National Institute for Fitness and Sport (NIFS)

"Great facility. They have a wide variety of equipment for whatever type of workout you enjoy plus great classes. Always very clean and well maintained. Because it is on the IUPUI campus it can get busy during the evening when classes are in session."

"The Yoga Flow instructed by Caroline is super awesome class! I loved the way she teaches it and definitely look forward to attending more of her classes "

"Manager guy at front desk killed my desire to workout with his tonality. I'm new to the area and looking for a gym. Tried out VASA fitness and planet fitness and they are both more friendly, and have a better culture. While this gym has alot of equipment, it's not a good atmosphere. I signed up for a 7 day pass and got haggled about my ID being from NW Indiana. I would imagine there is a lot of lost business by turning away people In a large city just because their ID doesn't say indianapolis on it. Will not be back."

"NIFS: “Not Interested In Fixing Stuff” In this picture you can see spaces where TWO treadmills used to be. Well over a year ago these two treadmills broke, NIFS put signs on them saying they would be fixed ASAP. The two machines disappeared never to be seen again. NIFS apparently LIED to members when they said these treadmills would be repaired There is absolutely no excuse for these treadmills to be out of service for over a year!!!!! Fix them or get 2 new ones to replace them!! Currently there are now Two more treadmills out of service. It would not be suprising if these broke treadmills disappear and never reappear!!! At the very least, it will probably take them weeks to repair them Guess NIFS never heard of preventative maintenance for their most used machines, NIFS, you are pathetic!!!!"

"NIFS = “Not Interested In Fixing Stuff” This is essentially what NIFS stands for. Broken, unmaintained aerobic equipment and lackadaisical staff who are totally uninterested in maintaining and fixing equipment on a timely basis. The 4 relatively new FreeMotion treadmill are a prime example of this. 3 of these These treadmills consistently run poorly, and when people complain, the NIFS staff puts an “Out of Order, repairs will be repaired as soon as possible” sign on them. Signs are consistently posted on some machines weeks or even months at a time. Repairs are sometimes never made, instead, the signs are removed and the machines continue to run like garbage .What is just as bad, if not worse, is when staff are questioned when repairs will be made, they will either say “I don’t Know” or will say repairs will be done by a certain day and naturally, the machines are NOT repaired by that time."
