Best gym ever . Had a personal trainer named Alexis . Best trainer ever . I went from being a scrawny dude to a swole one 😈. Thanks to him .

Awesome facility, nice equipments

The facility is very well kept, clean, and spacious. The only downside as a student is there are hardly ever benches available, since they’re always being used.

Back working out with my favorite trainer Jeff

Such a big facility and with so many weight machine options. I love working out here

Amazing place and people!

Wonderful gym to work out at!

When covid restrictions were high, we were allowed to bring guests. Now when the city eases up the covid restrictions, guests aren’t allowed.... 🤡🗑

Clean facility, great staff, New equipment and alot of space to socially safe distance

Good recreational space with variety of activities for UIC students.

Excellent facility. Swimming Kickboxing and gym are my favourite. You can also check your fat %. There is a badminton and basketball court inside. Also a quiet place for meditation and yoga. Machines in gym are superb, perfect muscle contraction. They also give towels if you forget yours at home for free. The staff is always taking efforts to keep the place clean n hygienic.

Wish it didnt close so early, sad covid

Amazing place to workout

Great man

Love this place.

Large facility, some machines are worn out, would not recommend going between 5-7pm, insanely crowded. Staff is great and very helpful. Lighting in the gym is pretty mediocre, lifters know the importance of good lighting.

Love the climbing wall here it has courses and routes for all skill level. The pool and lockers rooms are rather dirty and sometimes smell absolutely awful. The lifting area upstairs is wayyyy too small for the amount of student UIC has. It is consistently packed and if you want to lift youre going to have to wait for a machine to be available. The workers are nice usually and the smoothie bar is very good but expensive.

An excellent facility and very well managed

My fiance and I love coming here to work out and play sports together. The facility is very nice and clean and they have EVERYTHING! Racquetball, basketball, rock climbing, indoor track, indoor pool, steam room, sauna, squash courts, full weight area, locker rooms with showers and more activities outdoors. Each time we go we stay for a few hours and get a good work out in. My fiance loves to play pick up basketball with the college kids and other guys. Great place!

I live in the area and get the alumni rate. This place is the best value for a gym in chicago. I love it.

It is small. Shallow and you can not dive. People from the gym come to the swimming pool, Jacuzzi and sauna, and no shower before. People from outside walk inside without taking their shoes off. It is not neat. Not hygienic place.

As an alum, I enjoy the perk of working out here for 10 dollars a day.The parking lot needs some work, though. The indoor facility is cool. Its just funny that they have vending machines with unhealthy snacks. Whats the point of working out if the snacks are gonna put the pounds right back on? LOL!

Its awesome 😆 Time for abs!

My fav gym for the last 5 years!!!

Gym. Ping Pong. Badminton. Volleyball. Basketball. Pool. Everything is good about these here. No bad smell. Water is good in the pool.

Awesome rock wall and staff. Great variety of equipment. Decent pool with everything except a diving board.

I go to this Gym all the time. Since I am an alumni, I pay a discounted amount and as a result, this Gym is cheaper than other gyms with the same facilities. This place has a really nice indoor running track and several exercise machine. Downside is that it gets crowded during the beginning of every semester and its not open 24 hrs a day.

Great place to work out on campus if you live there or go to school at UIC.

Great gym to workout at. Its all state of the art and brand new. Has been cleaned and kept up well. Locker rooms are nice as well! Overall great facility.

This is a great place to workout. The environment is good. No issues.

Wonderful place to bring your children in the winter. Great swimming lessons!

I think some of the people posting negative reviews may not realize how great this place is by college gym standards! Enormous, tons of free weights with 4 squat racks, indoor running track, basketball courts, climbing wall, not to mention the aquatic area which is practically a water park (lazy river, hot tub, etc). There’s a gorgeous view of downtown and great natural light. Yes, sometimes during peak hours (4:30-7:30) you have to work around other people to get in your workout. It’s really not as bad as most gyms though.One suggestion: more hand weights in the 5, 7.5, 10, and 12.5 pound range... there are only a few sets in the entire gym, and people always hide them away for endless amounts of time, because they’re so hard to get your hands on.

Im there everyday that I can be! State of the art facility. Clean, well-organized, for the serious minded athlete, or the person who just wants to plug in and work out! Great relaxing pool and spa area.

Its a very nice facility, especially for a university. If they added a few more squat racka and benches this would be a 5 star review

The facility is great in value and function for students. Since its free I highly recommend it as you wont get too much more at another gym.

One of the best recreation and sport facilities I have ever seen

Swim classes for kids is excellent. Great teachers and a report on progress after each class.

Things break pretty often, and they take forever to fix. Great for price at least. Tons of classes and things to do.

Its superb. Huge area, multiple activity rooms, with badminton, volleyball, basketball, table tennis, squash & raquetball courts, has a gym with a huge collection of workout machines, has a cute swimming pool with a family area, a Jacuzzi, with steam & sauna bath facilities, provides towels & wipes everywhere, is well maintained, & it is everything you can ask for from a recreation center.

Ive only used the pool here for swim lessons for my baby but the pool is fantastic! Warm and perfectly designed for kid classes. The last river is awesome, hot tub enormous!

This place has everything you need: huge weight room with almost all workout equipment you’d ever need, running track, a bunch of basketball courts, pool with a lazy river, a boxing room and so much more. Best gym/recreational facility I’ve ever been too.

Clean place alot of machines and nice staff

College is proving to be very stressful, but the recreational center keeps me sane. There are so many things to do here that Im never bored and it pretty much has everything from rock climbing, swimming, running, to working out, etc. You name it and they probably have it.

Very nice facility for training and workout.

The people there clearly love the horses and are extremely knowledgeable

Great if guest passes werent $10. Thats too steep and there is no free parking anywhere. (Too be expected though)

Much cleaner than other neighboring gyms. Hours arent the greatest, especially on weekends. Great gym if youre a student at UIC, otherwise can be pricey if youre external.

The sauna is always off! There are a lot of people socialing while working out! Every time I need to wait so long to do my work out.

Good facility for fitness with lockers.Swimming, weight training, basketball, indoor running track, personal trainers, climbing wall, table tennis, squash, racquetball, volleyball, tennis and many more.Rate concession if a UIC alumni.

Great facility. Great options for cardio or weights. Crowd is understandably young. Can get crowded after 5pm but mornings and early afternoon is great

Its a great gym, its relatively cheap for non UIC students; $10 for the whole day. Working out there is great, its very clean and very nice inside.They even have outside basketball and tennis courts, indoor swimming pool, indoor basketball court, indoor track and an indoor climbing wall.

Way more bang for your buck if a local member or student. Services rival a roughly $1k subscription gym.

Very spacious workout area. Excellent infrastructure. Beautiful scenic view

Im giving this only one star because of unprofessional behaviour of the staff here, I had messages appoiappointment on Saturday morning at 10am and I was there on time, I received a phone call from the messages center telling me that they have to cancel and there is no one else to substitute. Seriously how professional is this, not the day before not at least an hour before but right at the appointment time. I guess they dont teach them professionalism before they graduate, or they dont give a dam about it.

Clean and well maintained facility. Very friendly staff.A lot of events to attend and new activities to try.

Terrible gym. Do not come here. Not enough squat racks, which are mediocre since they dont even close off at the back. The bars do not have rough knurling and are not thick so theyre pretty bad quality. Not enough dumbbells. Impossible to lift during late afternoon.

Thats perfect place for indoor activity with friends

Great facilities and tons of options. Gets crowded around early evening but thats to be expected in a college rec center.

Really great facilities. Offers memberships to community members (not just students and staff) at rates better than most gyms.

THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS GOOD

One of the best recreation facility I have seen in Chicago. It includes Rock climbing too

The pool area is fantastic- the steam room and lazy river are the best. Such a great gym, wish I lived closer!

Perfect facilities to stay fit and have fun. Especially the climbing wall.

Pretty good! Lots of workout rooms and classes offered, but there could be a bigger free weight section.

Great place. Can play or do all types of sports.

Great time here. Usually pretty crowded after 3 pm until about 9pm

Best place ever, swimming pool is huge. All equipment is in a good shape !!

Just go there and see it for yourself. Its a theme park for fitness enthusiasts. Its is also very very cheap as compared to other options.

Great place to relax and do your thing ( workout, play sports , eat ,etc.)

Offers a wide variety of facilities that are kept in good condition

You have gym, basketball, Swimming, Rock climbing and many other facilities available. Special discount for U of I Alums.

Awesome place. I love the climbing wall!

Great place. For any type of athletics

Love the bros here ... always motivating to see them werking it , #inspiration

The gym at UIC is awesome and huge and has a lot of equipment. There are 4 basketball courts where I spent all my college days playing pickup.

What a huge place with indoor swimming pool, hot bath, massage place, tropical smoothie, wall climbing, gym, table tennis court, basketball court

Nice facility but watch where you park

Has everything thing one needs to get a workout in, great views too!

Clean, Modern and safe!

Nice facility with good lighting and sturdy area

Awesome! Just awesome 😎👍😀

How much do I have to pay if I am not a student?

Jim

Students staff not making sure members and guests are following the rules.

Basketball court available only certain times as it gets packed especially in the evenings.

I go to school here and this is a pretty great facility.

Solid rec. center with plenty of options and good facilities.

Pretty nice gym to do olympic weightlifting

Great place to work out!

Beautiful place, definitely going to apply to UIC in 4 years!!!

Very nice view lots of equipment

Nice facilities 10/10 would rec again

Best gym around the Loop area

Always great especially for a Bears game

Great facility for uic students.

Amazing facilities and clean and new machines

They have a good indoor soccer field

No one is ever using the heavy bag so I can get a few rounds in whenever

Great service, great people!

Great! It has everything inside
