are nice and they are willing to help you get the correct form for any lifting and spot you when you need assistance. There are two basketball courts, one of which is split into 3 most of the hours. The pool is nice and usually not too full, and there is a huge hot tub for post workout relaxation. There is also an indoor track that runs along the top of one of the courts. The two gyms are upstairs and downstairs; the top one is usually less busy but also houses mostly machines. The bottom gym is the one that houses most of the free weight equipment. Overall, great place to work out

I stopped at this building to try and figure out where I needed to go. The building is nice and I enjoyed seeing the surrounding areas. There is plenty to do inside the building and there is even more when you walk around the campus. Nice building in this large university campus. Parking is a different story. Good luck if you can find non-paying parking.

Great selection of equipment to work out with. They are diligent with keeping their hours of operation on Google up to date on holidays or in-between quarters. Free to access if youre a student at WWU.

I enjoy working out here most mornings before class. The staff is helpful, especially when an injury occurs, and pleasant. The locker room is always clean, which is a big thing for me. The equipment is minimal, but theres usually enough space for everyone.

The Event was poorly posted. This is a very remote part of the campus, for a non student the campus maps did little in giving the most direct and easiest path to follow to find this location.The actual event signage were very plain 8x10 sheets of paper.It seemed like several of the listed partipants were late setting up or were no show due to the poor directions.

Pretty much everything you need to get a good workout. Olympic weight lifting platforms, moderately competitve pick-up basketball, rock climbing wall, swimming pool, indoor track, volleyball courts, hot tub, tons of stationary bikes. The hours on the weekend are pretty limited but who goes to the gym on a saturday night anyways.

Great gym and not extremely crowded given everyone who attends WWU has access. Could use a bigger weight room though.

The rec center has completely changed since I attended WWU. It is a beautiful building with a large variety of options. We like to pool for swim lessons for our little girl.

We are forced to pay a fee regardless of whether we use it so obviously looks great
