Lovely place and staff. Well kept with lots of things to do. Not sure what the average cost of a visit would be in a normal gym but when we went to visit today without our student ids they said it would be about $40! Nice gym, very expensive!

Nice standard college gym. Mostly missing locker rooms, but everything else standard. Does get crowded around typical times (3-8pm) so be aware. There are 2 separate equipment areas so if you cant find what you need in one, definitely try the other. Basketball courts are usually open too

Staff (specifically some guy named james) has nothing better to do than tell people how to workout. I was in a shoulder press machine, with my bag underneath the seat. An absolute minimum hazard to the gym. James refused to allow me to keep my bag UNDER THE MACHINE away from everyone else and put it away in a locker across the gym. rules make 0 sense. Maybe in a crowded free weight area, but cmon man. Nobody is bothered by it.

Love that they have a rock climbing wall and you can use their shoes as well! Wish they had extra machines though, lines can form with how busy it can get. Its also 5 bucks a day if you lost your card or arent an active paying student.

The rec is a super great complex that everyone who has access should use. Friendly staff, lots of good equipment, and always someone on a court if you want to hoop. The new fitness zones are amazing for anyone looking for more than just dumbells and treadmills.

It great facility with lots to do. Have clean, well kept equipment and personable staff. The only issue you can have that at the busy parts of the day it can be hard to find an open machine or bar.

While I like and use the rec complex itself, I am very disappointed with my experience with the outdoor rental center. I was wanting to rent a tent and a kayak. I was charged before seeing any of the products and when they brought the kayak out to our truck I realized it was too big. The staff were very rude and insisted that I could tie it down on top of the truck. My boyfriend said he didn’t feel comfortable towing in on top and that we could not tie it back down by ourselves. To this, an employee responded “we have girls that work here and they can do it”We wanted a refund because we could not transport the kayak. They were very rude about the whole process and acted like it was the most difficult thing in the world.

Great faculity, ambience is great, however some equipment are on the opposite end of the building. I feel some of the courts could be coverted to lifting area.

I am a student a K-State so I have the privilege to workout free of charge but in all honestly id rather spend my money on a membership elsewhere. There is not enough equipment for the amount of people that workout there and they dont have a good variety of equipment. There is a lot of wasted space with the amount of courts they have that could be used as other weight lifting areas. The three main lifting areas are on opposite sides of the gym so if you want to use something in a different area you have to walk what feels like a hike across narnia to go use it. The overcrowding is also ridiculous and I sometimes have to leave the gym because there is not a single piece of equipment available. 10/10 dont recommend getting a membership here if you arent a student.

I haven’t been to the Rex since it was remodeled. Went to cardio hip hop class and was disappointed. If I wanted a club like experience I would have gone to aggieville. There was a definite lack of cardio in that class, definitely had better quality cardio hip hop classes elsewhere. It also said all levels but no modifications were given.

Great gym. Has every thing I need . Plenty of weights and courts. Cardio equipment too if youre into that. Its busy in the mornings which I like to motivate me to work hard. I hate an empty gym and this place is bumpin. Only down side is if youre not a student its pricy to get started. Gotta buy a k state alumni pass (100$) then 20 per month
