Decent gym. But only large enough to hold less than 1% of the students. Their policies for Covid are just their to make everyones lives hell and make the weak people feel safe. They make zero sense from a biological or medical point of view and dont even really follow CDC guidelines anyways.

The IMA is often busy. Great gym overall though

Perhaps one of the best investments on campus. They have several floors of free weights, a track on the top floor, exercise machines galore, mat and wooden studio rooms with mirrors, a pool, basketball courts, and a climbing wall. They also offer programs for health and wellness, physical therapy, personal training, martial arts, dancing, boat/canoe/kayak stuff, climbing, you name it. Some bad parts are that the weight room is usually packed (they do have a lot of weights and machines, though, so you can usually get some sort of workout in) and they have pretty strict or expensive policies for guests (must be 18 or older, costs $10 to host a guest, etc.). If youre a student and you exercise, IMA is well worth the time to get there to do physical activities.

Good place to go if you want to play basketball. Good place to go if you want to get ripped. Bad place to pick up ladies.

Best place to work out and play basketball!

The weight room needs better ventilation in the back. Also a lot of the machines are spread between the bottom floor weight room and the main floor resulting in having to walk between floors for different machines. Overall great selection though and they have everything you need. Locker rooms are gross and need a remodel.

Lots of cardio machines and a wide range of dumbbells, but there arent nearly enough benches and squat racks. It also get super hot and humid in the weight room. They need to increase the ventilation so Im not breaking a sweat just walking across the room.

Great gym and staff!

It has ANYTHING YOU WANT. Swimming pool, for one. Free weights. Even WATER YOGA.

This is probably one of thw worst division 1 school student gyms in America. Majority worthless equipment, outdated flooring, and no capacity to handle the 40k students enrolled.

Nice to students to work out. The facility is super cool. People could be more knowledgeable and clean out their equipment after the use.

There is a lot of activities to do, even for a beginner like me. And they have a lot of classes from beginner to advanced students. I enjoyed their raquetball courts and the pool.

The building itself is nice, and very spacious, but the parking is HORRIBLE. The lot is small and you pay, and the surrounding lots are only for certain parking passes so you cant even park there if you pay. Also, they have gone back and forth with policy regarding children being able to watch intramural games inside of the gym so depending on what staff member I talk to when I get there they may or may not let me and my son in to watch my husband play. So thats kind annoying.

Love it ... The gym with three floors has a tonne of machines to work out with and a huge number of free weights. All the muscles can be trained from all angles! Other than that it has a swimming pool, basketball, volleyball, badminton, lawn tennis (outside), table tennis, playing ground (outside), beach volleyball (outside). They also have fun activities on Fridays such as roller skating, archery, log rolling. etc. They also host a bunch of classes and activities such as meditation, martial arts, dance, etc. All over great place to work on your mind and body!

My fitness journey starts from here. Go to ima from time to time even after I have graduated. Such a great vibe. Spacious basketball court and the weight room is just legendary.

Not the gym for you if youre a serious weightlifter. I lift with a group of students and the management told us we werent allowed to be there because weightlifters are intimidating. Mind you, I simply go to the gym and lift like a normal person, nothing extreme. This, when theres hordes of groups from fraternities and sororities monopolizing equipment constantly. Definitely do not feel welcome here

Its normally a good time, but last time I went there was this weird older guy that was running around like he was on crack and bothering everyone in the area like HOw mAnY MorE seTs? So that he could move the weights 3 inches and run to the next area, I feared for my life.

Awesome place to workout...and its free with tuition! Can be busy often, but if you go at the right times, its perfect!

Great place for sports and working out.

The IMA as it is colloquially referred to is awesome. Membership isnt free, even for students, its factored into our tuition, but damn, theres anything you could ever want in a gym here. Pool? Check. Basketball court? Check. Squash room? Check. Track? Check again. Gym? Check. And so much more. And its pretty easy/noticeable to get to from campus. Highly recommend!

Well equipped gym and organised

Quite impressive options. There is something for everyone.

This is a big place with lots to do. There are 3 work out areas, a track, 5 multi use courts for basketball, volleyball, etc, a pool, large locker room with steam room and shower, and even a cafe for grab and go foods. It should be noted that despite its size when this place is busy its BUSY. Large crowds and no space to actually work out will be the case during peak hours.

Great place for UW students to workout. Almost everything you need is available. Can be crowded sometimes.

Salright, pretty good for a campus gym. I focus on powerlifting movements, so Im mostly down in the free weight section. It can get really crowded but its to be expected with so many people at school here. I always manage to get my work done at a reasonable time though. The knurling on barbells varies from ok to horrible; if youre planning on deadlifting, find yourself an alright one, throw on some liquid chalk and call it good. Theres a lot of machines I dont use but people seem to be satisfied with them. The yoga classes are really great too, and it seems there is something for everyone here.

Saw and old man naked. Really threw me off. Had to go home early. Totally took me out of the mood to lift

Have been to the tennis courts a bunch of times. Theyre in very good shape. Non UW persons can use the courts although students and faculty get priority through online reservation

Great gym, has many floors, and very friendly patrons.

Great wide variety of exercise options, best Ive ever seen at a university gym

Great facility with a diverse range of equipment. Gets busy during the academic year, but it doesnt impede your work out.

I might enjoy my time here a little more if middle aged men werent casually jacking off and staring at you in the sauna

Miss going here everyday.. One of the best gyms Ive been to!

Good place to work out for students and employees. Tend to be busy between 8-11am and 3-7pm. Three floors of exercise equipment, including an indoor track as well as basketball courts and pool. Around 6 racketball courts are available to reserve but most of the time, reservation is not necessary.

Udub is the best....

Its a pretty nice gym - maybe the nicest ive been to. unfortunately, a lot of patrons dont bother to put equipment away when theyre done with it.

The IMA will nickle and dime you. Left belongings in locker and due to work schedule couldnt make it until today to renew. The personnel wouldnt even let you look to see if they had your correct belongings until your money was in their pocket. I paid good money to attend classes here. Due to this encounter I have decided to place my money elsewhere at a different gym. Dont waste your time with the IMA if youre a community member.

I am a swimmer and I have used the IMA pool for years. This is such a great deal for the University community. Excellent facilities are a great price.

Various activities available:- Weight Lifting- Lot of treadmills- Indoor swimming pools- Squash Tennis/Racquetball- Badminton- Basketball/Volleyball- Badminton- Outdoor: Tennis/Beach Volleyball/SoccerLot of lockers and showers (too open though)All of these are free for UW students (include in tuition) and available to public with small membership feeEasily transport by Link light rail and paid parking spots nearby

You can find anything you want here.

Best gym you will ever have!

Terrible gym, the positive reviews probobly come from people who dont know otherwise. Overcrowded with a floor plan that doesnt make sense. The scheduling is poorly advertised making keeping to a regular routine difficult during hollidays and summer vacation. The gym is literally inaccessible on football gamedays. There is no free parking and whenever there is a sporting event, even for unpopular sports, they charge additional fees for lot parking. If you have the opportunity to use another facility i recommend it. I have been disappointed countless times by this facility. On top of all of this, gym membership fees are charged to ALL students even if you dont use them.

Good price, limited parking, the usual equipment, could use more mats, TRX, and bosu balls. Personal training is excellent. Private rooms and equipment

Been working out here for two years and I still love this gym!

Outstanding great environment

They are closed all the time. Saturday and Sunday hours in the summer are 11am to 630pm and 1pm to 530pm, respectively. Ive never seen hours like that for a gym. They have a few million dollars of equipment sitting idle for what seems like a high proportion of the time.

Free for students, which is cool, but a little bit over-crowded

They have all the necessary facilities you need: basketball, volleyball, racquetball, tennis and badminton court, a swimming pool as well as a 3-floor gym. They also have equipment for rent!

Also known as the Safeway fields. These fields are a good place to bring a group and start playing whatever sport you want. They are pretty well maintained but if it has rained recently they get pretty cruddy. Also they get stinky, because it is rumored that the field is over top of an old landfill.

Fantastic place!

Overall good gym. Not as receptive to feedback as theyd like people to believe (see complaints about them senselessly removing equipment on Reddit) and a little slow on maintaining other equipment.

Great facility but I feel like a dirty old man sometimes.

First class facility. Anything from swimming to rock climbing and everything in between.

Was here during the Special Olympics. Loved it.

I felt really old.

I miss this gym. It was beautiful, clean, and nice when I was here. The sauna was the best!

Awesome facility at a very reasonable price for students, faculty and employees of UW

This place hosted the Special Olympics. UW is amazing

Parking and transportation access is awful. The facily layout is subpar. They have almost all the excercise equipment you need but the equipment is pretty dated. Most days I would rather go to 24 hour fitness.

They have everything fitness-related - excellent resource!

Only place where I am surrounded by the college environment at all times and multiple cultures at the same time.

Very good place to work out.

Good place to workout

Nice equipment and facilities. Lots of activities to get you engaged and active.

Was here to watch granson swim. Only issue I have is I am disabled and the bathroom in the swimming area was locked. Who does that? Holds an event and locks the bathrooms. I played hell finding a place to go

Lovely campus. I wish I could afford it.

Really good equipment and a huge well maintained facility

Lots of space, dont know what people are saying about lack of equipment. Do you have a problem being within ten feet of anther human being?

Basketball runs 24/7.

Nice equipment and facility. The staffs are also friendly and helpful.

Always overcrowded with college bros that like to hog equipments for 20-40 mins everyday. The bathroom is dirty and always seems to run out of soap.

Plenty of room for activities. Often holds intramural sports games.

Excellent facility. Lots to do and clean

Awesome gym! Parking Is free after 12pm on Saturdays and all day Sunday.

Great place to work out, dance, swim and rock climb.

Great place to get swole

Love this gym

Poorly run...lots of people who dont seem to do anything to keep the facility clean or equipment maintained.

Good facility but like most places management needs work.

Great facilities and good staff

As a UW student I have the privilege to use all the activities for cheap prices and cant ask more than that

I love you IMA

Clean, lots to do, attentive staff.

This place makes you tired

Positive, uplifting, energetic social place

Great gym!

Huge space with lots of equipment, courts, and fields

Great facilities, awesome smoothies

Tends to get really busy during prime hours

Big building filled with big boys

They have every recreational activity you can think of

It has everything.

A Very Nice Place to visit

Its good

Nice facilities but very crowded

Better than Stanfords gym

One place to visit even if you arent a student

Basically no air conditioning, too much equipment and machines people dont use and not enough squat racks. Weight room is ridiculously overcrowded.

AMAZING!

Proud of it

Average!
