University of Akron Student Recreation and Wellness Services

Experiencia negativa: The employees need to do better, it’s nothing but laziness here. They have no respect for the people that actually come in to work out. Why are we having an employee meeting and taking them onto the track and letting them obstruct the lanes for the people actually running around the track? That was so disrespectful for me to have to move over because of a group of employees walking side by side in the wrong direction. And management is lazy too.

Experiencia fantástica: Trunk or treat was very well organized. Kids has fun

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Nice place

Experiencia positiva: Nice location to meet students

Experiencia fantástica: Went for open kayaking, not disappointed!

Experiencia fantástica: Michael at the front desk was awesome. I was recently enrolled in the graduate program, and he made getting set up very easy, great facility too. Lots of well maintained equipment and plenty of space to use it.

Experiencia negativa: Terrible parking and poorly planned out space. Will never return. No hot water in the bathroom.

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful pool… ok parking

Experiencia fantástica: I'm a band performer for here I play for summit academy and honestly they make the experience worth it

Experiencia fantástica: Akron universitys gym

Experiencia fantástica: Their swimming classes are good.

Experiencia positiva: Great place to swim and throw a party!

Experiencia fantástica: Love the Fitness multiplex. Levels of sheer Fitness with the lastest and greatest equipment.

Experiencia fantástica: A very good gym! I go all the time and love it!

Experiencia positiva: Nice place to workout is often busy during the beginning of spring and fall semester, but afterwards tends to slow a little and be steady crowd after those first few weeks.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a great deal for alumni if you're in the area. I come here mostly for the pools but the staff have always been helpful, the place is clean, and it's full of a variety of equipment.

Experiencia fantástica: Clean, not too crowded, helpful staff

Experiencia fantástica: I am an Alumni and just learned that I could take advantage of a discounted membership. It's clean and pretty quiet. This is my first experience working out and going into my 3rd week of 5 days a week this has been a great experience

Experiencia fantástica: That boyeee good. HE can RUN. simpson 1st place 60m and 200m.

Experiencia fantástica: Very big

Experiencia fantástica: Very good, lots of equipment.

Experiencia fantástica: It's nice...much nicer now then when I was a Zip

Experiencia positiva: Was near here for watching a baseball game. Nice campus.

Experiencia negativa: Some staff are so rude and arrogant. Let them do the job they really wanna do.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome facility! Went and watched wheelchair rugby there! Thank you for letting them use your facility!

Experiencia positiva: Very open and welcoming environment with plenty of opportunities to socialize while exercising. The coolest part, in my opinion, is the track on the second floor!

Experiencia positiva: A solid 3. Facility: disproportionately small to the population it serves. Expect a bit of awkward interactions when hustling for free weights, benches, machines, etc., as there are many patrons and limited equipment. Locker rooms are sterile, uninviting, and basic. Built just one notch above utilitarian standards; perhaps out of some necessity to hose down the entire space with a jet cannon of disinfectants. Maybe okay for 20 somethings covered in shame and STDs, but not the relaxing post-workout retreat sought by more refined patrons. Staff: constant revolving student staff that can't comprehensively answer your questions and frequently needs to talk to a supervisor who's perpetually unattainable. Pros: newer facility and equipment. Most patrons are friendly and amiable. A generous "spa" hot tub, that's always underutilized, great for soaking after a workout.

Experiencia fantástica: One of the BEST Around

Experiencia fantástica: This place was an amazing facility, I would highly recommend it if you are in the area.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome facility! Went and watched wheelchair rugby there! Thank you for letting them use your facility!

Experiencia fantástica: They have equipment for just about any workout one can think of. Good variety of weights, good track, sad that the rockside cafe doesnt seem like it is open spring 2022 which makes me a little sad because their smoothies smack and their other food is pretty good too.

Experiencia positiva: Awesome facility! Was there for a futsal tournament sand the gym and pool area looked awesome. Basketball courts well kept ans provided netting between the three courts to avoid cross play. Huge parking lot but the entrance was a little confusing.

Experiencia fantástica: It was fun and it had a lot to do

Experiencia fantástica: Very good, lots of equipment.

Experiencia fantástica: The best arena ever! They got everything that's needed and more. Very spacious, great equipment, good maintenance and cool staff. Whenever I go to another state, I miss this place so badly.

Experiencia fantástica: The recreational centre of the university of Akron.

Experiencia fantástica: State of the art

Experiencia fantástica: Gym of University of Akron

Experiencia fantástica: Best facility in North East Ohio..

Experiencia positiva: The facility itself is nice but it's just mind-blowing to me that you're not allowed to wear a tank top... I don't understand what the big deal is about that.

Experiencia negativa: Staff is rude no one forced you to work at the gym, and also be prepared to dress like it’s winter time at the rec center. you can’t even wear tank tops or you’ll make the people behind the desk feel insecure and intimated lol Look at the picture in my review to see an example of the dress code they expect

Experiencia fantástica: A great facility

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym in the area

Experiencia fantástica: Nice and clean.

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym around!

Experiencia fantástica: They have all the equipment you could ever need! An indoor track on the top floor, a cafe on the second floor, and a gym with basketball courts, ping pong tables, and the like. They even have a pool! It has a hot tub, a lazy river, and a whirlpool. Guest passes are $4/day for the pool, and $10/day for the rest of the facility. You don't even have to be a student!

Experiencia fantástica: Wow

Experiencia fantástica: My favorite place in akron

Experiencia fantástica: I learned how to swim here. It was fun!

Experiencia negativa: Very unfriendly indoor track meet facility.

Experiencia negativa: What kind of gym doesn’t let you wear a tanktop

Experiencia fantástica: We had so much fun at family weekend

Experiencia positiva: Nice facility, horrible parking. Why there is only one usable entrance to the pool area I can't figure out.

Experiencia positiva: It's decent. Has a lot of good equipment. Staff isn't always the best or most knowledgeable. Some days it's extremely packed.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to workout. Tons of equipment and open gym space.

Experiencia fantástica: clean

Experiencia fantástica: Great rec center

Experiencia fantástica: Great atmosphere for working out

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent place a bit pricey though

Experiencia positiva: Crowed first part of the week,best time for staff is early morning or end of the week and weekends

Experiencia positiva: Fantastic gym staff is very nice however they have some stupid rules such as no weights on the cushioned stretching and abb areas and no cut-offs, jeans, or anything else they feel inappropriate.

Experiencia fantástica: Good place for University students to work out and be active

Experiencia fantástica: Walking for a great cause! Great time! Can’t wait until next year!

Experiencia fantástica: The best university for business and management studies.

Experiencia fantástica: Took kiddo here for swim lessons. Great staff. Amazing facility.

Experiencia fantástica: I don't care what other people say, this place is amazing.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is like a resort. I have visited many different University/college rec centers over the years but this one takes the cake. There are at least eight fully-equipped squat racks, a huge assortment of dumbbells, and I love how the main workout floor has an open design and open ceiling. I've never had to wait for a piece of cardio equipment and the free weights are only crowded during peak times. Staff is always patrolling, there's always someone willing to give you a spot, and every piece of equipment is available. There's plenty here for everyone from the runner to powerlifter and everyone in between!

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym in ohio

Experiencia positiva: Working hours needs to change..

Experiencia fantástica: Crowded from 5-8

Experiencia fantástica: Clean facilities, nice staff and a huge pool!

Experiencia fantástica: Great rec, really adds value to the campus. I exercised here for four years and worked there for one year. Awesome layout, great courts, pool, weight-lifting area. Really nothing negative to say. Staff is awesome.

Experiencia fantástica: Lots of different activities to do, machines kept clean and running.

Experiencia positiva: Nice and spacious

Experiencia positiva: Very little eating out options

Experiencia fantástica: I enjoy a lot here

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best gyms in the country.

Experiencia fantástica: Equipment is well maintained, staff is friendly

Experiencia positiva: Love the rec. It's a good place to get a pump

Experiencia positiva: Great when schools not in session, otherwise it's helplessly crowded

Experiencia fantástica: Looks good , great

Experiencia fantástica: Helpful staff, lots of clean equipment. But don't wear cut offs or you'll be asked to change.

Experiencia positiva: Way over priced, which could amount to a net benefit by wading out impoverished Akron thuggery. Staff can be power-tripping children; other staff can be cool and laid back.

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best recreation and wellness center with lots of facilities Plenty of workout equipments and friendly staff I love spending time here

Experiencia fantástica: Great facilities and plenty of equipment available for use/rent. Staff will sometimes help you with workouts if you need it

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful facility! All of the machines and always a place to workout! Plethora of classes and options for all! The hidden gem of the University!

Experiencia positiva: Very clean and good hours when school in session. 5 basketball courts, a pool, hot tub, free weights, and machines.

Experiencia fantástica: I love coming to the rec. I have an alumni membership and it is the best gym value around.

Experiencia fantástica: I enjoy the yoga class. TRX is a total joke, the instructor doesn't care what you do. I went to one class, and I will not take it again. Equipment is usually in fair condition. I'm giving this place 5 stars because of the amazing power yoga class and the variety of equipment. Power yoga is not to be missed!

Experiencia fantástica: As a student of The University of Akron, there's no reason for you to go anywhere else. Everybody is very respectful and the University offers quite a bit to students free of charge, including a personal fitness evaluation. I'll most likely continue coming here for many years after I graduate.

Experiencia fantástica: Mostly amazing experience each time...just wish a sauna would be available as at the Nat in the falls. Don't want to consider switching...good staff and very clean!

Experiencia positiva: I am an alumni. The price can't be beat. They have a lot of good equipment and resources. I lift at 6 am which is the only time it's not busy. Except for summer. Their hours are inconvenient of the weekends. Staff is there when you need a spot. I would recommend to other alumni students.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome facility except no seperate timmings for male and females
