The food at the cafe is the best. In my opinion, the best on campus. Order quesadillas or a chicken caesar sandwich , both are amazing. You can't go wrong with a smoothie either!

Yoann D. Bakala

Great fitness center . Mainly for DePaul student but also offer memberships to the public. I have find all the equipments and machinery my workout plan consist of.

James Langston

Noise-canceling headphones a must to drown out the "yah, brah"s & "ugghh dooood!"s in the background as you workout. Easiest to avoid the Brah Bunch before 9am & after 6pm.

DePaul University

Named for DePaul's legendary coach, the fitness center opened in 1999. Ray, 85, was on hand to dunk a basketball (with help from a stepladder). One of his players, NBA forward Tyrone Corbin, helped.

Juan Garcia

Take a class of LaVar's, especially the Extreme Circuit one. He keeps changing the routine so you work out different parts and so it doesn't get boring.

Larry Li

If you plan on talking on your cell phone on the treadmill stay home.

Matt Lawson

If you have been doing the same workout for a while and expect different results we should talk. Work with a personal trainer and get the results you have been looking for.

William Dickinson

There are 3 squat racks but they are busy during the school year, especially from 3-5pm

Reyna Griffin

Mind and body classes are the best and at a reasonable rate - 3 month pass is this best for the area.

Jason Domo

People listening to their phones/iPods should also use the disinfecting wipes to clean their devices after working out! :)

Maurice Howard

Basketball

Cindy Gudyka

Heather 's classes are the absolute best. If the older lady is subbing for her you'll wanna workout on your own

Cellucor

Wipe down that equipment after you finish up each exercise! Leaving a sweaty mess simply isn't cool!

KoreFit

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

Jen Aprahamian

Friday nights after 7pm, the second floor is nearly empty -- you can have your choice of equipment!

Nick Joebgen

The raquetball courts are great fun and the raquet rentals are free.

Phi Psi DePaul

It's almost guaranteed that you will find a Phi Psi brother working out at any given time of day. #teamilzeta

Cabanthony

If you time it right, the locker room smells like old bananas and sweaty underwear at the same time.

Kristina Navarro

Zumba with Julia is the best class ever. It's so much fun!

StreetWise_CHI

After sweating out all those calories recharge with a StreetWise. It promotes a healthy mind and body :)

Chris Nasti

Take a 5 week yoga or Pilates class . Most classes start the week of Feb 13. Register now.

Larry Li

If you want to talk on your cell phone get off the treadmill . Let someone else who really wants to work out use it.

Johnna Silver

Take Thurs. night Abs and Stretch w/ @hihaivu! You won't regret it :)

William Dickinson

$12 for non-students

Melanie Ann

Hope they bring back happy hour fitness. Best class ever!

Jim Andresen

Don't lift in flip flops, Toms, etc. if you value your toes.

Qiong Yuan

Taking mom to gym

Cody Carini

Chicken Caesar Wrap = Ecstasy!

Shane Sweeney

Put away your weights when you're done with them! Nothing is more annoying than picking up a stack of 45lbs in the middle of a circuit lift.

Angie K

If you think you're a badass, do any class Heather teaches.

DecibelAffairs.Com

Omg you should follow @decibelaffairs

Michael Sager

I love sweating upstairs.

Diana Rocha

Cardio kickboxing.

Alex Zahka

People love to leave weights on the floor.

Jordan Myers

Muscle work is my fav class

Larry Li

Don't use the vending machine to purchase Gatorade. It takes your money and gives you nothing. You would have go to ID services to get your refund.

Bobby Lite

Great Hoops... 3-8

Shane Sweeney

Don't make out in the weight room . Worst experience of my young life. What the hell were you thinking
