Mort Harris Fitness and Recreation Center

"I was told there was a unisex lockeroom. What is available isn't what most people would expect a lockeroom to be. It's just a handicap restroom that has "unisex lockeroom" on printer paper stuck to the door. If you're someone who would feel safer changing in a unisex lockeroom, I would recommend arriving in your work out attire. Otherwise you're waiting for the next person to finish changing or showering."

"i have to pay $10/day to go here without exception. my wife goes to WSU and there's no way for me to work out with her"

"I understand that this isn’t a D1 school, honestly a little surprised WSU is D2, but this gym is kinda embarrassing in regards to the quality of the equipment and variety. It basically looks like someone’s home gym. It does have everything you need to get a solid workout in but good luck getting the equipment you need without having to wait forever since there’s almost just 1 of everything except cardio machines. Really wish and hope the school invests money into redoing and improving this for us students especially since we pay for it and gyms in the area are extremely scarce."

"The WSU school gym I recently visited was a disappointment. It was evident that the gym was not being properly managed or maintained, creating a dangerous and unhygienic environment. The equipment was in disrepair, with broken machines scattered throughout the facility. The floors were dirty and cluttered full of tripping hazards. The lack of regular cleaning and sanitization was apparent, as sweat stains and grime covered the equipment surfaces."

"If you live in the Midtown area, this is one of your few choices for a gym. It's generally never too busy and they have a decent mix of options, assuming the machine you want to use isn't broken. Aside from that, the facility is the result of years of neglect, deferred maintenance, and lack of oversight and actual management. I understand the university wants to employ students, but it's common to see 5 or 6 "employees" at the front desk, all on their phones. They could be cleaning the 2 inch thick layer of dust that's been under the dumbbells for my entire four years I've gone here or investigating the strong mold smell that permeates throughout the basement level. There's a student downstairs making sure the rules are followed. Their on their phone the entire time while novice gym goers missuse and break equipment that takes months to fix. Women have their own section, which is nice. But that doesn't stop other people from performing hip thrusts on the deadlift platform or decline bench. So feel free to deadlift wherever you find room. Prior to COVID, they actually used to enforece their gym policies. I'd be the victim at times of "slamming" deadlifts too hard. At least then they actually enforced the rules. Now they simply took down those signs and the employees perform very little work. Advice to management and WSU leadership. Clean house and hire fewer students and use their salary to go toward preventative maintenance, fixing the half dozen or so broken machines and cardio equipment, and replace aging and dangerous machines."
