Warrior Recreation Center

"The best value for students, faculty, and staff! I love coming here because there's always equipment or machines available. The tricky part is finding a locker! It's so conveniently located, and the quality of everything (showers, too!) is top notch. Supersets are allowed for 3 machines max; be courteous about letting folks work in as needed. No more than 5 people can workout together as a group. Be sure to clean off equipment (towels and spray bottles of bleach are provided all throughout the gym). Seems to be busiest in the morning (8a or so) and around lunchtime, so plan accordingly. Have a great workout!"

"Great social distancing protocols in the age of ‘rona. Tape for where to go, turnstiles for cleaning recently used equipment, and student workers aware of the situation walking around and cleaning things. They also have self temperature check in the atrium. The only bad thing is that they got rid of a lot of equipment and the second floor free weight station but can’t complain since other gyms are much more “dirty” and are not as vigilant as UH gym. *edit: imagine complaining about this gym about not being a serious lifting gym when this is located on a college campus. Like how dim-witted do you have to be? It's like going to 7-11 and comparing their steak to a 3-star Michellin restaurant! Ridiculous."

"I dont know why this gym is rated a 4.6. Honestly, this is probably one of the worst gyms I've been to. A more accurate rating would be a 3-3.5.First of all, for the campus size, the rec center is too small. Before covid-19 took into play, the gym was already busy with people waiting to use equipment. I think part of the issue is that there are many cardio and resistance machines but there are more people that utilize the free weight stations, primarily the squat rack area. In addition, there are also a LOT of rules to follow! Which is understandable, but if you're a serious lifter with equipment I would reccomend signing up at a different gym. Before covid, you could not carry your bag around but you could carry your gear. To me, this doesn't make sense because I would have to carry at least 4 of my gear items and put them on the ground. Versus a bag, wouldnt that be a greater hazard? I can only imagine that under Covid-19, the gym has a longer wait line for social distancing purposes. But if you're serious about lifting, this is probably not the gym for you and I would reccomend either buying some dumbbells or look towards another facility."

"As a part of rec fees we get 10 visits with a personal trainer. This was my second session. She's great! The gym has a wide variety of machines. It's very clean and well staffed."

"Amazing facility. Inside there is two full basketball courts where you can just shoot hoops, play volleyball, or just jump into a game with other people. There is a very extensive area for weightlifting also. The downstairs mostly consists of fixed machines for you to do workouts on. The upstairs consists of mostly free weights, benches, and squat racks. There is more than enough equipment to go around and you will always be able to get a workout in. The facility is always clean and there are many workers there who are readily available to answer your questions or help you with anything."
