The Iowa Field House is a treasure ofArchitecture & Continuity : what a beautiful, no fuss structure which boasts its parquet wood floors & natural light. My hope is that These functional and Amazing gifts given to posterity are Always Respected for the Future Promise to which they Speak

I go here a lot to use the track, great place to walk/run as it does not get too crowded.

Great facility and enough space to exercise without feeling like your climbing up the back of another person in the gym. Excellent basketball courts for pickup games and working out.

Loved the gym. very nice people

Great selection of workout equipment. Many different rooms for things like kickboxing and other things as well.

They shouldnt use badminton courts for playing table tennis and judging by the size of the facility there should be more vending machines for refreshments. Overall its a good place for exercise and having fun while playing different sports.

A great NCAA Div.1 team.GO HAWKS!

Only place to play badminton but air circulation is so poor that felt suffocated after playing just 5 minutes. Would love to go there and play otherwise.

This is one of the oldest buildings in the University that was built in the early 1920s. But dont let the age fool you into thinking that its not nice, The building has been well mentioned and houses Olympic size swimming pool, a medium size gym, a couple of workout rooms, basketball court which services as a badminton and volleyball court and a couple of racquetball courts too.

Great place to get your sweat on

Had a decent night until closing time, my friend and I were drinking water and the bouncer decided to be rude and PHYSICALLY push us out of the doors along with removing our WATER. Rudest and sexist bouncer I have encountered and felt discriminated against.

Theres plenty here to offer for everyone, student or non-student. Various floors of equipment, lots of fitness classes, martial arts... I recommend arriving here via public transport or bicycle because while there is a parking ramp, traffic on this part of town is horrendous because of the hospital nearby.

I went there for Special Olympics basketball and I really liked it and is really fun there

New redone weight room is great.

Front desk staff are helpful and friendly. Facilities are excellent - clean and well maintained.

Nice facility. On-site parking structure, minimal walk.

An aged but historic building in the heart of campus. I have many fond memories of watching the Iowa marching band warm up here and its also just a fun building to walk/run around in.

Pretty sure this building is haunted

Had a good workout

Nice place.

Really enjoyed the UI Student Powwow!

This is probably THE WORST gym you can have in the 21st century. It is almost 100 degree outside but they don’t have the air conditioners on. The lights above badminton courts shines like diamonds, making it difficult for people to see when they play. The door facing badminton courts are kept opening in the afternoon accompanied by the falling sun, making it even more challenging to see the birds. There is a tall net to block the basketballs and volleyballs from flying into badminton courts; nevertheless, not only the net does not stop basketballs or volleyballs, it becomes another factor that damages badminton players’ visions. By the way, they used to have yellow lanes on yellow courts. There are multiple basketball courts in the Field House and only one place to play badminton (five badminton courts). This makes sense because the number of people playing badminton is less than the number of basketball players. However, for no apparent reasons, they always close badminton courts, including the scheduled times for badminton clubs, for other events instead of closing one of the basketball courts, which is not full most of the time anyway. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the race of people who play badminton, but this is an interesting question to ask.

Overall the facility is quite good. However some of the showers and locker rooms are in fairly door need for refurbishing.

Awesome place with a lot of facilities such as gym, swimming pool, basket ball court.

Classic location, has everything you could want and more. A great place to workout.

Badminton-wise, it may be the worse, especially in the summer. Basketball-wise, the south gym is OK, except in super hot weather.

Neat historical gym. Could probably use better HVAC.

Newly renovated sports facility with lots of room for various activities, large swimming pool, basketball, jogging area.

Workout center is sub-par. Great for a quick workout but not so much for a full workout. Try to go as early in the day as possible!

Aging facility but much beloved. It has character and diverse activities to choose.

Nice place for workout

Lots of basketball courts, great guys, all adds up a really good workout.

I find the Soviet workout prison aesthetic to be ideal for my free weights routine.

I like to use the fitness area upstairs here. The facility is massive but its difficult to get access to the weights because theyre always being used by someone else. The facility offers a huge area of recreational activities like basketball courts and a swimming pool.

Wonderful place for recreational activities. Five wooden courts for Badminton playing along with several volleyball and basketball courts.

Well-equipped eight room without too many frills. Enjoyable and friendly/helpful staff.

Need to have more classes during lunch..

Had a fantastic time at the table tennis tournament! Great facility!

Brilliant place.

Nice facility but very old. Need to get central air conditioning installed.

Dont know I dont go there I wait for my ride there.

Surprised at how much I enjoyed the classes I took there.

Not the best, but gets the job done.A little hard to navigate, and definitely an older building.Basketball courts are great and I hear that they set up volleyball courts sometimes. (In Jun 2016 though, there was a wrestling camp which meant no basketball for certain times).Two places I use often - weight room/ ping pong room are located on the top floor, hidden away, which is annoying.But location wise, Im glad this place is here. The Rec center for UIowa is at least another 10 min walk away (although consider that 3 flights of stairs and navigating the building can take 5 min haha).

Great gym near dorm!

Got everything you need, just a little hot

Its the old field house... Its old and there are less people. There is gym equipment hidden in the loft... Im a fan.

The facility isnt new, but every thing is clean and functional and it is never as busy as the CRWC

Easy access from the hospital. Friendly staff.

Fundraiser...recreation center is used for a variety of events.

The place to be to work out with large groups.

Racquetball courts do not have AC!! Get this fixed, we are living in the 21st century, University of Iowa!!

Like every sport is in here!

Good workout facility

Lots to do, really outdated

Awesome
