Wow at the new Hammer Strength machines and Olympic squat racks! The new wing of the rec center will blow you away. Biometric admission system is pretty cool too.

Michael Corbett Sewell

I always use the weight room upstairs to avoid alot of congestion....Sunday evenings are usually pretty non-congested on the main floor if ur trying to decide when to work out on the weekends...

Alex McCracken

Best to come before 4:00, too crowded after that. Pretty dead 10:00-3:00. Too many machines, but barbell/freeweights are enough. Nice pools.

Aayla Anderson

I just started taking the Cross Training class (CTX). It's tough but it's going to make my running so much faster and stronger!

Opens at 5:45am. By 6:15 its packed and stays like that for the rest of the day. Be prepared for crowds.

Niki Rhodes

Get there during non peak hours to avoid the crowds. Field house has open hours too - plus it usually pretty empty.

KoreFit

Try the KoreFit machine - it provides a full body workout in one piece of equipment (especially for your core!)
