Would give 5 stars for the bike shop however the receptionists were terribly mannered. I had to carry my e-bike by hand across auburn just for them to be rude to me.

There's plenty of nice equipment.. if you like going early in the morning or late at night. Otherwise, it's packed. Yesterday I could have went and got a gym membership somewhere else in the time it took me to wait on a squat rack. Also, the camaraderie just isn't the same as a small gym. Too many frat guys there to pump up their arms and stare at girls. Also, the hours are always changing. I've drove down there on three different occasions to find out they're closed. Not to mention there's no parking from 7am to 5pm during weekdays, and even if you have C zone parking, there's one little lot a few minutes walk away. But hey, save twenty bucks, right? It's free! (except for the fact you pay an $800+ student services fee every semester)

Lots of different equipment! The 1/3 mile track is great, too. All the employees are wonderful. I enjoy it every time I go. It's always very clean. I've never had any problems here.

It is a great gym for most people! It is pricey if you aren't a student, but is a great facility. Sometimes the student employees can be rude but they don't receive as much training as they should sure to how much turnover they have, so it is to be expected.

Good gym. I have been going for the past two years while I have been in Medical school here in Auburn. It is very spacious and clean (too clean?). There is a TON of options for cardio, and the track is nice...even though I have only used it a few times. I usually go early in the morning to get out before 8:00, and I was sometimes 1 of 10-15 people. Gets overly crowded after around 4, and is basically useless if you want to lift weights.

Biggest problem? 90% of the people here (typical college students) have TERRIBLE form and try to lift heavy weights. This happens at every gym, one of the big problems at the Rec is that there are a TON of personal trainers helping people out, and I have often seen many of them training people to use bad form. Not sure who they are accredited with...

Anyways, great clean gym. Not worth the insanely high price if you aren't a student though.

One of the best fitness centers I've ever seen. Tons of equipment all over the gym. Plenty of amenities and sporting activities both inside and out. Staff are helpful and welcoming. Facility is clean and well organized. Home-run on this one.

Love this place. My favorite thing is that there are a few racketball courts. This place has everything, and some places are more tucked away than others if you prefer it that way. Classes and other services have a low monthly fee. It’s also apparently reasonably priced for non-student memberships!

The rec offers a wide variety of brand new equipment that is cleaned constantly while the facility is open. Everyone here is really friendly and helpful, but it is often crowded and it can be distracting if you're really trying to focus. It is also not friendly to powerlifters as there aren't really places to deadlift anymore after they shifted around all the machines. If you want a casual social outing and a workout, this is the place for you. If you want to grind and be focused and avoid crowds, this is not the best place for you.
