I really enjoyed this workout! It was fast-paced, constant movement, the instructor was attentive and the music was high energy!

Its awesome Time for abs!

Excellent facility. Swimming Kickboxing and gym are my favourite. You can also check your fat %. There is a badminton and basketball court inside. Also a quiet place for meditation and yoga. Machines in gym are superb, perfect muscle contraction. They also give towels if you forget yours at home for free. The staff is always taking efforts to keep the place clean n hygienic.

Large facility, some machines are worn out, would not recommend going between 5-7pm, insanely crowded. Staff is great and very helpful. Lighting in the gym is pretty mediocre, lifters know the importance of good lighting.

I live in the area and get the alumni rate. This place is the best value for a gym in chicago. I love it.

It is small. Shallow and you can not dive. People from the gym come to the swimming pool, Jacuzzi and sauna, and no shower before. People from outside walk inside without taking their shoes off. It is not neat. Not hygienic place.

Very nice facility for training and workout.

This is a great place to workout. The environment is good. No issues.

Gym. Ping Pong. Badminton. Volleyball. Basketball. Pool. Everything is good about these here. No bad smell. Water is good in the pool.

Great place to work out on campus if you live there or go to school at UIC.

Love the climbing wall here it has courses and routes for all skill level. The pool and lockers rooms are rather dirty and sometimes smell absolutely awful. The lifting area upstairs is wayyyy too small for the amount of student UIC has. It is consistently packed and if you want to lift youre going to have to wait for a machine to be available. The workers are nice usually and the smoothie bar is very good but expensive.

Wonderful place to bring your children in the winter. Great swimming lessons!

One of the best recreation and sport facilities I have ever seen

The people there clearly love the horses and are extremely knowledgeable

Clean place alot of machines and nice staff

Awesome rock wall and staff. Great variety of equipment. Decent pool with everything except a diving board.

Clean, Modern and safe!

As an alum, I enjoy the perk of working out here for 10 dollars a day.The parking lot needs some work, though. The indoor facility is cool. Its just funny that they have vending machines with unhealthy snacks. Whats the point of working out if the snacks are gonna put the pounds right back on? LOL!

Its a very nice facility, especially for a university. If they added a few more squat racka and benches this would be a 5 star review

I think some of the people posting negative reviews may not realize how great this place is by college gym standards! Enormous, tons of free weights with 4 squat racks, indoor running track, basketball courts, climbing wall, not to mention the aquatic area which is practically a water park (lazy river, hot tub, etc). There’s a gorgeous view of downtown and great natural light. Yes, sometimes during peak hours (4:30-7:30) you have to work around other people to get in your workout. It’s really not as bad as most gyms though.One suggestion: more hand weights in the 5, 7.5, 10, and 12.5 pound range... there are only a few sets in the entire gym, and people always hide them away for endless amounts of time, because they’re so hard to get your hands on.

THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS GOOD

Swim classes for kids is excellent. Great teachers and a report on progress after each class.

Things break pretty often, and they take forever to fix. Great for price at least. Tons of classes and things to do.

I go to this Gym all the time. Since I am an alumni, I pay a discounted amount and as a result, this Gym is cheaper than other gyms with the same facilities. This place has a really nice indoor running track and several exercise machine. Downside is that it gets crowded during the beginning of every semester and its not open 24 hrs a day.

My fiance and I love coming here to work out and play sports together. The facility is very nice and clean and they have EVERYTHING! Racquetball, basketball, rock climbing, indoor track, indoor pool, steam room, sauna, squash courts, full weight area, locker rooms with showers and more activities outdoors. Each time we go we stay for a few hours and get a good work out in. My fiance loves to play pick up basketball with the college kids and other guys. Great place!

The facility is great in value and function for students. Since its free I highly recommend it as you wont get too much more at another gym.

Great if guest passes werent $10. Thats too steep and there is no free parking anywhere. (Too be expected though)

Thats perfect place for indoor activity with friends

This place has everything you need: huge weight room with almost all workout equipment you’d ever need, running track, a bunch of basketball courts, pool with a lazy river, a boxing room and so much more. Best gym/recreational facility I’ve ever been too.

Great gym to workout at. Its all state of the art and brand new. Has been cleaned and kept up well. Locker rooms are nice as well! Overall great facility.

How much do I have to pay if I am not a student?

Offers a wide variety of facilities that are kept in good condition

Students staff not making sure members and guests are following the rules.

Its superb. Huge area, multiple activity rooms, with badminton, volleyball, basketball, table tennis, squash & raquetball courts, has a gym with a huge collection of workout machines, has a cute swimming pool with a family area, a Jacuzzi, with steam & sauna bath facilities, provides towels & wipes everywhere, is well maintained, & it is everything you can ask for from a recreation center.

Great facilities and tons of options. Gets crowded around early evening but thats to be expected in a college rec center.

Excellent equipment and facilities but for the love of God get a deadlift area!

Basketball court available only certain times as it gets packed especially in the evenings.

The sauna is always off! There are a lot of people socialing while working out! Every time I need to wait so long to do my work out.

College is proving to be very stressful, but the recreational center keeps me sane. There are so many things to do here that Im never bored and it pretty much has everything from rock climbing, swimming, running, to working out, etc. You name it and they probably have it.

Nice facility but watch where you park

Way more bang for your buck if a local member or student. Services rival a roughly $1k subscription gym.

Im there everyday that I can be! State of the art facility. Clean, well-organized, for the serious minded athlete, or the person who just wants to plug in and work out! Great relaxing pool and spa area.

Ive only used the pool here for swim lessons for my baby but the pool is fantastic! Warm and perfectly designed for kid classes. The last river is awesome, hot tub enormous!

Good facility for fitness with lockers.Swimming, weight training, basketball, indoor running track, personal trainers, climbing wall, table tennis, squash, racquetball, volleyball, tennis and many more.Rate concession if a UIC alumni.

Perfect facilities to stay fit and have fun. Especially the climbing wall.

Just go there and see it for yourself. Its a theme park for fitness enthusiasts. Its is also very very cheap as compared to other options.

Best place.

One of the best recreation facility I have seen in Chicago. It includes Rock climbing too

Clean and well maintained facility. Very friendly staff.A lot of events to attend and new activities to try.

Great place. Can play or do all types of sports.

Great place. For any type of athletics

Much cleaner than other neighboring gyms. Hours arent the greatest, especially on weekends. Great gym if youre a student at UIC, otherwise can be pricey if youre external.

Terrible gym. Do not come here. Not enough squat racks, which are mediocre since they dont even close off at the back. The bars do not have rough knurling and are not thick so theyre pretty bad quality. Not enough dumbbells. Impossible to lift during late afternoon.

Im giving this only one star because of unprofessional behaviour of the staff here, I had messages appoiappointment on Saturday morning at 10am and I was there on time, I received a phone call from the messages center telling me that they have to cancel and there is no one else to substitute. Seriously how professional is this, not the day before not at least an hour before but right at the appointment time. I guess they dont teach them professionalism before they graduate, or they dont give a dam about it.

The lifeguard was amazing

The pool is great!

Great place to work out!

It was so good

Its a great gym, its relatively cheap for non UIC students; $10 for the whole day. Working out there is great, its very clean and very nice inside.They even have outside basketball and tennis courts, indoor swimming pool, indoor basketball court, indoor track and an indoor climbing wall.

Its ok place

Nice facility with good lighting and sturdy area

Very spacious workout area. Excellent infrastructure. Beautiful scenic view

Awesome! Just awesome

Great facility. Great options for cardio or weights. Crowd is understandably young. Can get crowded after 5pm but mornings and early afternoon is great

Great time here. Usually pretty crowded after 3 pm until about 9pm

Really great facilities. Offers memberships to community members (not just students and staff) at rates better than most gyms.

Pretty good! Lots of workout rooms and classes offered, but there could be a bigger free weight section.

The pool area is fantastic- the steam room and lazy river are the best. Such a great gym, wish I lived closer!

Very nice view lots of equipment

You have gym, basketball, Swimming, Rock climbing and many other facilities available. Special discount for U of I Alums.

Great place to relax and do your thing ( workout, play sports , eat ,etc.)

Great service, great people!

Awesome place. I love the climbing wall!

Best place ever, swimming pool is huge. All equipment is in a good shape !!

Pretty nice gym to do olympic weightlifting

Best gym around the Loop area

Always great especially for a Bears game

Great if youre a uic student, horrible if you are not

Beautiful place, definitely going to apply to UIC in 4 years!!!

Love the bros here ... always motivating to see them werking it , #inspiration

What a huge place with indoor swimming pool, hot bath, massage place, tropical smoothie, wall climbing, gym, table tennis court, basketball court

The gym at UIC is awesome and huge and has a lot of equipment. There are 4 basketball courts where I spent all my college days playing pickup.

Has everything thing one needs to get a workout in, great views too!

Great facility for uic students.

Thanks for hosting the FIRST robotics mid west regional social!

I go to school here and this is a pretty great facility.

Solid rec. center with plenty of options and good facilities.

Amazing facilities and clean and new machines

Nice facilities 10/10 would rec again

Amazing gym.

Wonderful staff.

Both location are the best

Ok

They have a good indoor soccer field

No one is ever using the heavy bag so I can get a few rounds in whenever

Way too packed and not enough squat racks for a student population composed of thousands of students.

Great! It has everything inside

Quite good facility

Amazing place

Love this facility.
