Tamu will milk you out for money, but the facility is decent.

What’s open is decently well kept but a lot of the gym is closed or has had equipment break and instead of replacing it they just close it off. The punching bags around the rec are a great example of this.

This whole facility is incredible. So much more than anything we had when I was in college. There swimming/diving pools are especially great.

Visit this wonderful sports complex regularly, mostly to play badminton. The facilities are excellent, the staff is friendly.

It is a huge gym. The swimming pools are very nice and I am definitely gonna miss it after I graduate. They also have all types of equipment that will serve you well. They also have a teach on the 3rd floor. Enjoy your workout. It got Smoothie and ATM as well. In addition to free lockers. Its a World class gymnastics.

You almost have everything. Gym,tracks,strength and conditioning rooms, racquetball courts, table tennis courts, basketball,volley ball courts, badminton courts, swimming pool. You can also rent out stuff to play with. Overall the best rec center

Good

Coming from a UT student, TAMUs rec center > UT rec center

Love going here. They have good facilities and a lot of equipment. Lots of different sports you can try out from rock climbing to swimming in one of their 5 pools/ 2 hot tubs. A very well equipped gym and a smoothie king right outside. I see reduced Covid 19 protocols being followed now but other than that it is the best. They charge for some of their equipment

Loved coming here to work out and play racquetball. It always helped me relieve the stress of my engineering classes.

Wonderful place to workout and it has all thw facilities for other indoor sports as well! I go here every day!

I was one of the 1st employees of this place and I never get tired of this place.

A good place, but just too expensive for a visitor, unless you are going to spend a good part of the day.

Best rec facility I have ever been to. Ample of equipment, large space, friendly staff

Awesome place for students to lift weights and swim and all kinds of good stuff.

Great for students like me to get some exercise.

Racks always full :(

Best place in BCS.

Beautiful place!

The Rec is one of the best facilities on the A&M campus. It is an all-in-one package, and has something to offer for everyone; climbing wall, running track, strength and conditioning, an Olympic-size pool, courts and a lot more. And everything is amazing in terms of quality, and is well-kept. In overall, it is an amazing place for recreation, sports and fitness.

Love this place. Pretty crowded, but their indoor track is amazing. Complete with 4 lanes for different speeds, it’s a great way to walk and cool down or go for a run. I haven’t tried out the classes yet, because of the price and the commitment, but I’ve worked out here a few times. I’m always doing cardio here.

Super nice in there. Lots of equipment readily available and I love the indoor track

Cant go in without student id

The climbing wall is great and all the staff I have talked to have been super helpful.

Update 1/23/2019. For the past two months, there are 6 badminton courts on two fixed courts. This is exactly we badminton players want. Appreciate it.update 11/27/2018. It seems that the situation getter better. They try to fix the badminton court locations.10/1/2018 Very bad service. The facility might be good. But badminton courted are always moved here and there. No respect.

Maybe ok for students but the worse for families. The only pool that can be used by children is closed most of the time in the weekend. The time slot for babies class is during nap time and the water is way too cold...When they do happen... You have to pay extra for classes and most of the time there are only a few lines opened for the public and the jacuzzi are closed. I have been in other universities facilities and families always felt welcome. Here were definitely not.

The staff is a huge pain, they will come up to you for something as small as having your bench positioned incorrectly and make you stop your workout to fix it. They play the music incredibly too loud even though everyone in the establishment is clearly listening to music in their headphones . Overcrowded .

Awesome swimming pool!

Great place to workout on campus. Staff here is also very helpful.

I dont know about the rest of the place but I do know that the pool is great! Olympic size and great quality. They can make it 50 meters for long course or 25 yards for short course. Worth going to for sure!

Great place to exercise... Note bring your own sweat towel or else theyll charge you a fee to use one of theirs.

Extremely busy, not to mention the fact that they’ve blasting music in all Spanish the whole entire time. So loud that you can’t hear what you’re trying to listen to through your headphones.

Real nice!

A great spot to work out, play games with friends, or just hang out. A bit expensive if you arent a TAMU student, but if you are, definitely take advantage of it while you can, because you wont be able to forever. They have weight equipment, rock climbing areas, basketball courts, volleyball and beach volleyball courts, an indoor track, ping pong tables, and plenty more.

Good place to sit have a coffee, and read Parking Cars.

Best place in BCS to hang out and get healthy

Texas a&m is many things, one of those things is having an extremely well put together and carefully planned recreation center for its.this entry was posted to the state games of Texas two years in a row and I find myself reminiscing of my time here at A&M.

Edit: the music is still too dam loud. Better have noise cancellation headphones or itll be way too loud. Always packed. The weight room is one third weights, a third cardio and a third stretching out place with artificial grass. If they made it a real weight room, there wouldnt be an issue of it being packed all the time everyday.

Excellent, I went to practice and can find space most of the time except maybe the first few weeks when it was full all the time. I also tried the group exercise, the instructors are very energetic, enthusiastic and friendly.

I love coming here to workout. Its a much better vibe than any off campus gym. You can play just about any indoor sport here. They have jacuzzis, lap pool, swimming lessons, and a dive pool. Rock climbing, weight room, cardio machines, and open space to do whatever you like. Cant beat it.

Decent place to workout. It would be 5 star if it weren’t for the crowd, oh my goodness it gets crowded. A lot of room and a good supply of weights and equipment but still overwhelmed by people.

Great place to go workout. BRING A TOWEL

They have 6 badminton courts.

Great place to get your pump on. Youll meet some wonderful ladies and make some even better memories skipping leg day.

This place sucks. I regularly get a guest pass here to play basketball. Today I arrived at 6:30 pm to play. I played one game and finished around 7 o’clock. After that game was over they came on the pa and announced the rec was closing at 8 (this was posted minimally throughout the facility). I asked for my $10 to be refunded and was denied because I played one game and “used their facility”. I may never return again. I suggest finding somewhere else if you are a non student. As if Texas a&m doesn’t have the money to refund someone $10. A terrible terrible experience. Go longhorns lol.

Love the gym. Theres tons of space for a workout. The weight room on the other hand....fraught with egotistic guys CONSTANTLY getting off to their own reflections (but its not everyone...just lots of them).

My favorite gym. I also take an archery class at the rec and its so much fun.

Lots of different options to train. Solo, in small groups, with friends, etc.It gets busy after classes in the afternoon, quiets down over the rest of the evening.Free and paid lockers available.

Can get pretty full sometimes but I think that people finally realizing that new years resolutions are bs has improved wait times drastically. The addition of turf was a bad idea. How am I supposed to plank or wall sit when my feet are slipping on it? And what is going to happen when it has been covered in sweat by millions of ab workouts? The pull up bars between the squat racks are annoyingly high to jump to on leg days were you go ham, but that is just a short people problem.

Cool Facilities and so many options. There is always some sort if renovations going on. It is usually busy during Fall and spring semesters.

Great facility, I use the running track on the third floor since it has the nice rubber floor that helps reduce damage to my knees. Air conditioned all year round, would highly recommend

Facilities have become much better than when I went to school here in 2016/17

You will get everything here, from badminton to swimming to gymming. Has an instructional pool with a jacuzzi, and an outdoor pool. Good options for gymming to choose from. Has a running track as well on the second floor. You can always grab a bite or a smoothie from Smoothie King after your work out session.

Outstanding facilities. The Rec has everything and in addition it is always clean and well kept.

Great gym and swimming pool.

Best place to workout. Can workout along with several motivated students

The nicest rec or gym ive ever seen even on tv and movies. Its amazing although its easy to get lost and you can always accidentally wander into places you didnt know existed. Needs a map at the entrance.

On Sunday afternoon, only 3 lanes in diving pool and the instructional pool is open. Are you kidding me? We pay over $100 per semester for the membership. How hard is it to open more lanes???

Best gym facility I have ever seen in the US and it has the perfect swimming pools for one to swim.

Best gym in town. Kinda pricey for a day pass.

Today the gym was busy like always and people were using the benches, with towels and water bottles on them to save their spots while they were doing standing exercises. So I took barbells onto the turn to use a bose ball as an equivalent to a bench. On my second set someone came to me to tell me I can’t do that because other people at the benches need to use the barbells. So, you’re okay with people not allowing others to use benches but you’re not okay with me moving the weights a few steps away? I’ve never been to a gym where they tell you not to use weights where weights are present.

Great place with a huge gym and variety of courts for all kinds of sports

Great facility, pretty strict on the parking there so make sure you have a school pass or fork out the money for a pay-as-you-stay lot.

Great place, just gets a little warm during the meets.

Best gym in college station by far...

Recent renovations are a much needed addition. Much more usable weight room now

Whether you enjoy waiting in its famously long squat rack lines or staring longingly at the menagerie of broken equipment signs, there’s something for everyone to do at the Rec center. After a 54 million dollar expansion that clocked in at 16 months behind schedule, the Rec center now boasts 1 bench press for every 3,750 Aggies.

Wide variety of equipment and enough so that even when busy there is still room to workout. The staff is very kind and helpful and the facilities are always clean.

Great facilities, good friendly staff. Like coming here frequently

Amazing place but has less table tennis tables

Impressive!

They have expanded the recreation center to include more multipurpose courts (volleyball/basketball/soccer) since I left in 2014. Its very nice.

Way to many people 24/7. Can never get a good workout in.

Cant wait for the remodel to be complete. Good equipment. Nice courts. Good classes.

Never go at 5-8pm. its ridiculously packed. But the expansion has been nice

They finally finished the Rec! The new layout and equipment is amazing.

This place has some amazing facilities

Its a great place to get in shape or just get your sweat on. Theres something for anyone, whether its your first time in a gym, or youre a power lifting pro!

I am so strong now thank you (

Great gym. Spacious and well equipped, even with dedicated squash courts.

Yall ever see that samurai dude doing Olympic lifts? Thats pretty cool tbh.

Awesome place to work out for a college student. I just wish they would fix broken weight equipment faster.

The environment is great! I love swimming here.

Friendly staff. Good hours. Great infrastructure.

Its a great place to workout, enjoy sports and be fit.

Tons of workout machines to use, clean facilities, and helpful staff. Be warned that the elliptical machines are usually packed, but finding a spot for yourself isnt terribly difficult either.

Very nice place. You can find facilities for almost all sports. Staff is quite friendly.

Great place for all kinds of sports and fitness activities.. Has an Olympic size pool, fitness center, rock climbing, squash, basketball, etc

Very good gym and has every thing you could possibly think of. A little busy but what good gym isnt would highly recommend.

Thankful for hosting Texas Special OlympicsGreat job A&M.

Incredibly well equipped facilities and a very friendly staff, what more can you ask for?

If you are AM student WOW. This center is top of rhe line. Go use it drop by see this facility

They have everything and their weight room is top notch!

Great facilities. Weight room gets packety-rackety. Its getting to the point that there is no optimal time to go in order to avoid the crowd.

Group classes are great. Pretty chaotic on a regular basis

Amazing recreation center, it has just about anything you want here.

Was intown for the TAAF summer games. Staff was very pleasant.

Largest Ive been in and awesome facility!

Very spacious and lot of room. Great rock climbing.

Oscee we appreciate your help!
