It’s a beautiful facility. It has a bunch of great features and great environment. The staff is also very friendly. They have state of the art equipment for whatever you want to do and an they work to keep it very clean. Definitely one of the most beautiful UofSC building. Not a big fan of the name but over beautiful facility.

Huge variety of machines, courts, free weights, and more. This place is the heart of student athletic events. This place has an indoor climbing wall, volleyball courts, many basketball courts, an indoor soccer / basketball court, racquetball courts, an indoor swimming pool as well as an outdoor swimming pool, and outdoor fields (3 full-length soccer fields).When you enter you need to scan your student ID, and need to temporarily hand it over for equipment rentals, so make sure to bring your card with you.

Modern facility centrally located. Has new exercise equipment and is very well managed by students and staff. Currently, Its not very crowded and sanitized very regularly by students. Everybody is required to wear a mask and clean the equipment that they touch Before & After use. Because of its central location downtown, parking is a major problem.. Personal trainers and staff are very reliable for a very nominal charge and I would encourage everybody to use them. This was facility is an example of how our tax dollars are used for students and encouraging health and fitness for all students.

Strom is open to all USC student with their Carolina Card. I mainly stick to the rock wall, because I like to send it; and because there’s not another rock wall near Columbia. #fullsend

I play racquetball here all time and have taken ballroom and Latin dance lessons here also. I love Strom. Not only is it huge, the skylights and windows bring in so much natural, invigorating light. The rock wall is great too, I always push myself to climb it at least once every year. The staff are super friendly. ☺

Gym itself is great with equipment selection, although its often overcrowded. The digital lockers in the locker room are mostly all busted or broken and have been for years so Id suggest bringing your own lock

Strom is a phenomenal facility. The rock wall is 3 stories tall. There is an indoor and outdoor pool, a hot tub and a sauna.The top floor had exercise machines and a 200 meter track. Most of the machines have TVs where you can catch a show while exercising. The staff are very friendly and there is a plethora of equipment you can rent.Parking is the only small downside to Strom.

Review №22

The “Strom” (it’s name in itself is perhaps the most South Carolina thing that has ever been) is at least impressive as a recreational center. It has an indoor track, multiple pools, a weight room, a rock climbing wall, etc. While thot patrol usually commandeered the ellipticals and chad mclifts-a-lot always flooded the weight room, the indoor track was at least usually not crowded nor judgmental. The one occasion I tried to use the lap pool, a group of guys attempting to relive their swim team days literally swam me out of every lane I tried to move to. The adjacent hot tub was also suddenly the scene of some amateur music video which I have yet to find on YouTube.

Being a USC student is required, but best gym is Columbia.

Review №24

Modern and spacious exercise facility open only to USC students and faculty/staff. I can only rate the pools which are small and mostly shallow, which I find quite bizarre, given the size of the facility and the expense of building it. The staff which is mainly students is generally uninvolved and unresponsive. Since I find this to be the case across the board, I have to assume that the problem lies with the way they are being supervised. When there is an issue that needs reporting, it never goes anywhere unless one goes straight to the top.
