UMass Campus Recreation in Amherst

Honestly one of the best gyms I’ve been too.

Very crowded on most days, you’ll have to wait for machines to get free

So pathetic. Their employees are busy scrubbing equipment instead of watching out for safety. Saw a girl almost pass out on a treadmill and the so called employees were busy scrubbing machines down

Best for Gym at 100$ per semester with Badminton and Basketball courts along with 2 pools

I hope rec center would consider to accept virtual ucard in the future. It is 2024 now! Also, every year we need to fill the same membership form again although the information we fill are pretty much the same. There should be an option to just renew the membership instead of redoing this every year. It saves time for everyone.

really just a perfect gym. mostly student employees so it's really chill and the equipment is fantastic. only docking a star because it's clearly not big enough for the volume of students at the massive university. desperately needs expansion and the location is quite inconvenient on campus but still one of the best gyms I've ever used and always a pleasure to work out at.

I just want to talk about the hygiene issues at the gym. Here is an example of ignoring a deep cleaning the women’s bathrooms. I pointed this out to the main office, and even a female office manager ( I am not sure about her position), came to the bathroom with me and I showed the stain. I am sure that these stains are there at least for three years (since I’ve been here). I even put a suggestion note in the suggestion box and still no one cares! The bathrooms should be deep cleaned every semester.

Spacious. A variety of updated equipment. Plenty of group fitness classes throughout the day, too. Restrooms, lockers, and showers are clean, too. Just arrive early during the spring and fall semesters, as this place is popular!
