The Rec is always clean and the equipment is nice. The only drawback is the limited number of basketball courts. A school of UNT’s size should have more than 3 inside courts.

Great UNT exercising facility with lots of space and useful equipments for a fun experience.

I was playing a game of 5v5 on the main court when someone blocked this other player. I had never met this man but he instantly started talking reckless towards the other man. The situation escalated and he ended up throwing a punch towards the guy who “fouled him” and they fought. On-lookers eventually called the police and they had to descalate the altercation. WORST EXPERIENCE AT UNT REC CENTER. NEVER GOING BACK. HOOPERS IN CONVERSE.

Its good, just waiting till Corona time is over.

Great gym for great workouts

I work out here on a regular basis. This is not just a gymnasium, but a full fledged recreation center that rivals all commercial gyms! I was in awe of the number of workout machines present. It has never been overcrowded while I have been there, and it is state of the art and clean.

Clean, safe. Good staff.

Honestly, a great recreation center with many options;

Doing a great job of distancing and cleaning.

They have a lot of equipment. Even when it seems really populated they still have stations available. Everyone is nice and cleans equipment after usage. Plus there are a lot of employees that are available and helpful.

Awesome place to work out, swim, rock climb! Great for UNT students and the best rec/gym Ive ever been to.

Its awesome place for exercising, playing table tennis, shuttle, swimming...I would strongly recommend you to visit this place.

Clean; not a lot of people because of covid so thats nice

Nice people, the guys at the Outdoor Pursuits Center especially cool. It gets really busy midday and around 5 but they have everything you need to get fit

Good place to workout with lots of machines and weights. However, everything is very closely spaced together and with a confusing layout and dated interior and locker rooms

Great facility everything was clean. Staff was professional and smiling. Had a great experience. Went for the recreational volleyball from 6-11

Tis is very good. There are good tracks, soccer gymnasium and basketball gymnasium.

Has a 40 foot tall rock climbing wall and lots of different workout machines. There are two swimming pools (one with a lazy river) and a track upstairs. Also as multiple volleyball/ basketball courts which are indoor and outdoor

Very great gym, especially for a college campus.

Went to a kayaking event and it was fantastic!!! Super fun and inclusive. Would recommend this place for sure!

Great workout place for Unt staff and student

I have not seen such a huge facility. It is awesome. You can do anything whatever you want to do. My son is learning level 1 swimming. The instructors are awesome. I am impressed.

Many machines to use. I would say over 100. They have a track on the second story to run indoors, 3 basketball courts, and an indoor soccer gym. They also have a pool for swimming and a rock wall for climbing. Fun fact, a good majority of the energy you use on the treadmills and elypticls, helps power the place!

Nice place to workout, gets packed in the evening times

Great place. There are volleyball court, basketball, and indoor soccer court. Many machine to use

The best recreational facility Ive ever experienced.

UNTs state of the art gym! Unlike other buildings like Wooten Hall and a dozen more which are crumbling and have restrooms found in gas stations, UNT has a good gym, nice student center and of course a useless stadium for football.

Awesome! Had a great workout!

Nice place

It gets really packed at times and people like to occupy machines without using them but for the most part, I always have fantastic workouts when Im able too.

Excellent facilities for a university rec

Its just awesome! Everything looks neat

My only complaint about this place are the hours. Pohl opening at 6 on the weekdays is great because I can get a workout in early, but it doesn’t open till 10 on Saturdays and till noon on Sundays. They’re stickler about it, too. I once got to the rec at 9:55 on a Saturday and they wouldn’t let me swipe my card until 10 on the dot.

The best gym in North Texas. Students can join clubs, tournaments, attend classes and have personal coaching. You can also rent outdoor equipments for very reasonable prices. Extended working hours till midnight most of the days.

Great equipment. Nice staff. Fantastic trainers.

Helpful staff and lots of room

Generally good. They play the worst music all day long and will refuse to turn it off for those who like to workout in quiet, so bring headphones.

Great facilities and friendly staff!

This is a very big gym with a lot of options on machines. It also has a full rock climbing station, an indoor and outdoor basketball court, tennis areas, volly ball, a full pool with a lazy River, whirlpool, and hot tub, an uptairs track, and much more. This gym is usually pretty busy, make sure you where closed toe shoes or else you will get kicked out.

The gym is what you would expect. A lot of room is used for bench presses and this is somewhat disportioncate. The clip on handle bars over by the lap pull down tend to get mixed around. Having a place for people to put them would help. I wish they would open earlier on the weekends.

Nice work out equipments and facilities

Awesome. A lot to do. Indoor swimming pool, indoor soccer arena, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, gyms, workout stations, etc. What more could one ask for that is looking to work out and have a great time either alone or with friends??

Very nice to notch

State of the art cardiovascular equipment and weight room. Nice indoor lap pool and recreational pool. Clean and spacious mens locker room.

Excellent equipment layout and the staff is really helpful.

Tons of benches... Only a few power racks. Thats my gripe. If you want to No oly platforms/weights. Clearly a gym focused on more recreational training...but It has a lot of equipment. There is a heavy bag and kettle bells. Staff is cool.

This is a very nice facility. Only down side is parking but that is to be expected on campus.

Best place ever..

Really lovely gym with plenty of equipment and a great atmosphere. The pools are pristine clean and its apparent that they manage the chemicals quite well. I used to be a lifeguard, so Ive been in quite a number of pools where the chemicals were too strong. Once it got so bad that we had kids crying due to the pain in their eyes, and the lifeguards werent much better off. I never feel like that at the pools here. My only wish is that the pools were open longer. It stays open until 10, which is usually when I get off of work. The rest of the gym is accessible, but water workouts are really where I fare best since I have a muscular issue. I wish that at least the leisure pool was open til midnight.

Nice gym, dont care for all the cell phone use while on the machines. Its highly narcissistic, and egomaniacal. However, the gym itself is nice.

Pros: Variety of machines, including cablrsIndoor track&poolLots of spacePlenty of free-weightsPlenty of dedicated powerlifting spotsRock wall for unconventional trainingCons: No powerlifting platforms (no olympic lifts)Squat racks use octogonal weights instead of circular ones, making deadlifts akward for long setsRock wall costs extraNo chalk allowed in facilityShoes required for all liftsClips must be on for all lifts, regardless of weightOverall: Good, but geared towards non-professionals/people who are more casual about weightlifting. For powerlifters, I would recommend elsewhere.

Very nice campus gym. Gorgeous indoor track and pool. Has the biggest indoor climbing wall Ive ever seen in a gym that is not specifically dedicated to rock climbing

The facilities here are generally very clean and well maintained. My only complaint is there are not enough fans, especially by the cardio equipment. I havent really used anything else but everything is nice there and its nice to put your tuition fees to good use.

Know no limits.

Pohl is a great gym, it has more equipment than most private gyms but that comes at a price. Usually very busy except on weekends, early mornings, and late at night. If you attend UNT, you might as well make use of it because you’re paying for it either way.

Awesome facility that has a nice variety of activities. They often have free events like free rock wall climbing during the first few weeks of the semester. They also host things like ladies night at the rock wall where its free to climb. They even let you try out activities for free (like yoga sessions) during the first month. If you want to bring a friend that isnt a UNT student i believe its only $5. Free daily lockers of various sizes are available next to the locker rooms. Overall the facilities are kept very clean and the employees are friendly.

Great gym helpful staff

Staff are very friendly, and the gym is always very clean. The go to place for almost everyone at UNT to work out at.

There are some amazing UNT students that work here. I always feel welcome and comfortable. It has good, reliable equipment that is never rundown.

One of the best University recreation centers. Thanks SGA!

Great atmosphere and facility who loves work outs

It was crowded but its kinda nice

Very nice facility with a ton of exercise equipment. The staff is always nice and the equipment is great quality. It also has an amazing rock wall.

Like a 24 hour fitness super sport. Just not as clean. Spoiler alert: 24 hour fitness super sports are not very clean

Great University gym, has all the equipment youll ever need. The free-weight area could be much larger though; the place is packed during peak hours. People who curl in the squat rack lose all their gains for the day - thats science fact.

Great gym. Really big with a lot of weights and equipment. It gets packed in the evenings and youll probably have to wait for certain things but the mornings and after ten its decently empty.

This is an awesome place to workout, meet friends, and get involved socially at UNT! Super friendly staff and tons of activities available!

I frequently visit this place, mostly to play basketball. It has everything any person would need, including a pool, basketball courts, a soccer court, many workout machines and even a running track on the second floor. It has a rock climbing wall, which doesnt open until 3pm, but is great for people with the climbing experience.

Everything is pretty good honestly except some equipment need to be replaced with newer versions

Really nice gym but being closed on Sundays in the summer is a real negative. Sunday is the one day most of us actually have off to go to the gym.

Nice friendly Staff. Equipments are well maintained

They have plenty of equipment and space to do almost any workout you can think of. Plus it exemplifies Units green energy goals.

Really a great work out facility. Could use a couple more indoor basketball hoops, but thats my only feedback

Yeah its ok. Theyre trying to profit off of broke college student by upping their guest pass prices. Other large public universities charge at most $5 for a guest pass. UNT is now charging $10 for one. Very unsettling

State of the Art facilities.

Great place for students on campus

10/10 would recommend

Great facility, GMG

Clean, big, and nice. Needs more basketball courts though, they definitely get filled up easily.

Great selection of equipment in good condition and always clean

Staff is always very friendly, and if you go early when they open in the morning there is far fewer people than in afternoons or evenings. Also the pool is almost nevery busy which is nice.

State of the art my butt

State of the art University gym with plenty of space, a track, free weights, and pretty much any machine you need.

University of North Texas rec center is the best for students to keep active while study

Best gym in North Texas and way better than most Universities.

Nice place for workout and indoor sports

Pool, good equipment, students rack their weights efficiently, indoor running track and basketball courts

This place has some great equipment and attentive staff.

Great clean facility with lots of equipment. Can be ridiculously crowded at times. But thats only because of its location within a university. Great place to excercise if you live in the Denton area

Peak hours are a nightmare, but so is every other gym. Overall this gym is nice!

Nice staff, clean and equipped environment.

Got onto me for grunting too loud while lifting weights. Not conducive to massive gains.

Staff is great pools are clean and equipment is always available

If you need a gym in Denton this place is the place to go

Best in town

Lap pool is nice, but not open often enough. Crowded from 8am-closing

Good place

Nice place

Good staff! Good equipment.

Really enjoy the rec.
