Family Fun Weekend is great opportunity... Pool at the rec center is very nice. There are kids classes in the weekend. Sauna next to the pool. We also like climbing wall.

Great place to come get your complete body workout! Here on the third-floor there is a inside running track all you need to do is 8 laps to do one mile. If running is not youre thing theyre stationary bikes, ellipticals, free weights, assisted weights is the best thing I can call it and every kind of machine under the sun to help you get the perfect body!On the second floor theres more free weights lots of gym equipment to get all sweaty on, just make sure you wipe it up for the next person also the 3 Court gym. On the first floor we have a 2 Court gym. I believe you can play volleyball, 2 racquetball courts and one giant pool! One of the tallest that I know of rock walls or imitation Rock wall if you want to call it that. The only thing that you cant do is make a rock fall off of it!Now that youre all hot and sweaty, you can head to the first floor to the locker rooms take a nice shower before heading off to class or home!

Open early, closes late! The pools are amazing, one deep, one shallow. Dry sauna available, equipment check out, pool tables, table tennis, lots of treadmills and bikes, plenty of places for group sports indoors. Indoor track. Everyone is pleasant, locker rooms are pristine, and have free day use lockers.

Beautiful new rec center on the campus of UNCG. We held our Yogafit training here and would do it again and again .

Great infrastructure, membership free for students. Staff and alumni, also students can enroll guests. Huge recreation center. There are daily instructor led activities like yoga, aquatics etc. But you are free to explore by yourself too. There is a running track inside. Many studios for different activities and sports ranging from basketball to squash to tennis and many more. They have open terrace for yoga and other stuff. Instructors are good. They also have personal trainer facilities if you need.

Good for UNCG students. Others need to pay $100 per semester or $8 per days. Gym is awesome :)

The Recreation and Wellness center was beautiful. It was definitely worth the walk it took to get there. There was rock climbing, weightlifting, so many machines, basketball courts and more. They even have a pool!

If you go to UNCG take advantage of your free membership here. Lots of classes with up to date schedule online. $60 for people not enrolled so make sure to fit the gym into your schedule during the semester!

Absoulutly love our gym!! Our staff is always willing to accommodate!! Love how they go down and put the volleyball net up even if theyll have to take it down in an hr. The staff is very nice and are willing to be flexible with the students.

They have the best rock wall for a university in the state of North Carolina. I can only imagine the quality of the administrative staff that maintains such a facility.

This is the biggest and newest gym Ive ever seen. Amazing place with new equipment for every type of workout you want. Multiple basketball and multi use courts. Handicap accessible. No pets. Loads of bike racks. Bike repair station out front. Parking lot requires parking permit. Entry requires INCH student ID. The only thing missing is a juice bar - thus the only 4 star rating.

The UNCG wellness center is really awesome. I love that there is similar equipment in different areas of the building which is great if you want a quiet area or if you prefer to be in the middle of the action. Theres something for everyone here and the equipment is on the upside of technology. The rock wall is hard core and the pool area is very nice, they even have a unisex dry sauna in there. Another bonus is the lockers, convenient and easy to use.

Review №22

I think this new facility is gorgeous and the amount of classes they offer is great. The pool is nice even if a bit dirty on the weekends. I have no doubt its cleaner on the weekdays though, but I cant say for sure. The locker rooms are huge and well taken care of. The day lockers are very useful. Its a shame that I cant really use it when I would be able to because the parking sucks so bad.

Review №23

I love this gym! It is very high tech compared to other gyms that I’ve been to or the Y. It’s also a beautiful addition to our campus. Only complaints are that you have to pay for parking and I wish the rental lockers had keys. I’m not a big fan of the set your own code lockers because they mess up. But overall, I love this gym and love the architecture of it!

Its the greatest fitness gym I have ever seen; I love everything about it especially the fact that it is modern. The only thing I dont like is that the sprays needed to wipe off the equipment is not found close to all equipment, which is totally dumb and shows that the staff is not organized.

Very nice gym and wellness center. Was here for Fitness Expo 2018. They did an amazing job hosting it. The only complaint would be the gym is a little spread out for my liking but that is personal preference.

I am happy that I am able to utilize this gym. They have a lot of activities, classes, and equipment for all activity levels. They are open fairly late, which is helpful in busy days. The staff is quick to help or answer questions. The equipment is clean and up-to-date.

It is really a good big place to workout. UNCG students get in for free so that is a plus. They have a big pool and a running track and a lot of wight lifting meachens. Friendly helpful staff

Love this gym! It has a lot to offer for physical fitness as well as mental health. The only complaint I have is that I was confronted by a worker mid doing an assisted pull up to tell me I couldnt have a shirt on that showed my stomach area and that I could not continue to workout if my stomach was shown while I was not working out. My shirt only came up a little bit because I was reaching my arms above my head. I found this weird but also fairly rude as I was in the middle of working out. Males and females shouldnt have to worry about their body like that especially when they are already trying to better themselves in the gym. Seems like a strange rule to me especially in todays day and age. Other than that, it is a great facility.

There are many options for your workout. It doesnt matter which philosophy of fitness you subscribe to. The only way that the Kaplan center wont have it is if it requires some very exotic pieces of equipment. If you go to uncg full time, then you need to go. I love that gym, and it can give Golds gym a serious run for its money as far as variety and space to work out goes. I it doesnt hurt that they played good music either.

Review №48

Take your things home every single time. Even the unmarked lockers are only for one day, emptied every night by staff. You can get your stuff back but the most expensive stuff will probably be missing. Happened to me and management cant/wont do anything about it.Or you can pay way too much and have a personal locker the entire semester. No in between.

Review №51

Amazing facility. I am used to a 24 hour gym and usually workout in the middle of the night because of less traffic. But my main drawback is not allowing small gym bags on the gym floor. I am a bodybuilder and carry lifting equipment with me such as lifting straps, weight belt etc. and keep it contained in a small sling bag to keep the clutter out of the way of others. Constantly walking to a locker every time I need to change equipment is a bit inconvenient and to be interrupted while I have 400+ lbs on my back to be told I need to put my bag in a locker is not very pleasant. I understand the rules but they dont accommodate everyone. Overall, a great place, very clean, with a plethora of equipment and no shortage of space to exercise. Friendly staff, aside from the danger of interjecting during an exercise.

Pretty nice gym that has a lot of unnecessary rules, most of the kids that work there are extremely rude and dont know what manners are, constantly closing areas for facility maintenance, and they could use a more diverse selection of kettlebell.

Great place to workout! I would have given 5 stars but my only problem is the wifi. If a non-student member, you have to sign up and get a new passcode each time you visit! Wish there was a one time passcode for paid non student members. Afterall, we have paid for the membership. Please change this. Thanks!
